Alwaleed, considered the richest man in the Middle East and a nephew of the late King Abdullah, is a major investor in both 21st Century Fox, in which his company Kingdom Holdings is the second-largest voting shareholder with a 6.6 percent stake, and Twitter, in which it is said to hold more than 3 percent. Earlier this year, the investment vehicle sold a stake in News Corp. valued at $190 million and reducing its holding to around 1 percent.
