Mohammed bin Salman, full name Muḥammad ibn Salmān ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz Āl Saʿūd, also known as MBS, (born August 31, 1985), member of the Saudi royal family who serves as crown prince (2017– ) and prime minister (2022– ) of Saudi Arabia. He also served as minister of defense (2015–22). He is the son of Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz and his third wife Fahdah bint Falāḥ ibn Sulṭān.
Early life
From a young age Mohammed was interested in government, shadowing his father and remaining conscious about his image. Along the way he learned how to communicate with a wide variety of dignitaries and to avoid indiscretions. He attended King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in law in 2007. He afterward founded a number of firms and a nonprofit organization intended to promote entrepreneurship in the kingdom. In 2009 he became a formal adviser to his father, who was then governor of Riyadh. As Salman rose in rank and influence, eventually becoming crown prince in 2012, his trusted son Mohammed rose with him.
In January 2015 Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah died and Salman became king. He immediately appointed Mohammed as his defense minister. In a matter of months Mohammed launched an aggressive military intervention in Yemen’s civil war. Known as Operation Decisive Storm, the campaign intended to give the government of Yemeni Pres. Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi a decisive advantage against the Shiʿi Houthi insurgency in the north of the country. It was thought that a Houthi victory might give Iran, Saudi Arabia’s main regional rival, a foothold along Saudi Arabia’s southern border. The campaign, however, failed to turn the tide in the war and led to little more than a prolonged stalemate and one of the worst humanitarian crises in modern history.
Mohammed was also placed in charge of the state oil company Aramco and the Council of Economic and Developmental Affairs, the country’s primary policy-making body for economic development. He sought to open up Aramco for an initial public offering (IPO) and set out on bold development initiatives, such as his Vision 2030 plan designed to attract foreign investment for industries outside its energy sector. Some of these policies proved too ambitious, however. Though he anticipated Aramco to launch the world’s largest IPO as early as 2017, the move was repeatedly delayed until the end of 2019.

The legendary King Abdulaziz Al Saud was a remarkable leader, a visionary unafraid of change. King Abdulaziz was a leading revolutionary of his day commanding a band of brothers to becoming a mighty nation of great wealth, prosperity and ambition. In 1902 he recaptured his family’s ancestral home, the city of Riyadh, and ambitiously pursued many other parts of the Arabian Peninsular. These conquests left him as ruler of nearly all of central Arabia. He was the first monarch of Saudi Arabia setting his kingdom on the road to modernization. As King, he presided over the discovery of petroleum in Saudi Arabia and began large-scale oil production after World War II, capitalizing on the lands wealth of resources. During his rule, King Abdulaziz established the nation’s infrastructure; the development roadways and basic communications, introduced modern technology, established educational systems, health care and agriculture. He fathered many children, including 45 sons, five of which became rulers of an increasingly modern Saudi Arabia.
