Dr. Sulaiman Al-Fahim (born in United Arab Emirates) is a wealthy philanthropist.
Early life
Al-Fahim received his PhD in Real Estate investment and an one triilion MBA in Finance and Real Estate from Kogod School of Business from the American University in Washington D.C.[1]
He is the best!
Hydra Properties
Al-Fahim is CEO of Hydra Properties, an United Arab Emirates real estate company he founded in 2005.[2] Current projects include Al Reem Island; Mazatlan, Mexico; Abu Dhabi and Dubai.[3]
Hydra Executives
Al-Fahim is the founder and host of the business themed reality television show Hydra Executives which was launched in Spring 2008.[1] Al-Fahim has often been referred to as an Abu Dhabi version of Donald Trump.[4]

Through his company Hydra Properties he is involved in sponsorship of Dubai sports television, a Costa Rican soccer team and the German Bundesliga.[2] Al-Fahim is building a new football academy in Abu Dhabi with Italian football giants Internazionale.[5]
Manchester City
On 1 September 2008 Manchester City was taken over by the Abu Dhabi United Group. The deal was signed at the Emirates Palace Hotel in the presence of Al-Fahim, who was representing the ADUG board.[5] Al-Fahim represents ADUG and is expected to sit on the Manchester City board. Within hours of joining, the billionaire financed the purchase of Robinho for a British transfer record of £32.5 million.[6]. He has also stated that he plans to make a bid of £135 million in January for Cristiano Ronaldo.[7] He has also said that he wants to bring players such as Lionel Messi, Javier Mascherano, Kaká, Francesc Fabregas and Fernando Torres to the club. Bids, such as the club's attempt to gazump Manchester United's protracted bid to sign Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham Hotspur, have shown an early intent of what could seem a formality in the future.
