Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, often referred to as MBS, is the heir apparent to the throne of Saudi Arabia. Born on August 31, 1985, he is the son of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. Since his appointment as Crown Prince in 2017, he has been a key figure in the country's modernization efforts, known as Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the economy and reduce dependence on oil. MBS has also been involved in various social reforms, including granting women the right to drive and promoting entertainment options within the kingdom. However, his leadership has faced criticism for human rights issues and the ongoing conflict in Yemen.
