In later years, they were joined by brothers, Abdullah and Mohammed and diversified their into real estate, trading, construction, manufacturing, etc. although banking and finance remain their primary source of family wealth.

The Al Rajhi family is considered, by most in Saudi Arabia, as the country's wealthiest non-royals, and among the world's leading philanthropists.

Saleh Al Rajhi's retired in the early 1990s leaving his vast business interests to be managed by his sons and grandsons.

Nonagenarian and eldest member of the powerful Al Rajhi clan, he has the second-largest shareholding in the family's Al Rajhi Bank (see also: Sulaiman Bin Abdul Al Rajhi, Abdullah Abdul Aziz Al Rajhi, Mohammed Abdul Aziz Al Rajhi); group's share price skyrocketed 89% over the past year.
