Trillion-dollar wealth of new Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan By Graham Hiscott The week football went mad: Astonishing wealth of Man City's new owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Owners want to snatch Ronaldo from Man Utd State rakes in $500m a day if oil rises $1 a barrel Abramovich's wealth will look like chicken feed. This is the trillion-dollar man behind the mega-rich Arabs promising to build a global super-team at Manchester City. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan is the brother of the ruler of Abu Dhabi, the biggest of the United Arab Emirates. Within an estimated family fortune of $1trillion (£555billion) he is set to make the £11.7billion spending power of Chelsea's Russian owner Roman Abramovich look like chicken feed. The club's new owners are set to bankroll a mind-boggling £540million spending spree - including an audacious £135million swoop for Cristiano Ronaldo from arch rivals Manchester United. Oil-rich Middle East business group Abu Dhabi United's spokesman says they will try to snatch the World Player of the Year in January. And we can reveal the staggering wealth of the tycoon behind the group whose sensational developments threaten to turn football on its head. His mega-deep coffers have been boosted by the surge in oil prices - for it is said every time the price of a barrel goes up a dollar, Abu Dhabi makes another $500million a day. The Sheikh has spent £210million buying a 90 per cent stake in Manchester City - fired into action by the intense rivalry Abu Dhabi has with its smaller yet even more successful Emirate neighbour Dubai aku pasti ramai penyokong 'buta' chelsea dan MU akan berhijrah beramai-ramai musim ni ke Man City plak. dari sokong kelab yang ditaja oleh yahudi, baik sokong kelab yang owner Islam, ye tak? tapi bila dengar kekayaan mamat arab ni..fuuuhh..sampai cicit-ciut tak abis. tapi dalam kekayaannya yang bertrillion dollar, kenapa masih ada saudara-saudara Islam yang masih kebulur di negara-negara jiran dorang mcam Palestin, Lubnan dan Sudan... |
