How does Forbes measure wealth?
Forbes Middle East estimates each person's fortune from the value of the companies, shares, property and other assets they own, minus known debts. That's why the figures move with share prices.
The 2026 list has 37 Arab billionaires from 7 countries, worth $138.7 billion in total. Saudi Arabia has the most names, and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is number one with $19.9 billion.
Please note
A fortune isn't a salary: it's the value of everything a person owns. The figures are estimates, and we update them when Forbes Middle East publishes its new list each year.
