400 million dollars from Saudi family , Is it assistance or bribe?

I like to share with you this report from LA times , you will be be the judge
"The Saudis last month offered Jordan a coveted opportunity to join a wealthy regional bloc called the Gulf Cooperation Council, a move that would give the impoverished kingdom new investment, jobs and security ties. To sweeten the pot, the Saudis wrote a check for $400 million in aid to Amman two weeks ago, their first assistance in years." Are you kidding me 400 million in aid to Amman or to the Royal court?
