Complete BS story. He sold it on to the Saudi Royal family a few years back. They have no use for it & it's sitting in storage.
But the guy is keen on as much coverage as possible and is not about to refute any of this hot air.
Similar article in the UK Daily Mail this week here but its complete hogwash; isn't happening.
But it makes for a great story.

4Holer,
i thought there was some kind of legal issue with this one...

so the Kingdom Holding A380 is off the table?

Why not just give that ammount of money to cancer research or hundreds of charities in africa's etc... 
He'd be very limited in his movement with that moster anyway. Utterly useless!

Flaphandlemover, google the Saad group and you will find out why that A340 is subject to legal proceedings.
Under the present Saudi leadership, there is no way that they will spend the money required to retrofit the A380.

Whoever owns it wont mothball it,
All were purchased in a different financial era.

I know of one 748 that went to the desert recently, but that was for installation work, it's now in Europe for an interior. I don't think anyone will ever see a VVIP 380 out there for a long time.
