Hotel Chatter has a great story of the fabulous lives of crown princes. One of their spies was at the Four Seasons Hong Kong at the same time the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia was staying there. Apparently the Crown Prince rented out 179 rooms (nearly half of the hotel), had 100 Mercedes-Benzes waiting for him out front of the hotel at all times and came with thousands of pieces of luggage. The Crown Prince came and went on two private 747s. Michael Jackson needs to make friends with this guy.
