In 1997, Time Magazine reported that bin Talal owned about 5% of News
Corporation,[8] Rupert Murdoch's company which is now the parent company
of Fox News. By 2010 Alwaleed's stake in News Corp. was about 7% stake
at worth $3 Billion noted the 2010 News Corp. $70 million (9%)
investment in Al-Waleed's Rotana Group, the Arab World's largest
entertainment company. The review also referred to the Al-Waleed
investment AOL in the past tense.[9]
[edit] Charitable activities
Much of the charitable activities of Al-Waleed are in the field of
educational initiatives to bridge gaps between Western and Islamic
communities by funding centers of American studies and research in
universities in the Middle East and centers of Islamic studies in
western universities
[edit] World Trade Center attacks
In October 2001, following the World Trade Center attacks, New York
mayor Rudy Giuliani turned down a $10 million donation from Al-Waleed
for disaster relief after the prince suggested the United States "must
address some of the issues that led to such a criminal attack," and
"re-examine its policies in the Middle East." However, Giuliani
interpreted his statements as drawing "a moral equivalency between
liberal democracies like the United States, like Israel, and terrorist
states and those who condone terrorism."[10].
