Salem bin Laden (1946-1988) was a Saudi Arabian investor.
The eldest of the bin Laden brothers (a half-brother of Osama bin Laden), he acted as the patriarch of the bin Laden family after the death of his father Mohammed bin Laden. Salem managed the family's extensive investment portfolio (thought to be valued at around $16 billion).
Supposed political connections and Salem's unusual death in a ultralight aircraft accident outside San Antonio, Texas, have been cited in various conspiracy theories.
