UAE Vice President and Deputy Prime Minister (Vice President since March 2023, Deputy PM since 2009), Minister of the Presidential Court, and Chairman of Mubadala Investment Company's Board of Directors — placing him at the head of Abu Dhabi's roughly $330 billion sovereign fund in addition to being globally known as owner of Manchester City Football Club (and the broader City Football Group) through the Abu Dhabi United Group, which he founded to acquire the club in August 2008.
