What is Mohammed bin Rashid’s net worth?
CelebrityNetWorth estimates his fortune at $16 billion, a figure that mixes personal property with holdings in state-linked groups.
Sources of wealth
He chairs Dubai’s executive council and has guided the growth of Emirates airline, DP World’s port network and the Dubai Holding conglomerate.
Personal assets include property in Dubai and abroad, a large yacht and a stable of racehorses including Godolphin.
How the fortune was built
He became crown prince of Dubai in 1995, took the ruler’s title in 2006 and oversaw the construction of the Burj Khalifa and the Palm islands.
During the 2009 financial crisis, Dubai’s state-owned companies had to be restructured, with Abu Dhabi providing support, which showed how closely his fortunes track the emirate’s finances.
How we estimate it
We publish the CelebrityNetWorth estimate dated 3 November 2026. Dubai does not separate personal and government holdings in public records.
