Bin Laden family
Overview
The bin Laden family of Saudi Arabia is the owner of Saudi Binladin Group, a business worth approximately $5 billion in 2001. They also have close ties to the Saudi royal family, and have invested in fund established by the Carlyle Group.
They have supposedly disowned family member Osama bin Laden, who is believed to have masterminded the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States, although there is evidence that some ties remain.
