I'm a little confused about this list and could not find reliable sources.
Is Forbes the source for the entire list as the first paragraph suggests? I failed to find the link, and as far as I know, Forbes doesn't count royals in their wealth lists. "We do not include royal family members or dictators who derive their fortunes entirely as a result of their position of power, nor do we include royalty who, often with large families, control the riches in trust for their nation. This means the wealthy royal families of the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries are not eligible for our global wealth ranking." Source.
The article says this is the 2019 list while Forbes have excluded all Saudis from their rankings because of the 2017–19 Saudi Arabian purge, so how come there are many Saudis in the list? Also, the list counts Al Saud's wealth as $22 billion, which is a small number for one of the wealthiest families in the world if not the wealthiest, the Wikipedia article suggests their wealth as $1.4 trillion, and I personally don't trust these numbers for royals, and if we're counting royals, where is Al Nahyan of the UAE? because undoubtedly their wealth worth tens of billions.
Also, Zainullah Henayati is an Afghani not an Arab (Update: there is no billionaire with the name of Zainullah Henayati), and the high ranking of Al Yousifi Family doesn't look true at all. There are other things that look unusual in the list.
