Mohammed bin Salman is the Second Deputy Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, the Minister of Defense, and the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Mohammed bin Salman was born on 31 August 1985 in Jeddah. He is the son of Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, King of Saudi Arabia, and his third wife Fahda bint Falah bin Sultan Al Hithalayn. He graduated with second-highest honors from the Faculty of Law at King Saud University in Riyadh.

After completing his university education, Mohammed bin Salman worked in the private sector for several years before entering royal service. On 15 December 2009, he began working as a special adviser to his father, who was then Governor of Riyadh.

Following the death of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud on 23 January 2015, Mohammed bin Salman’s father was declared King by the Royal Court. Initially, Muqrin bin Abdulaziz was named Crown Prince. However, on 29 April 2015, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud appointed Mohammed bin Nayef as Crown Prince and designated Mohammed bin Salman as Deputy Crown Prince.

On 23 January 2015, Mohammed bin Salman was also appointed President of the Royal Court and Minister of Defense, marking his rapid rise to prominence within the Saudi leadership.

In June 2017, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud removed Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef from office and appointed his son Mohammed bin Salman as Crown Prince, consolidating his position as the kingdom’s primary decision-maker and future monarch.

As Minister of Defense and Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman has played a central role in reshaping Saudi Arabia’s domestic and foreign policies. He has been widely recognized as the driving force behind ambitious political, economic, and military reforms aimed at redefining the kingdom’s regional and global role.

Mohammed bin Salman is married to Sara bint Mashour bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. The couple has four children, including two daughters and two sons.
