The House of Saud, the ruling royal family of Saudi Arabia, is widely recognized as the wealthiest family in the Arab world and one of the most affluent dynasties in human history. Estimates of their combined collective net worth exceed $1.4 trillion, largely driven by vast sovereign assets, massive real estate holdings, and the immense market capitalization and oil reserves controlled through the state-owned petroleum giant, Saudi Aramco. Other prominent wealthy Arab families include the Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi and the Al Sabah of Kuwait.
