Khashoggi was from a powerful and well-known family in Saudi Arabia. He was the grandson of Muhammad Khashoggi, a Turkish doctor who married a Saudi woman and served as the personal physician for King Abdulaziz Al Saud, the founder of the kingdom.
Jamal Khashoggi was the nephew of Adnan Khashoggi, a Saudi businessman and arms dealer known for his part in the Iran-Contra scandal. Adnan Khashoggi was the middleman in the arms-for-hostages deal. In the 1980s, Adnan Khashoggi was estimated to have a net worth of $4 billion.
Jamal Khashoggi's cousin, Dodi Fayed was dating Britain's Princess Diana when the two were killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
