King Fahd

Link
When Saddam arrived in Kuwait, Fahd wrote him a letter, reminding him of how much the Saudis had contributed to his brutal war against Iraq[Iran-my correction]. "Oh Ruler of Iraq," Fahd wrote, "the Kingdom extended to your country $25,734,469,885. 80 cents." Analysing that sum, I once calculated the figure issued by Fahd courtiers was out by a dollar and a cent. By contrast, Fahd’s bankers calculated they spent $27.5bn on paying for America’s liberation of Kuwait - slightly more than they paid to Saddam.
