Jared gave Crown Prince Salman intel on his opponents within the royal family (who he promptly jailed/bankrupted/tortured to death). That alone was easily worth $1.2 Billion to Salman, since he claims his shakedown of those folks netted $100 Billion. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-saudi-arrests-attorneygeneral/saudi-government-says-its-seizing-over-100-billion-in-corruption-purge-idUSKBN1FJ1P7

And for a cherry on top, Jared engineered the sudden and inexplicable US harsh rebuke of Saudi opponent Qatar, even though Qatar allows us to have a crucial base in Qatar after the Saudis kicked our troops out of Saudi Arabia (thus acquiescing to one of Osama Bin Ladin's key demands).
