Keeping a bucket list is an effective way to be sure you have fun and fulfilling experiences like skydiving and traveling internationally — but you might benefit from making your list a bit shorter.⁠ ⁠ That's according to Arthur C.

Saudi football clubs spent more than a billion dollars on new players in the summer of 2023, snapping up superstars from across Europe's top leagues, while the Public Investment Fund, its sovereign wealth fund, has also taken control of English Premier League club Newcastle United. The PIF, with estimated assets of around $700 billion, has also flexed its financial muscle in golf, tennis, boxing and motorsport, to name a few, along with a slew of music and entertainment ventures. These investments are all part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 program, an ambitious plan to diversify the country's economy away from its traditional reliance on oil and gas exports.
