Talk:List of Saudis by net worth

Can I / should I add the bin Laden family?
This is my first post, so please be gentle. :) I was just wondering why the bin Laden family isn't mentioned here. Most sources say they have between 7 and 10 billion to their names. This seems the most authoritative, but I can't get through the paywall here.  Maybe somebody else could skim the article for me? https://www.economist.com/books-and-arts/2003/06/26/c-for-capitalism

This shows they have at least 1.5B liquid: https://www.foxnews.com/world/bin-laden-family-poised-to-build-worlds-tallest-building-in-saudi-arabia

This shows they are at least multi-billion in wealth: https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,1000943,00.html

I don't generally trust these guys but they say 7 billion: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9965126/osama-bin-laden-family-net-worth/

5 billion: https://www.nytimes.com/2001/10/28/world/nation-challenged-relatives-bin-laden-family-with-deep-western-ties-strives-re.html

7.1 billion: https://www.businessinsider.com/the-richest-arabs-2010-1?op=1#7-the-bin-laden-family-9

7 billion: https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/529623-how-bin-laden-family-made-rs1-093-billion-fortune

10 billion: https://www.celebritynetworth.com/articles/celebrity-homes/osama-bin-ladens-brother-lists-abandoned-bel-air-mansion-for-28-million/

"Today to collective Bin Laden family is worth perhaps as much as $10 billion cumulatively."

They may not pass the "notable" test in the western world, but they are important in Saudi Arabia and Yemen I think; moreover, they qualify for this list, no? I'm sort of surprised that nobody had enough interest to add their name. I guess Wikipedia is where memory holes are born. :P
