There's a lot of rumors and allegations around him - this article goes through some: http://www.businessinsider.com/prince-alwaleed-2012-1 http://www.businessinsider.com/prince-alwaleed-2012-1 - accused of rape (case went to court) - keeps dwarves as basically 'court jesters' - tosses dwarves - maims animals instead of shooting to kill - poorly treats workers - "But several sources say this pilot, Hanadi Zakariya Hindi, has hardly flown any of Alwaleed's aircraft, certainly not his massive jets. They say that when she was hired, Alwaleed told his aviation staff that she never would." then again, "Al-Waleed announced that he would donate his entire fortune to charity at an unspecified date, in order to foster cultural understanding and empower women among other motivations." is a pretty big move if true

There's good and bad in most people, and most people do good and bad things on a daily basis, let alone over the course of a lifetime. It's quite possible he mistreats his servants and maims animals, but also intends to donate his fortune at a future unspecified date. (And if you wanna talk concrete - he did send a large cheque to the mayor of NYC immediately after 9/11 that was ultimately refused for political reasons). I don't know the Prince at all except for the occasional news article (including the one you've linked, coincidentally), but my objection was to GP's blatant lumping in him him with the rest of the Sauds (some of whom are undoubtedly very bad), and how that's acceptable because he's, well, a Saud.
