Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal is threatening to boycott an annual list of the world’s super-rich, after Forbes magazine claimed he was worth ‘only’ £13billion. He is unhappy with a ‘flawed’ estimation of his wealth, which left him languishing in 26th place with a mere £13billion. Prince Alwaleed, the Saudi King Abdullah’s nephew, insists his investments in London’s Savoy Hotel, Apple, Citigroup and News Corp have been undervalued.

Prince Alwaleed has written to the magazine’s editor-in-chief Steve Forbes asking to be removed from the list, saying he will no longer work with their valuation teams. He has reportedly instructed his lawyers to look into taking legal action. But he will continue to cooperate with the rival Bloomberg billionaires index, which ranks him as the world’s 16th-richest person with a fortune of £18.5billion. He alleges that Forbes refused to accept valuations of his company's stocks on Tadawul, the Saudi Arabian stock market, but says that the index takes into account valuations on other emerging markets.

 She said the management’s reaction to the tragedy was to provide a paltry N30, 000 towards the burial of the deceased. “It shows callous disregard for workers that the management of the National Hospital would put in a mere N30, 000 in the burial of a staff who died in active service,” she said.
