I have been called in to help on a big NYT investigation into how low oil prices have been effecting the personal finances of royal family in Saudi Arabia. Obviously they called in much of their cash from the likes of BlackRock and others but I thought you might have some ideas. Maybe some people to talk to?

I would think its more than cutting down on yachts and private planes or selling real estate in Paris, Istanbul, London.
Any thoughts?
