It’s cool that we have one of our own in the list. If you noticed, Al Waleed is also the youngest billionaire. One day I will be on that list too. I will make a fortune and write my article, publish it on Waleg.com and I’ll tell you all my secrets, just you wait and see!

Well good for you. Actually Carlos Slim helu is of Syrian origins too so he could be considered one of our own as well.
Al Waleed is not only a successful investor but he's also a philanthropist. I've at his company for two years and I learned a lot and improved my working skills which have benefitted my career.
Silvana...we're in with a chance most of them r beyond pension...I'll do the scheming & planning (bribing with photographs), u do the seducing. Then again Zayed’s ambitions are very interesting...I'll be the witness and u b the bride. Sorted!

I think we would have more of a chance to bribe these billionaires if we send Zayed and THEN take those incriminating photos. That way Zayed can start his investments and he will be on his way to build his empire and we blackmail him afterwards and take 50% of any assets he has. I do not know I am getting a vibe that the Swiss guy would be the best place to start. Date drug anyone?.
Carlos Slim is a Lebanese Maronite not a Syrian.
As a matter of fact his name is Carlos Haddad Helu of maronite Lebanese immigrant parents.
And his late wife is a Maronite, as her family names Doumit-Gemayel proves.
Waleed bin Talal is half Lebanese which makes us have one and half Lebanese in the world's billionaires list!
Well since his parents migrated to Mexico when Lebanon was still part of the so called greater syria :), the Syrians have claimed him. I assumed they were right but I asked dad and he confirmed what you said.
I think you mean one and a half in the top TEN billionaires list, because do not forget the Hariri family. Only us would claim the half, but since he has aspirations to become our Prime Minister, I suppose claiming Al-Waleed Bin Talal as one of our has its merits.
