The ultimate owners of Manchester City are understood to be members of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi, the oil-rich Gulf state. The Al-Nahyan family’s total holdings are said to be worth at least $26 billion (about £14.4 billion) and they have sporting interests that range from horses to motor racing. “Money is no object for these people,” a source close to the deal said. “They are buying the club because they like watching Premiership football.”
The acquisition of City from Thaksin Shinawatra, the billionaire former Prime Minister of Thailand, was led by Dr Sulaiman al-Fahim, one of the best-known businessmen in the Middle East. Al-Fahim has become known as “the Gulf’s Donald Trump” after the success of his real estate company, Hydra Properties. Hydra is building a number of skyscrapers in Dubai and is also involved in the Al Reem project, a man-made island near the city of Abu Dhabi.
