How rich is Prince Bandar bin-Sultan?
Prince Bandar, who served as Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States from 1981 to 2005, just sold what’s reported to be his last Aspen-area property for $5.87 million.
But an Aspen Times source suggests that it was never one of the Prince’s residences. Instead, he used the 5,980-square-foot house, located on just shy of three acres in Aspen’s exclusive Starwood development, to house his engineer.
By Bandar’s standards, the place is modest, particularly in light of a place our Alan Prendergast told you about back in 2012 — the Hala Ranch, which sold for $49 million.
But if the latest property represents slumming for Prince Bandar, it will certainly strike the average person as spectacular. Take a photo tour, with images and data from the original listing.
