Tarek bin Mohammed bin 'Awad bin Laden[A] (Arabic: طارق بن محمد بن عوض بن لادن; born 1947) is the half-brother of Osama bin Laden, and a member of the Saudi Arabia business community.
He was once called "the personification of the dichotomy (conservatism and change) of Saudi Arabia.
"[1] He started a textile business with Swedish actor Kjell Bergqvist, intending to make use of some of the large state-owned textile mills in Egypt, and then sell the clothing in the West.
The factories in Egypt produced for the Soviet Union and they were poorly designed," Bergqvist recalled.
