Although this royal isn’t as close to the throne as others, he’s made quite a name for himself. His grandfather is the brother of the former king. Anyway, he graduated from Standford and got hired as the Head of User Operations for, oh just…Facebook Arab. That’s not all! He founded a tech comapny called NA3M or New Arab Media, which makes games that Saudi Arabians can enjoy and relate to. Prince Fahad lives in Los Angeles and consults for his government on cyber-technology and youth programs, serving as the Foreign Ministry’s Head of Student Affairs.

It’s hard to keep up with all the princes in Saudi Arabia, but the more you learn, the more it sounds like Game of Thrones! Everyone loved the former king, King Faisal back in 1975, who kept close to the United States and worked on modernizing the nation. He seemed to care for his people. Unfortunately, his nephew, Prince Faisal Ibu Musaed hated him and on March 25 in 1975, the prince shot his uncle three times. Sadly, medics couldn’t save the king, but his last wish was to spare his nephew’s life. The high religious court found the prince guilty and regardless of the late king’s wishes, decided to behead him in public.
