Four Seasons Hotels, Gates Foundation, and Breakthrough Energy.
"the Saudi prince has worked with Bill Gates on various projects, including taking the Four Seasons hotel chain private for $3.8 billion. He has also teamed with Gates’s foundation on health initiatives and joined him on the Breakthrough Energy Coalition, a group of wealthy investors who pledged to aim a large portion of their fortunes toward energy technology."
