Among the 11 Saudi princes arrested under charges of corruption today is Alwaleed Bin Talal, the billionaire businessman. Bin Talal has stakes in companies like Apple, Twitter and Citigroup, to name a few.

Alwaleed Bin Talal is also a member of the Saudi royal family. Ranked among the richest men in the world, Alwaleed Bin Talal, is the founder of Kingdoms Holding Company. The Company has invested in financial services, tourism and hospitality, mass media, entertainment, retail, agriculture, petrochemicals, aviation, technology and real-estate sectors.

Alwaleed is the largest individual shareholder of Citigroup, the second-largest voting shareholder in 21st Century Fox and owns a number of hotels. TIME even called him "Arabian Warren Buffet".

According to a New York Times report, the anti-corruption committee that ordered the arrest of Alwaleed and the other 10 princes was decreed a few hours before the arrests were ordered. The same report also claimed that atleast three senior White House officials, including Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law were in Riyadh last month. The details of the meetings were not disclosed.

Alwaleed Bin Talal is the same Saudi prince, current US President Donald Trump had a Twitter spat with back in 2016. Here's what conspired during the infamous Twitter fight.

Responding to Trump's calls for banning Muslims from entering the US, Alwaleed Bin Talal called out to Trump and asked him to drop out of the US Presidential elections.

".@realDonaldTrump You are a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America. Withdraw from the U.S presidential race as you will never win," Talal wrote on Twitter back in 2015.

Trump being the way he is, responded back calling the Saudi prince "dopey" and accusing him of trying to control US' politicians with his daddy's money.

Dopey Prince @Alwaleed_Talal wants to control our U.S. politicians with daddy's money. Can't do it when I get elected. #Trump2016 - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 12, 2015

Interestingly, Alwaleed Bin Talal had helped Trump twice during the 1990s with his finances. Bin Talal owns a yacht which he bought in the early 90s. The yacht was called Trump Princess till after Alwaleed Bin Talal bought it and renamed it Kingdom 5KR. A few years later, Alwaleed again came to Trump's rescue by buying stakes in Trump's Plaza Hotel, once Trump's favourite hotel.

However, after Trump won the US Presidential elections, Talal tweeted to congratulate him. "President elect @realDonaldTrump whatever the past differences, America has spoken, congratulations & best wishes for your presidency," Talal wrote on Twitter.

President elect @realDonaldTrump whatever the past differences, America has spoken, congratulations & best wishes for your presidency. - ?????? ?? ???? (@Alwaleed_Talal) November 9, 2016

The sweeping campaign of arrests is seen, by many, as an attempt by King Salman to strengthen the hold of crown prince Mohammed bin Salman over Saudi Arabian politics. The crown prince is one of the leading voices in matters of defense, finance, military and social policies in the country. Reports also suggest that the crown prince has grown closer to US President Donald Trump.
