A friend of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman once spent 52 crores in one night for a party. The Crown Prince organised his birthday party in Maldives and if reports were to be believed, he spent $ 8 million for that.

In the party many hollywood stars were invited. Pop singer Pitt Bull, Korean star PSY, J-Lo, Shakira, Jenifer Lopez were among the guest list who were catching the eye-balls. Last year MBS or Salman also bought a luxury yacht from Russian businessman which was worth 370 crores.


Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman is currently serving as deputy Prime minister of his country and is also chairman of the Council for Economic and Development Affairs, chairman of the Council of Political and Security Affairs, and minister of defense – the world's youngest at the time of his appointment.

MBS became popular after a handful of reforms he made in his country, which include regulations restricting religious police and removal of the ban on female drivers. Other reforms under his reign include the first Saudi public concerts by a female singer, the first Saudi sports stadium to allow women and increased presence of women in the country’s workforce.

MBS recently came in the news for bad reasons, when his was named in a murder of famous Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Khashoggi was living in exile in the United States and was travelling to Turkey for his marriage when he was murdered inside the Saudi consolate in Istanbul.
