Саудовская Аравия потратила $1,5 ТРИЛЛИОНА. Зря...

If you're thinking about living outside the city, Cian can help you move in, find a house, a summer house, or a plot of land (https://clck.ru/3U5YHH) Neom is the most expensive project in history. A striped city in the middle of the desert. 170 kilometers long, with mirrored walls and nine million residents. A $1.5 trillion project was raised. It was supposed to be not just a symbol of Saudi Arabia, but a new step for all of humanity. But now construction has stopped. The money is frozen. And Neom will likely never be built. In fact, this is a story not only about a city of the future in the desert, but also about the man who envisioned it. Mohammed bin Salman, an unknown prince who, in just a few days, seized more power than anyone in Saudi Arabia's history. He promised to change the fate of his country. He launched reforms, brought in Cristiano Ronaldo, spent hundreds of billions on sports, and convinced the world that money can buy any future. But it turned out it can't. How did an unknown prince become the most influential person in the region? Why were the country's richest people locked in a five-star hotel? How did the murder of a journalist almost destroy everything? Why did the world's most expensive project turn out to be the biggest failure?
