Ramadan with Prince Alwaleed bin-Talal

If you don't know who Prince Alwaleed is, check it out on wikipedia. He is currently worth an estimated USD$21 billion.
The Prince prepares to hold a feast to break fast for 350 Saudi men at his lavish Camp Rumah.
After the feast...the men line up. Guess why?

The guests will present the Prince with their requests for money and favor. Most of the guests will make their requests in writing...so the Prince won't forget i guess *grins*.

It is said that the Prince will grant every person at a least a portion of their request.

An aide gathers all the requests in a briefcase where they will be reviewed by his staff later. It is estimated that the Prince will spend USD$1.5 million after the requests are reviewed.
Anyone in Malaysia doing this? Heheh...
