Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani: The man who bought London
The capital already has its fair share of billionaires - but none richer than the new arrival from Qatar
A few years ago, the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, is reputed to have quipped
that while he was running the country, it was his Prime Minister,
Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani, who owned it.
Boris Johnson could easily say the same thing about Sheikh Jassim with regard to London,
where the 53-year-old Anglophile plutocrat, who owns some of the capital's most prestigious
addresses, is soon expected to take up more or less permanent residence.
In his position as the head of the Qatar Investment Authority - the sheikh is also foreign minister
for the moment - he has overseen the investment of billions of dollars of the sand-blasted
emirate's cash, generated by its enormous energy reserves.
Everywhere you look, the Qataris are there, with investments in 30 countries. In this country alone,
they have big stakes in some of the London Stock Exchange's aristocracy
including Sainsbury's, Barclays, Shell and the Stock Exchange itself.......
