Basically the threshold before Saudi Arabia sees actual, country-affecting sanctions.
The dude would just send his goons on a private plane to the US. They hunt down his ex wife murder her and they are on the plane back to Saudi Arabia.
Not that easy. The Saudi royal family can only operate with that impunity because they are the Saudi royal family. For a simple rich Saudi guy, they first need to find out exactly where she is living, execute the murder without being captured, high tail it back to Saudi Arabia and hope the royal family don't turn them all over (rich guy included) to the USA for extradition under the threat of invasion.
They don't have the protection of being royal family and the case is already all over the news. The husband would be the prime suspect in any context killing and would be extradited in a heartbeat.
