The McKinsey NEOM relationship is, at its simplest, a consulting-fee story. McKinsey and Company, the world’s most influential management consulting firm, has earned more than $130 million per year from its engagement with NEOM, according to reporting by DeSmog in October 2024. The engagement has continued since the project’s inception in 2017. Over nine years, the cumulative advisory bill likely exceeds $1 billion, a figure that would make NEOM one of McKinsey’s largest single-client engagements in the firm’s history.
