You bet. When Mohammed (his father) died in a helicopter crash in 1968, his children inherited the billionaire's construction empire. Osama bin Laden, then 13 years old, purportedly came into a fortune of some $300 million.

Is he really? I don't think the cult leader is rich when all he has is money and the minds of those who can't see thru him. Most of which are teens, young adults, and the confused aren't they? As far as I know the wealthy are free to live - he is not because he did something wrong. It's not like he's in hiding for nothing - it's due to his "poor" judgement.

In Ossama's case...he doesn't have to be rich. He has plenty of people sitting in Saudi Arabia....with hundreds of millions at his disposal....should he even ask. Its just like if Billy Graham came up and asked the American public for $100 million....he'd have it in two weeks. Ossama carries the same weight in Saudi Arabia.

Sure. Before he went into the terrorism business- he owned one of the largest road construction operations in Saudi Arabia. Made a fortune. And for ALL we know- HE may be the guy setting up those bright orange cones in the middle of the road- in a neighborhood near YOU!!! (So THINK TWICE about brushing that guy back when you pass him on the street...he may have OTHER plans... ).

Yes. Where have you been for the last five years? I believe most of his personal assets have been frozen though.
