==Family background and early life==
Yeslam bin Ladin is a Saudi national of [[Persian people|Persia]]n and [[Yemen]]i heritage (through his mother and father, respectively). He has 54 half-brothers and half-sisters, including 2 younger brothers (Ibrahim and Khalil), and a younger sister (Fawziyya), by the same mother as him, [[Rabab Haguigui]]. They used to live in [[Jeddah]], [[Saudi Arabia]]. His father, [[Mohammed bin Laden]], died when he was 17 years old.

He has lived in [[Switzerland]] since the mid-1980s, and became a [[Swiss passport|Swiss citizen]] in April 2001. He speaks [[Arabic language|Arabic]], [[English language|English]], [[French language|French]], and [[Persian language|Persian]]. As of 2020, he speaks [[Turkish language|Turkish]]. He is a [[Sunni Muslim]] and is said to live a mainly [[Western culture|Western]] lifestyle.

He divorced his wife, [[Carmen bin Ladin]], in January 2006, after 15 years of separation. Carmen bin Ladin wrote an autobiography, ''Inside the Kingdom'' ({{ISBN|0-446-69488-6}}), which was a ''[[New York Times]]'' Bestseller, recounting her life in the [[bin Ladin family]] and how she managed to keep her daughters in her custody. He has three daughters, [[Wafah Dufour]], Najia, and Noor, and has reportedly not spoken to them for more than 15 years because of their western customs. Wafah (Dufour) bin Ladin earned a law degree from [[Geneva University]], and a master's degree from [[Columbia Law School]] in New York. In 2006, she appeared in a men's magazine, ''GQ''. She has lived in New York and now resides in London.

After attending high school in [[Beirut]], [[Lebanon]], bin Ladin studied [[economics]] at [[University of Gothenburg]], [[Sweden]], and business administration at [[University of Southern California|USC]]. On February 25, 2005, he was granted permission by the [[Swiss government]] to use the name bin Ladin to brand products for his business including a perfume for men and women dubbed "Yeslam," and a second one for women "Passion," and other goods such as handbags, accessories, and watches under the name "Yeslam." Shops opened in [[Geneva]] (1), in [[Jeddah]] (2), in [[Riyadh]] (1), in [[Mecca]], in [[Dammam]] (1) (Saudi Arabia) and in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).
