More recently he has become known for his philanthropic activities after donating his 19.7 per cent stake in Al Rajhi Bank, worth nearly $5.5bn, to an endowment dedicated to charitable causes in 2013. This and the transfer of stakes in his paper, plastic and family investment firms saw him named in a list of the world’s top philanthropists by wealth consultancy firm Wealth-X in 2015. At last year’s Global Islamic Economy Summit in Dubai, Al Rajhi was awarded the lifetime achievement award for his founding of Islamic charitable organisations and Al-Rajhi bank itself.
