Warren Buffet? Hello, everybody has to be determined for success, and not succumb to temporary failures. Warren Buffet held Coca cola shares worth 1.3 bn US$ for MANY years in LOSS. It took him many years to just break even. However, his investment in Coca cola proved to be one of the most lucrative ones.
Bin Laden? Check wikipedia. His father was a rich businessman.
Alwaleed? He took a 300000 dollars loan from his dad, the king of Saudi Arabia to start his first venture! He bought Citigroup shares back in 1991, when noone would step in! He was able to sell them at around 30-60 dollar/share price. But his bad luck was that he sold most of them in 2007, when citigroup started tumbling. As a result, his net worth is now substantially less than a few years ago. The Citigroup shares are now around only $4!!! Due to a rundown in the financial system!

according to wikipedia which u claim as accurate
it states*The family traces its origins to a poor, uneducated Hadhrami named Awad bin Laden, a Kendah tribesman from the village of Al Rubat, in the Wadi Doan in the Tarim Valley, Hadramout Province, Yemen. He died in 1919*
His son was Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden (died 1967). Mohammed bin Laden was a native of the Shafi`i (Sunni) Hadhramaut coast in southern Yemen and emigrated to Saudi Arabia prior to World War I.He set up a construction company and came to Abdul Aziz ibn Saud's attention through construction projects, later being awarded contracts for major renovations at Mecca, where he made his initial fortune from exclusive rights to all mosque and other religious building construction not only in Saudi Arabia, but as far as Ibn Saud's influence reached.*
PRINCE ALWALEED BIN TALAL was not what you call a proper royal,he was born to a lebanese woman.Therefore had no access to proper wealth of Saudi royal family.
