*He has drawn comparisons to [[Kim Jong-un]] of North Korea due to 2-year long purge of various members of the House of Saud "old guard", similar to various purges that Kim conducted within his own family.
*Prince Mohammed is considered the architect of the war in Yemen. The war and blockade of Yemen has cost the kingdom tens of billions of dollars, further aggravated the humanitarian crisis in the country and destroyed much of Yemen's infrastructure, but failed to dislodge the Shi'ite [[Houthis|Houthi]] rebels and their allies from the Yemeni capital. More than 50,000 children in Yemen died from starvation in 2017. From 2015 till May 2019 the number of total deaths of children is said to be approximately 85,000. The famine in Yemen is the direct result of the Saudi-led intervention and blockade of the rebel-held area.
*In November 2017, Mohammed bin Salman forced the Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri to resign when he visited Saudi Arabia. Mohammed bin Salman believed that Hariri was in the pocket of Iran-backed [[Hezbollah]], which is a major political force in Lebanon. Hariri eventually was released, went back to Lebanon and annulled his resignation.
*His net worth is estimated to be 3 billion in United States dollars.
*In December 2017, a number of sources reported that the Crown Prince, using his close associate Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Farhan as an intermediary, had bought the ''Salvator Mundi'' possibly by Leonardo da Vinci; the sale in November at $450.3 million set a new record price for a work of art. This report has been denied by the auctioneer Christie's, the Embassy of Saudi Arabia, and the Government of the United Arab Emirates, which has announced that it is the actual owner of the painting. The current location of the painting is unknown.
*Despite Saudi Arabia's refusal to recognize the State of Israel, Prince Mohammed has voiced his support for a Jewish homeland, becoming the first ever senior Saudi royal to express such sentiments publicly. In fact, he has formed an alliance with Israel against Iran, pitting many other Arab countries into this. He has also condemned Israeli Prime Minister [[Benjamin Netanyahu]]'s plans to annex the eastern portion of the occupied West Bank known as the Jordan Valley.
