Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar, is a football fan who doesn't just stay at the level of watching, but also participates in operations.
After leading Qatar to the 2022 World Cup, the 42-year-old Emile has set his sights on the Premier League, where his investment group is poised to buy Manchester United Football Club.
Despite the many people competing with him, even Elon Musk, who has been complained of being stingy by Twitter employees, wants to join, and there are rumours that he is interested in bidding £4.5 billion to inject his capital into football for the first time. Britain's richest man, Ratcliffe, was also one of the participants, with his offer for £4 billion.
But according to the "Sun" local time on February 15, Qatar's emir may have the last laugh, although he is now submitting an offer of 4 billion pounds.
In the eyes of British newspapers, the "behind-the-scenes owner" of Paris Saint-Germain is too rich, and buying a football club is as easy as some rich people buying a big bag, not to mention that he is also full of feelings for Britain.
Tamim studied at Sherborne School and Harrow College in Dorset, England, and eventually graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (both studied here) at Sandhurst (both of whom William Harry studied), known as one of the "four military schools in the world".
It can be said that he spent his teenage years in England, and it is natural that he has a love for this place. Some analysts say that if he did not need to return to Qatar to be the emir, Tamim might have lived in the UK for the rest of his life.
It is said that Tamim was not born as a crown prince, and if his brother Jassim had not given up the right to inherit the throne, I am afraid that he would not have had his turn. And from the day Jassim gave up, he was entrusted with a heavy task.
Tamim has several mansions in the UK, including one in London's Park Lane and worth £200 million. In the mansion, which he spent six years renovating, he hosted Elizabeth II, and the queen is said to have told Tamim at the time: "This place makes Buckingham Palace very dull to open".
According to the report, Tamim himself is not particularly rich, "only" 1.6 billion pounds, but his family wealth has reached a staggering 276 billion pounds (about 2,277.2 billion RMB), and the investment in the UK alone is as high as 40 billion pounds, and as the head of the family, Tamim can obviously be very arrogant.
Like many wealthy people, Tamim loves luxury transportation and owns several private jets, one of which is called the "Flying Palace" (pictured in the bedroom on the plane).
A £400 million superyacht is also a must-have, with beauty salons, private cinemas and guest lifts.
Needless to say, the luxury team has a limited edition Ferrari worth 888,000 pounds (about 7.33 million RMB), which is very impressive. It is reported that there are only 499 units of this car worldwide.
Although Tamim is described as "friendly, confident and open," he does not consider himself suitable for "monogamy" and currently has three wives.
The first wife was Sheikha Jawaher Bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani, with whom Tamim was originally related.
The 38-year-old often accompanies her husband to important occasions, such as when she went to London for funerals with her husband after the death of Elizabeth II last year, while her two "sisters" did not appear.
The second wife, Anud, the daughter of a former Qatari ambassador to Jordan, is less visible but is also believed to be involved in the work of the family consortium. Anoud once attracted attention for receiving a 100 million euro (about 730 million RMB) mansion (in Istanbul) that her husband gave her.
The third wife, Nora, is not known to the outside world for more detailed information, only that she has given birth to 4 children.
From 2006 to 2020, Tamim had 13 children, 7 sons and 6 daughters, Jawar gave birth to four children and Anud gave birth to five.
Tamim once took his beloved son to France to meet French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace.
