There is very little infotrmation on Bin Laden's early life - even the documents seized in the raid have never been made public, but it is logical to believe that it was family money he used, which came from the fortune amassed from building.
One of my regular customers in London owned McAlpine's - never seen a shovel in his life and certainly never been on a building site and he employed representatives to attend company meetings but he worked for a building company - or so he claimed.
