Wet ar-Rashid
Nasser ar-Raschid ( Arabic ناصر بن إبراهيم الرشيد, DMG Nāṣir b. Ibrāhīm ar-Rašīd , also Al-Rashid ; * 1937 ) is a Saudi Arabian businessman.
He is a billionaire and an influential advisor to the Arab royal family . Despite his apparent wealth, he will not appear on the list of the richest people in the world of Forbes Magazine , as his wealth like that of many other Saudis can not be reliably estimated from publicly available sources. He studied civil engineering at the University of Texas at Austin and is a generous sponsor there. The university therefore has the Dr. Nasser Al-Rashid Strength and Training Center named after him.
After graduating, ar-Raschid taught at the King Fahd University in Zahran , Saudi Arabia. In 1975 he founded the company Rashid Engineering in Riyadh , which played a decisive role in the largest construction projects in Saudi Arabia. Within a few years, Rashid Engineering grew to become the largest construction company in the kingdom and in 1980 exceeded the sales mark of 2 billion dollars per year.
Nasser Ar-Raschid married the French-Lebanese jet set member Mouna Ayoub in 1977 , from whom he divorced in 1995. He is currently married to a Belgian-Algerian woman.
In 1990 the German shipyard Blohm + Voss built what was then the largest yacht in the world: the Lady Moura . The manufacturing cost was put at about $ 200 million.
