He is the chief rich man of Dubai. Personal assets of up to 80 billion yuan, private jets, super sports cars countless, ordinary people struggle to buy a license plate of his life, even the pocket money given to children is tens of millions.
He is the "savior" of the people of Dubai. Single-handedly transformed Dubai from a small desert fishing village into a rich international metropolis, making Dubai synonymous with "luxury" in the hearts of the world. At the same time, he is also the "most evil devil" in the mouth of his daughter, imprisoning his wife and forbidding his daughter, using every extreme desire to control, and how can he not retain the heart of his wife and daughter who longs for equal power.
How exactly did he lead Dubai step by step to prosperity? How many little-known things are hidden under his glamorous exterior?
Today, let's take a look at the current Sheikh of Dubai, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Born on 15 July 1949 in the Royal Family of Dubai, Mohammed was not as rich as it is today, but he also earned money from "liquid gold". Therefore, up to now, Muhammad is the kind of person who people say that they can't study well and have to go home to inherit tens of millions of family property.
In addition to being particularly capable of reincarnation, he also has extraordinary abilities. After the death of the Dubai sheikh in 2006, Muhammad took over the king's scepter as the new sheikh, and after coming to power, Muhammad found that the oil would soon run out, so he developed a very different strategy for Dubai, transforming Dubai into an international city that annexed tourism, finance and trade.
In order to build Dubai into an international metropolis in the shortest possible time, Mohammed chose the most "simple and violent" way - throwing money.
And if you want to smash it, you have to smash the world's best, after all, no one will remember the second place.
So under his leadership Dubai built twenty-three of the world's best. For example, the world's tallest tower, the Burj Khalifa, is 828 meters high and cost 1 billion euros to build; the world's largest artificial island, Palm Jumeirah, its size and size are difficult to express in numbers, and an astronaut once said that the only man-made object he photographed in space was this artificial island, although it has not been confirmed, but it is enough to see how big the $14 billion artificial island is.
Under the leadership of Mohammed, Dubai has developed as fast as a rocket booster, and the people of Dubai have ushered in a good life. The Dubai government provides a lot of high-paying, effortless work for locals, basically every Dubai native, within the institutional guarantee provided by the government, reading and seeing a doctor for free, not to mention, you get married The government will also send a villa as a gift.
The national treatment was so good, Muhammad as king naturally did not treat himself badly, if the world's most capable person who can spend money is anyone, then he must be one of the favorable competitors.
When it comes to Dubai, what may come to many people's minds is that under the sunset, the fresh and beautiful Burj Al Arab Hotel, there are countless luxury cars parked on the streets.
Dubai's rapid development has also accumulated a lot of wealth for Sheikh Mohammed. It is estimated that Mohammed's personal assets amount to at least £7 billion, and the assets of the entire Dubai royal family could amount to hundreds of billions of dollars. And the Dubai royal family is also good at using various investments to increase the value of their assets. Mohammed personally has two companies under his name, Dubai Holdings and Dubai World, through which he controls the entire economic lifeblood of Dubai. And even the world-famous seven-star hotel in the Uae, the Burj Al Arab, is the only seven-star hotel in the world, which is controlled by Muhammad.
Muhammad was not only very good at making money, he spent money beyond the imagination of ordinary people. After all, he used the "trench" to make the world remember the men of Dubai.
Because he likes to raise horses and race horses, Muhammad spent $3 billion to build the world's most luxurious racecourse, the Maidan Racecourse, and held the world's most exclusive equestrian competition here, with an annual prize money of up to $32 million. In addition, he did not hesitate to spend money to buy a horse, some time ago he spent more than 30 million yuan to buy a high-class horse, and afterwards he sighed very versailly: This horse is really cheap.
In addition to liking horses, Muhammad, like many men, likes cars very much, and the top luxury cars in his garden are various, such as Maybach, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, etc., as long as you can think of luxury cars, he has them all, and they are all top-of-the-line or limited editions. There are as many luxury cars parked in his home as we usually see on the street.
One of his favorites and most highly photographed is the three-million-dollar Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG. Although the car seems ordinary, the license plate price of this car is close to 100 million. And in order to park his car, he spent 20 million pounds to build an 8-storey parking building in the UK. Sure enough, the happiness of rich people is not something we can imagine.
For such a man who wants power and power, money and money, women should be eager for him.
In fact, it is also true that Muhammad has 6 wives in the household registration book alone, and the lovers without names are all over the world, and there are countless illegitimate children, and there are more than 30 names.
Supposedly, with the wealth of a nation, coupled with herds of wives and concubines and descendants, Muhammad's later life should have been full of family fun. However, an incident that happened in 2019 left him in a national disgrace.
That is, her wife ran away with her two children.
According to media reports, Mohammed's most beloved wife, Princess Haya, escaped from the Dubai royal family with £260 million and her two children, and eventually settled in a villa in the United Kingdom. He also hired a British royal lawyer to take the chief to court, mercilessly exposing the true face of Muhammad's imprisonment of his daughter's addiction.
It turned out that the fundamental reason why Haya ran away with her children was that Muhammad wanted to marry his 11-year-old daughter to Saudi Crown Prince Salman, 34.
And this Salman was once called "the most ruthless crown prince". In order to ascend to the throne, he threw his sisters into dungeons and even put his own birth mother under house arrest, and Muhammad's move was tantamount to pushing his daughter into the fire pit.
However, long before Princess Haya fled, there were children of the Royal Family of Dubai who fled. In 2018, another daughter of Muhammad, Ratifa, also tried to escape, but failed. But before escaping, Ratifa videotaped the atrocities of his father, Muhammad, who abused himself and other princesses. In the video, her face is pale and her eyes are hollow, and it is difficult to imagine that this is a child of the Dubai royal family.
After exposing the behavior of imprisoning his wife and daughter, Muhammad also became the target of criticism by major media.
It is undeniable that Mohammed has indeed made a great contribution to the development of Dubai, and the people of Dubai should be grateful to him for this. But Muhammad was not a good father, a good husband, and he used the power in his hands to manipulate the lives of his wives and daughters, which was undoubtedly a devastating blow to his wives and daughters.
