The former porter, cleaner, cook and office boy, founded what was to become one of the world’s largest Islamic banks with his brothers. Despite no longer playing a role in the bank’s operations – he is 90 years old this year, after all – Al Rajhi’s influence is felt through every level of society thanks to his philanthropy. Having pledged two-thirds of his estimated $8bn fortune to his charitable foundation, as well as his 19.7 per cent stake in the bank, Al Rajhi continues to fight poverty, provide education, build mosques, hospitals, relief projects, and more. A truly powerful legacy. Co-founder, Al Rajhi Bank Origin:KSA Residence:KSA Sector:Finance
