Where was the tour arranged?

It was in the popular holiday destination, the Maldives. Velaa Private Island and Cheval Blanc Randheli, two expensive islands were used by the guests.

Who were invited?

Apart from Prince’s high profile guests, celebrity Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull, South Korean superstar Psy, DJ Afrojack, Shakira and many more were thought to be present there.

“Blood and Oil: Mohammed bin Salman’s Ruthless Quest for Global Power” is a book wrote by Bradley Hope and Justin Scheck. They wrote about MBS and here are some claims from them about the tour:

“It was a vacation fit for a prince.”

“The cost was a whopping $50 million.”

Each of the resort’s staffers got a $5,000 bonus on top of cash tips. Those same workers usual salary is just $1,000 to $1,200 a month.

To ensure secrecy and privacy the staffs were not allowed to bring smartphones on the island. They could only bring devices like Nokia 3310 for communication purposes. There was also an incident of rule breaking and caused two staffs work loss.

According to them, One night MBS got so excited during a performance that he climbed on stage. According to the book, “The men and models cheered when Mohammed took over the DJ table and started playing records of his choice while Afrojack skulked away muttering, careful to curse out loud only when he was out of the prince’s earshot.”
