Sustainability sprouting in Saudi Arabia

Bin Alwaleed looks less and less like an outlier these days, even among Saudi billionaires. Last July, his father pledged to spend his $32-billion fortune on healthcare, education, and alleviating poverty, matching commitments from the likes of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to give more than half their wealth to charitable causes.

Last month, he also announced a $50 million investment Breakthrough Energy Ventures as part of an initiative to invest more than $1 billion in clean energy technology. His father has also recently become vegan, bin Alwaleed adds proudly — a dietary change he likes to think he may have influenced, even a just little bit.

"We have a great relationship," says the prince, "and that vegan thing just took it to a whole new level."
