Couldn't care less about this degenerate dying.

 

[Waa dhamatay]

Old news. And he’s an Emirati prince not a Saudi prince

 

[Shimbiris]

It really is a shame. King Abdulaziz was such a nin, wallahi. I would personally argue he was a genuine contender for the title "The Greatest Arab Born Since The Prophet (SAW)". Such a hardy, willful, cunning and thoughtful man with little in the way of uqdad. But I've noticed such men, as I have seen within some of my own family, can often be distant fathers and grandfathers as they are too absorbed into their work and ambitions hence why his son and first heir, Saud, was an utter degenerate who nearly bankrupted the Saudi regime within a few years after his coronation. Allegedly half of Riyadh's electric bill was going to his palace at one point and servicing lavish parties and a lust for khamr and naago so strong it was alleged he had well over 100 children, both legitimate and illegitimate.



But then there was the cunning and efficient Faisal right after him so I don't fully know what was going on with this saaxiib and why he was such an eff up.

There've been several Emirati princes who've unfortunately met the same fate, through the same path.

Sheik Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi (son of Sharjah ruler) died in the UK due to cocaine.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi (also son of Sharjah ruler) died in the UK due to heroin overdose.

Sheikh Rashid bin Mohammed Al Makhtoum (son of Dubai ruler) died in the UK due to 'heart attack', but cocaine and other substances was rumored to have caused it.

There tens of thousands of Saudi princes. All of them getting monthly salary of thousands of dollars without doing nothing except bearing the name of Saud. So the probability one of them getting drugs and ciyaal suuq life and overdosing is pretty high. abdulaziz wasn’t that good

Well i do understand that abdulaziz ibn abdulrahman was an extraordinary man i wouldn't go as far as to say this.

I would personally argue he was a genuine contender for the title "The Greatest Arab Born Since The Prophet (SAW)"

There is sahaba tabicun, tabicun al-tabicun shiekhs imams and sultans that had a long lasting impact on the muslim world as whole and procced him in terms greatness.

King Faisal cleaned up the mess of his brother, and developed the country quite extrodinary from my knowledge. Strong opponent of Israel on moral grounds, just an overall commendable king. Shame he got assasinated.

There are estimated to be 15,000 members of the House of al-Saud royal family.

The first king of the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was king Abdul Aziz bin Abdul Rahman al-Saud, who's thought to have had 22 wives and 44 children.

His reign started 1932 and ever since his death in 1950, it's went to his son Saud and then from one brother to another. The current king is a child of the first king, and some his other children are still alive.
He created a clan of his own

His reign started 1932 and ever since his death in 1950, it's been going down to his son Saud and then from one brother to another. The current king is a child of the first king and some his other children are still alive.
He created a clan of his own

I've heard figures of up to 4000 now you're telling me it might go up to 15 000? That what, in the span of 1-2 generation? If this is possible there might be some truth to the arab heritage of some somali clans kkkkk.

He had his failings but as a leader he was a man's man. I stand by that. Also, a lot of that princely prestige is dying now under MBS. Read this book whenever you get the chance:

MBS and his aabo have heavily centralized everything. A lot of princes have all but lost their stipends or are now just given something very modest. The shacab also barely visit their majslises now as well.

Faisal was the true steel, wallahi. But to be fair to Saud, his lady's man routine was in part clearly something he picked up from aabo:

Tales of Abdulaziz’s courage and wisdom are common in Riyadh. Whether true or
exaggerated, they are widely believed and often intentionally focus on the old king’s
role in creating and preserving the nation. One relates to a battle during the Wars of
Unification with the Ajman—the tribe that killed his younger full brother, Saad.
During a campaign in the Eastern Province, Abdulaziz was severely wounded and
carried from the field. As rumors flew that their commander was dying, the ever-fickle
Bedu began to desert. Suddenly, they were surprised to hear the beating of wedding
drums. To their amazement, Abdulaziz had sent to a nearby village for a young woman
to marry. He took his new bride into a tent and emerged with evidence of having
consummated the marriage. Needless to say, the crowd went wild—what a guy! Shot in
the stomach and still a stallion. Desertions ceased, the army rallied, and the Ajman
were defeated—at least, temporarily. According to some versions of the story, the king
then sent for the American missionary doctors in Bahrain who saved his life.

The siege of Jeddah began in January 1925. The Ikhwan commanders urged
Abdulaziz to simply storm the city, but he was cautious and concerned about
international public opinion. The Sultan of the Nejd did not want another Taif-style,
Ikhwan rampage in the Hejaz. Reader Bullard—then a young British Consul in Jeddah,
who would later become British minister in Tehran during the Second World War—
wrote in his weekly report to London.

There is little doubt that Ibn Saud could take Jeddah if he made a serious attack.
His failure to do so is attributed here mainly to the presence of foreigners and to
Ibn Saud’s fear that his followers might get out of hand and indulge in indiscriminate
killing and looting . . . The last thing he wants is to begin his rule in Jeddah falling
foul of the foreign powers.​

A week later Bullard added, “No communication whatever from Ibn Saud who sits
quietly in Mecca doing nothing much, but getting married to a lady who is said to be
his 107th wife.”

Abdulaziz fathered almost 100 children on his own, among them at least 45 sons. From what I recall, he had a brother and several uncles and cousins who were within his inner circle and helped him secure Riyadh back in the day and were awarded the title "His Highness" (lesser than the "His Royal Highness" awarded to his direct descendants) and once upon a time all of these vast numbers of kin were granted pretty stipends and, more importantly, lots of government grants and generous land endowments. They took great advantage from a business perspective:

A second threat to Al Saud legitimacy, and thus their kingdom’s stability, is
corruption. Politically sanctioned profiteering has been an endemic problem in Saudi
Arabia, at least since the first oil boom when King Fahd tacitly accepted it as part of
the oil income redistribution processes. Powerful sons of King Abdulaziz who
controlled bureaucratic fiefdoms siphoned off large sums for their own use and
provided an umbrella of protection for select subordinates to do the same. Contractors
were paid for flood controls that they never built. Firms were paid to treat sewage
that they actually dumped into the sea. Public land was given away and then sold
back to the government at exorbitant prices. Senior military officers owned companies
that imported munitions or repaired aircraft. It could have been worse. Unlike many
oil-fueled kleptocracies, Saudi roads, schools, and hospitals actually got built; the water
is drinkable; and the electricity works—but, of course, it all could have worked much
better with less corruption.

One reason MBS and his aabo are well-liked by some of the shacab is that they have been cracking down hard on this sort of clownery.

You're correct. I remember in the beginning of his rule, he asserted power (more than de-jure allowed for a crown prince) by 'locking up' the richest in the country; both civilians and royal family members for 'corruption' at Ritz-Carlton hotel in Riyadh.

On the flip-side, while cracking down on the 'dynasty', he has somehow gotten rich with a vast amount of wealth for himself. From all of a sudden buying a Leonardo da Vinci art for 450m, to a 500m yacht, to a 300m Versatille mansion in France.
