Inside the Private World of Mohammad bin Salman: A Glimpse Beyond the Crown

In the heart of Riyadh, the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammad bin Salman (MBS), leads a life that remains largely shielded from the public eye. However, recent revelations by the well-known Saudi account “Mujtahid” on the platform “X” shed light on the personal habits and idiosyncrasies of the de facto ruler.
MBS’s daily life, as described by “Mujtahid”, is anything but ordinary. The Prince’s schedule is devoid of any regularity, often disrupted by erratic sleep patterns induced by sedatives. Such unpredictability extends to his meals, with a penchant for fast food, particularly burgers and the Patchi brand of chocolates.
Despite his position, MBS’s trust seems to be a rare commodity. He reportedly spends hours on social media, not relying on his aides, and is known for his deep-seated jealousy towards more accomplished family members. This envy, sources suggest, has even led to the imprisonment and alleged torture of Salman bin Abdulaziz bin Salman bin Mohammad Al Saud, a multilingual and multi-talented relative.
While MBS’s professional life is under constant scrutiny, his personal relationships remain a mystery. Rare visits to his family home in Riyadh’s Khuzama district hint at a distant relationship with his wife and children. Instead, he divides his time between various palatial residences, including a lavish farm in Al-Amariyah.
Meetings with Saudi officials, irrespective of their rank, mirror MBS’s unpredictable nature. They can commence at any hour, stretching from mere minutes to several days. Yet, when it comes to international dignitaries, the Crown Prince is punctual, often relying on stimulants to ensure alertness.
