They Own Manchester City. Ferrari. SpaceX. Rihanna's Lingerie Brand. And A $335 Billion Empire.

In 1761, a tribal family called the Al Nahyan settled on the shores of Abu Dhabi. For nearly two centuries, they lived as pearl divers and traders, modest, hardworking, largely unknown to the world. Then in 1958, oil was discovered beneath their desert. Everything changed. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, known as the Father of the Nation, used the oil wealth to build roads, hospitals, schools, universities, and green parks in the middle of a desert. He united the seven emirates and founded the UAE in 1971. He then created ADNOC, one of the world's twelve largest oil producers, and ADIA, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, now managing over $1.1 trillion in assets. The Al Nahyan family didn't stop at oil. They bought Manchester City and turned it into one of the most dominant football teams on earth. They invested in Ferrari, the London Stock Exchange, Elon Musk's SpaceX, Rihanna's Savage X Fenty lingerie brand, big data companies, fast food chains, and tech startups across four continents. Today the Al Nahyan family's estimated net worth stands at $335 billion, the most valuable royal family in the world.
