In the Forbes article, Dolan wrote that al-Waleed would blind copy Dolan on text messages he sent to prominent people in an attempt to impress her. She spent a week with him in Riyadh in 2008, at his behest, touring his palaces. In 2006 Forbes estimated al-Waleed's net worth at $7 billion less than he claimed. He telephoned Dolan at home, according to the editor, 'nearly in tears'. Al-Waleed had Kingdom Holding's chief financial officer fly to New York before a previous list was published to ensure that Forbes used his stated numbers.The article explains the methodology behind Forbes ' 2013 estimate of his wealth at $20 billion, examines Kingdom Holdings' share performance and contains Dolan's communications with Kingdom Holdings CFO Shadi Sanbar.
Sanbar demanded that al-Waleed’s name be removed from the billionaires' list if Forbes did not increase its valuation of his wealth. Dolan wrote, 'As Forbes asked increasingly specific questions in the process of fact-checking this story, the prince acted unilaterally the day before it was published, announcing through his office that he would 'sever ties' with the list.' Sanbar said in a press release, 'Prince Alwaleed has taken this step as he felt he could no longer participate in a process which resulted in the use of incorrect data and seemed designed to disadvantage Middle Eastern investors and institutions.' Al-Waleed said in a March 2013 interview with that he would pursue legal action against Forbes. 'They are accusing me of market manipulation,' Al-Waleed said.
'This is all wrong and a false statement. We will fight it all the way against Forbes.'
He called the Forbes list 'flawed and inaccurate', saying that it 'displays bias against Middle East investors and financial institutions.' Reported that on 6 June 2013, al-Waleed had brought a defamation claim in London against the publisher of Forbes; its editor, and two journalists from the magazine. Forbes expressed surprise at the libel action and the fact that it was filed in London. According to the magazine, 'The Prince's suit would be precisely the kind of libel tourism that the UK's recently-passed libel reform law is intended to thwart.
We would anticipate that the London high court will agree. Forbes stands by its story.' As of 20 June, Forbes had not been served with papers.A statement issued by the accused Forbes of publishing a 'deliberately insulting and inaccurate description of the business community in Saudi Arabia and specifically, Forbes ' denigration of the Saudi stock exchange , which is one of the most regulated in the world'. According to al-Waleed, the magazine used an 'irrational and deeply flawed valuation methodology, which is ultimately subjective and discriminatory'.On 16 June 2015, Forbes and al-Waleed released a joint statement announcing that they had settled their dispute 'on mutually agreeable terms'. The opening of the Saudi stock exchange to foreign investors was cited as key in the defendants' willingness to consider the stock price of al-Waleed's publicly traded Kingdom Holding Company in valuing the KHC component of his wealth.
Political views Al-Waleed tweeted a statement with a picture of himself holding an honorary Palestinian passport, 'In response to the news of the visit to Israel: I have not and will not visit Jerusalem or pray inside it until its liberation from the Zionist enemy. And I carry an honorary Palestinian passport'.In 2015, al-Waleed was criticised for offering to buy Bentley cars for Saudi fighter pilots involved in the.

Donation after 11 September attacks After the, al-Waleed gave a check for $10 million to New York City Mayor, despite Saudi opposition. In a written statement after his donation, he said: 'At times like this, we must address some of the issues that led to such a criminal attack. I believe the government of the United States of America should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stance toward the Palestinian cause.' As a result of that statement, Giuliani returned his check.
Al-Waleed said to a Saudi weekly magazine about Giuliani's rejection of his check, 'The whole issue is that I spoke about their position on the Middle East conflict and they didn’t like it because there are Jewish pressures and they are afraid of them.'
