Noor Bin Ladin has been in the headlines recently for protesting the Biden-Putin meeting at the Geneva Summit.

She was filmed waving a flag from a boat on Lake Geneva that read "Trump Won."

She's known as being the niece of Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, but she couldn't be any more different to her uncle, who's described as the black sheep of the family.

Osama Bin Laden was executed by US Navy SEALs in Pakistan shortly after the attacks. Noor was 12 at the time of the September 11 bombings, which she was devastated by, and denounced her uncle after that.

Here are a few things we know about Noor Bin Laden.

What nationality is Noor bin Ladin?

Noor is a Swiss national, but told the New York Post she's "an American at heart." Before the 9/11 attacks, Noor and her mother, Carmen, would visit the US regularly.

Bin Laden family

The Bin Laden family is considered one of Saudi Arabia's most powerful business families, according to Reuters.

The Bin Laden family has close ties to the Saudi royal family and they're famous for building most of the roads, Mosques and palaces in Saudi Arabia.

Noor is the daughter of Osama Bin Laden's older half-brother, Yeslam Bin Ladin, and Swiss author Carmen Dufour.

Yeslam and Osama have the same father, Mohammed Bin Laden, a wealthy property magnate who had more than 50 children.

Yeslam and Carmen divorced in 1988 and Noor and her sisters were raised by their mother in Switzerland.

After the divorce, Carmen wrote the book Inside the Kingdom: My Life In Saudi Arabia.

Noor's side of the family spell their last name with an '-in' rather than an '-en'.

Noor bin Ladin's support for Donald Trump

Speaking to the New York Post in the lead up to the US elections in 2020, Noor said the only person who could prevent another 9/11 attack is Donald Trump. This was the first ever interview Noor did with the media.

"ISIS proliferated under the Obama/Biden administration, leading to them coming to Europe," she said. "Trump has shown he protects America and us by extension from foreign threats by obliterating terrorists at the root and before they get a chance to strike."

"I have been a supporter of President Trump since he announced he was running in the early days in 2015," she continued. "I have watched from afar and I admire this man's resolve."

"He must be re-elected ... It's vital for the future of not only America, but Western civilisation as a whole.

"You look at all the terrorist attacks that have happened in Europe over the past 19 years. They have completely shaken us to the core ... [Radical Islam] has completely infiltrated our society.

"In the US it's very worrying that the left has aligned itself completely with the people who share that ideology."

Noor bin Ladin net worth

It's not clear what Noor's net worth is as an individual, but in 2019, The Sun reported the bin Laden family's net worth to be $7 billion.

In 2006, during her divorce from Yeslam bin Ladin, Carmen revealed he had more than $100 million in assets, according to the Wall Street Journal. We're not sure how much money was awarded to Carmen and their daughters after the split.

Considering Noor is so well-educated, with a bachelor's degree in business administration, a master's in commercial law, and a computer coding bootcamp under her belt, according to the New York Post, she can't be doing too badly.

Noor has been working in startups and is currently writing a book analysing the first 20 years of the 21st century.

Noor also has a podcast "coming soon" according to her website.
