Revealed: Top 100 richest Arabs in the world

Dubai: Although the prices of oil have fallen considerably, the world's top 100 Arab tycoons have only gotten richer, amassing a combined wealth of $174.37 billion (Dh639.94 billion) this year, an increase of $8.3 billion (Dh30.46 billion) on 2014, Forbes Middle East said on Monday.

The biggest chunk of the Arabs' wealth, estimated to be around $65.88 billion (Dh241.78 billion), belong to the billionaires and millionaires from Saudi Arabia, making the oil-rich nation the leader in terms of total wealth acquired.

The richest tycoons from Lebanon take the second spot, registering a total of $33.77 billion in fortune, followed by the ultra-rich from Egypt (third), with $27.12 billion in wealth and UAE (fourth), with $22.72 billion.

Kuwait's most affluent secure the fifth spot, with a combined wealth worth $6.68 billion (Dh24.51 billion).

This year's list of richest Arabs is still led by Saudi Arabia's Prince Al Waleed Bin Talal Al Saud with an estimated fortune of $22.6 billion (Dh82.94 billion).

Joseph Safra from Lebanon, whose fortune reached $17.3 billion (Dh63.49 billion) this year, is the second richest Arab in the world.
