The Sheikh, who is a member of Abu Dhabi’s prestigious Al-Nahyan ruling family, is reported to be worth £20 billion. Since taking over the club in 2008, The Shiekh’s £300 million investment into the club has brought about a number of new player signings resulting in the team’s qualification for this season’s Champions League as well as the win of the FA Cup final last season.
