    Checked more than one outlet (apparently AI-written) and came up with that conservative list.

    I am also surprised there is no official website I can find.

    Corrected and expanded now, based on the feedback and what seem to be Saudi websites in English.

      I appreciate the correction, but there were two names on that list that were mentioned in the article you linked as having turned down the money. 🤣

          TLDR: Who gives a shit?

          A. Is it really necessary to split hairs like this here? You come across as just looking for a pointless, pedantic argument.

          Obscure characterization of someone else’s motivation != anything useful. (Am I doing this right?)

          B. He fixed his list so it doesn’t matter. And if you did see his original list, then you could just RTFA they linked and figure it out.

          Being able to say something != Something should be said.

          (Yup it looks just as pretentious when I do it.)
