The prince's company said in May last year that he had made new investments worth $1 billion in 15 U.S. companies, including Coca-Cola, McDonald's Corp and Gillette. It said his stakes in each of the firms amounted to $50 million. Earlier this year the prince sold his entire stake in Donna Karan International Inc (NYSE:DK - news) at a loss shortly after the U.S. fashion design house agreed in April to be purchased by French luxury group LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton . The 44-year-old prince, a nephew of Saudi King Fahd and whose net worth is estimated at $20 billion, is known for his high profile international investments.
