Khashoggi acquired his assets in the 1960s and 70s as an intermediary in global arms trade. One of his clients was Lockheed, the aircraft builder of which [Dutch] Prince Bernhard took bribes in the 1970s. Khashoggi himself was also controversial, partly because of his role in the Iran-Contra scandal and his ties with the Philippine dictator Marcos.

One of his brothers gave him a lion cub as a gift …

In 1987 he was still on cover of Time magazine, but after that his business empire collapsed and he was charged with fraud. He has never been convicted. …

He married twice, but also had eleven concubines whom he housed in his many villas and yachts.
