Remember a few months after 9/11? A Saudi prince tried to give Pres Bush several million bux to help the survivors? It was Prince al-Waleed. Am glad that the President refused the gift.

EDIT, forgot to tell you the worst part about working for him. He has the two large airplanes above, the largest in the world until the A-380 came along. For EVERY flight both airplanes are fueled, catered, staffed and ready to go. He walks to the airport and makes a decision which one to take that day on the flight, then boards that plane. The other airplane then fires up and follows the "primary" airplane where-ever it goes just in case it might break down.

Everywhere he goes, it not only costs an arm and a leg, it costs twice what it should cost because of this procedure.
