One of the most successful Arab businessmen, Mohamed Al Jaber has in fact made a name for himself by avoiding the speculative stock market of the Arab world.
So far, the MBI International boss has made accurate predictions: when he speaks, people listen. The MBI International group of companies today holds an asset value of over $8bn and boasts operations in Europe, the Middle East and the US. It includes real estate giant Jadawel International, JJW Hotels & Resorts, and the AJWA Group, one of the largest food companies in the Middle East.
It also incorporates Continentoil, an international oilfield services and petroleum resource management company with offices in the US and UK. Both Jadawel and Ajwa remain profitable companies, but Al Jaber's interests seem to be gravitating more towards his hotel portfolio, which he expanded significantly in 2008, snapping up resorts in Portugal and unveiling plans for an ambitious string of projects in Austria, France and the UK.
When he's not charging from foyer to foyer, Al Jaber is also well known for his philanthropy. He is the founding sponsor of London's Middle East Institute and endower of a chair at the London-based School of African and Oriental Studies.
