1 - When they oil in the middle east eventually runs out (and it will)
2 - The middle class and poor of the country will rise up and demand that the rich pay more in taxes to support the level of services they have become accustomed to which have to that point been paid for with oil revenue.
3 - The rich will then flee in mass and take their money with them.
4 - The economy will crumble and the infrastructure that maintains these cities will deteriorate.
5 - civil/religious wars will break out and these shinning cities will crumble back into the desert or be destroyed in the ensuing carnage.
6 - 10’s of millions will die in the ensuing chaos.
7 - some future telethon will encourage our children to give to the poor and needy of Saudi Arabia.
