Forbes exclude saudis from 2018 billionaires list over corruption charges

I think there may be some misinformation here.

Forbes did not exclude the Saudi royal family from its 2018 Billionaires List due to corruption charges. In fact, the Saudi royal family, including King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, were included in the 2018 Forbes Billionaires List.

However, it's worth noting that the Saudi royal family has faced criticism and scrutiny over corruption allegations in recent years. In 2017, the Saudi government launched an anti-corruption drive, known as "Operation Zero Tolerance," which led to the arrest and detention of several high-ranking officials and princes, including Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a billionaire businessman and member of the Saudi royal family.

Forbes has not explicitly excluded the Saudi royal family from its billionaires list due to corruption charges. Instead, the publication has reported on the various corruption allegations and scandals surrounding the Saudi royal family, including the 2017 anti-corruption drive.

It's possible that you may be thinking of another publication or organization that has taken a different stance on the matter. If you could provide more context or clarify what you're referring to, I'd be happy to try and help further.
