The Nahyan royal family, based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has garnered global attention for its immense wealth and opulent lifestyle, with a net worth surpassing that of prominent figures like Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who serves as the President of the UAE and ruler of Abu Dhabi, leads the first family. However, the Jerusalem Post reported that the family’s influence extends across business, politics, and luxury living.
Composed of Sheikh Mohammed, 18 brothers, 11 sisters, nine children, and 18 grandchildren, the Nahyan family resides together in the lavish “Qasr Al-Watan,” an expansive palace valued at a staggering $478 million, covering an area of 380,000 square meters.
Their real estate portfolio boasts luxurious properties and developments both locally and internationally, reflecting their immense wealth and influence.

In addition to their grand residence, the family’s assets include a fleet of eight aircraft, featuring prestigious models like the Airbus A320-200 and three Boeing 787-9. Notably, Sheikh Mohammed’s personal collection comprises a Boeing 747 valued at $478 million and a Boeing 787 worth $176 million. This emphasizes the family’s penchant for luxury and extravagance in their possessions.
Furthermore, the Nahyan family’s affinity for maritime leisure is evident in their ownership of three of the world’s largest yachts, symbolizing their status and penchant for luxury living. However, perhaps most striking is their extensive car collection, which reportedly exceeds 700 vehicles, spanning from Ferraris to Lamborghinis, displayed across four museums in the UAE and Morocco, showcasing their affinity for high-end automobiles.
Beyond their personal acquisitions, the Nahyan family holds substantial investments, including an 81 percent stake in the City Football Group. This ownership grants them control over renowned football clubs like Manchester City, Mumbai City, Melbourne City, and New York City, solidifying their influence in both the sporting and business realms on a global scale
