Sultan’s fortune is estimated at $270 billion, which he distributed between his sons prior to his death in order to shore up their political position in the competitive princely arena. The reality is that every senior prince has placed his favorite sons in important positions in the Kingdom.
阿齐兹的财富大概有2700亿美元，死前就分配给了各位儿子，以便巩固他们在激烈的王子竞争中的政治地位。目前，所有年长王子都安插器重的儿子到沙特王国的重要位子上。阿齐兹确保了赫勒德（Khaled）身居国防部长之位，还将赫勒德声名狼藉的弟弟班达尔（Bandar）召回担任沙特情报安全委员会（Intelligence Security Council）主管。阿卜杜拉则保证其子米塔伊布（Mitaeb）国民预备役司令的地位。即将成为王储的奈伊夫则让儿子穆罕默德（Mohammed）担任下一任内政部长。
