I don't know how true this is. I have seen several reports stating that his net worth is no more than $300 million in USD. And one of those reports stated that they received their information from his family in Saudi.

I tried to do some research on this guy and didn't come up with much.

The report is that yes, he's worth around 300 million that he inherited when pop (oil money) died and has somewhere around twenty brothers. I wonder if the blow each other up when then don't get along? [;)]

Anybody have any intel links?

You forgot a few facts:

-He's human
-As a human, he can be killed
-When he's killed, there's a spot reserved for him in hell.

Bin Laden is only a needle in a haystac.  Time to burn the haystack.

I think my wife said it best.  She wonders if they though their heaven would be that hot.

There's a profile of him in the New Yorker at [url]http://www.newyorker.com/FROM_THE_ARCHIVE/ARCHIVES/?010917fr_archive07[/url].

As a youngster he inherited $80 million and got a civil engineering degree. He's a wahhabi muslim, the dominant sect in Saudi Arabia, very conservative. Like many putatively conservative muslims, he wasn't adverse to spending time in Beruit or Egyptian (The vegas of the middle east) nightclubs, drinking and womanizing.
