Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Net Worth

Net Worth Watch estimates the fortune at $7.5 billion in November 2026. Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair turned a family trading business into a banking and industrial group. He has also served as speaker of the UAE’s Federal National Council.

Most of the total sits in assets that are not priced daily, so the figure is a considered estimate rather than a bank balance. The profile below sets out each component and how firm it is.

The fortune divides into three main parts: mashreq bank and the al ghurair group.

• Mashreq Bank Emirati lender founded in 1967 and still partly family owned.
• Al Ghurair Group Foods, packaging, steel and property businesses.
• Real estate Commercial property in Dubai and the wider Emirates.

Mashreq was founded in 1967 and grew into one of the country’s largest banks. The group’s other arms cover foods, packaging, property and a steel business, giving the family exposure to most of Dubai’s growth sectors.

Al Ghurair has chaired Mashreq for decades and has signed the Giving Pledge, committing a large share of his fortune to philanthropy. Family holdings remain private, so the estimate is based on the bank’s market value plus the industrial group.

The estimate combines a listed bank stake, valued at market prices, with a private industrial group that has to be compared to peers.

We start from the best available record of what the person owns: company filings, stock exchange positions, property registers, investigative reporting and, for historical figures, reconstructions of the assets they controlled. Where a holding is private we compare it with listed peers, and where the record is thin we say so in the profile.

Figures are shown in US dollars and reviewed on the date at the top of the page. A net worth is not the same as annual income, and it can move sharply when markets or currencies move.
