Yeslam bin Ladin’s father, Muhammad Bin Ladin
Muhammad Bin Ladin was a Yemeni-born Saudi billionaire business magnate who worked primarily in the construction industry. He founded the Saudi Bin Laden Group and became the wealthiest non-royal Saudi, establishing the wealth and prestige of the Bin Ladin Family. Muhammad Bin Ladin is the father of Osama bin Laden.
He fathered 52 children by 22 wives. While his first three wives remained relatively stable, his fourth wife changed frequently. On 3 September 1967, Muhammad bin Ladin was killed when his airplane crashed during landing in Usran, ‘Asir Province, in southwest Saudi Arabia.
They carefully retrieved Muhammad’s body and prepared it for burial. At dawn the next day, a somber procession conveyed his body from the palace to a family plot in a nearby cemetery. Muhammad’s death caused profound sadness, for he was highly esteemed within the bin Ladin family and among the people of Jeddah.
The funeral procession drew an immense crowd, with nearly ten thousand people lining the route to the cemetery. King Faisal deeply affected by the loss, was a close friend of Muhammad. After the funeral, King Faisal met with the bin Ladin family and informed the children that he was placing them under royal protection.
He assured them that they would receive their fair share of the inheritance when they reached the age of 21. With the loss of Muhammad as their unifying figure, Muhammad’s many wives, ex-wives, and children began to disperse to different parts of the kingdom, although they still maintained their family connection with the Saudi Bin Ladin Group. Muhammad’s eldest son, Saleem Bin Ladin, took over the family business and eventually expanded it into an international company.
