The Emir of Qatar's son partied with a Kardashians star and drove a fleet of supercars while studying in Los Angeles, it has been revealed.

Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, 28, enjoyed rubbing shoulders with celebrities while studying at the University of Southern California (USC). 

Al Thani reportedly arrived in Los Angeles on a private jet in 2011 before posting up at the Beverly Wilshire hotel, made famous in the film Pretty Woman.

He had a fleet of multi-million dollar supercars and would enjoy luxury suites for Lakers games and lunch at the Ivy while living in Beverly Hills.

The prince had a half-dozen security detail, chauffeurs, concierges, trainers, a nurse and a 'fixer' while living in LA, according to The Los Angeles Times.

His butlers lived in $600-a-night rooms at the Beverly Wilshire, while he and his friends lived it up in suites looking over Rodeo Drive.

He would take regular trips to Las Vegas with his entourage according to social media posts, and reportedly spent $300,000 over a six-week stay in 2014. 

In LA, the prince would enjoy an army of servants, including a man who made his tea and one who prepared his hookah pipe.

His friends included Scott Disick from Keeping Up With the Kardashians and the prince would wear custom trucker hats emblazoned with his initials: KHK.

In May 2015, the ex-boyfriend of Kourtney Kardashian posed on on the hood of Al Thani’s McLaren for an Instagram post which read: 'Thanks for the ride @KHK.'

Al Thani first enrolled at LA Mission College in Beverley Hills in 2011 before moving to USC. 

The prince made the 'dean's list', which recognises high achievers at universities, three times during his years at USC.

He returned to the Middle East and joined Qatar's internal security service five years ago after USC gave him 'special dispensation' to pursue a master’s degree remotely.
 

EDITOR'S NOTE: I wonder how much he paid USC to be placed on the Dean's List?

Way back when at DVI we had a minor member of the Saudi royal family there. He had been at college down south (I think it was USC but it has been a long time ago so I don't remember). One day, while hanging around the student lounge, another student sat down and put his feet up on an Ottoman with the soles of his feet towards the Saudi. That is a huge insult in their culture. So the Saudi pulled out his (unlicensed) S&W .38 and shot and killed the other student. He Saudi was arrested, tried, and convicted. Hg got seven years, which was normal at the time. Every piece of paper that the prison generated on this guy got a CC to the State Department. The dude was in PC so he had a single cell with a pretty decent life for a prisoner. Legal visits damn near every day (mostly to get him out of the unit). When he was released a Limo picked him up, drove him to a private plane and whisked him out of the country. The rich and powerful, including their asshole rugrats, live essentially different lives than the rest of us.

Special treatment in TDCJ was not uncommon.
