This particular demonstration of a "royal" using the wealth of his country to treat himself like the most important person on earth is really pissing me off this morning for some reason. 450 million dollars would go a long way to helping a LOT of people on this planet... I mean 450 million to replace his current plane which is already worth 100s of millions of dollars. Damn.

Bin Talal may be short on taste, but his fortune is for the most part the result of his own investment decisions. He inherited a lot, but he's not getting paid out of the public treasury of Saudi Arabia.

At least he is using the money only for his pleasure unlike America that uses its money to spread misery in the world. Better to use it on a luxury plane than on fighter planes, cruise missiles etc etc that kill inocent people.
