Sheikh Maktoum bin Hasher Al Maktoum (1977- )

[desertrosemrk]

Just a quick question - what year was he born on? He seems to be of different age in just about every article

I couldn't see the races but I noticed from photos there was Sheikh Hamdan bin Mo giving out the trophies. Gotta not to like the ME press because at least I can't find much stuff on the race, just a couple of pics and that's pretty much it

I believe he is 28 at least that is what everything that I have read says. If you want infomation on the race try their web site here: www.a1gp.com

Yeah, that's kinda the point. All interviews say he's 28 but these interviews have been done years apart. So I'm confused

Here's an unposted article from 2004:

And here's a video from earlier this year:

Has anyone found any photos from the World CEO Forum that was held in Dubai and in which Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum al Maktoum (he wouldn't have a nickname by any chance? ) was one of the speakers?

Maktoum bin Hasher article

Sheikh worth $6b doesn't seem to splash it about
12.11.05
By Michele Hewitson

Outside the hotel room of "the richest man you'll ever meet", as somebody said of His Highness Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum al Maktoum before we went to see him, is a bodyguard. But His Highness opens the door to his hotel suite himself. He is, apologetically, talking on his hands-free cellphone, but he gestures that we should, please, sit down. He has lovely manners.

Has anyone seen the documentary 'Middle East's Richest People' on Discovery Channel - it has Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum as one of the four rich Arabs they interview?

No (gosh darn it) but I want to. Have you seen it yourself? Also, do you know who else is featured on it?

I wish I had! I've been looking for it everywhere but I can't find it.

The other people featured on it are Sheikh Hamad Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi (car collector), Mohammed Ben Sulayem from Dubai (ex rally driver) and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Issa Al Jaber of Saudi Arabia.

I missed it. I wonder if they will replay it? How long ago was it shown?

As far as I know it was last shown on June 18th but it has been aired before that, too. It's part of a series about rich people in Europe (guess this was a Middle East special then!) but I cannot find any information about the series anywhere either.

I contacted the discovery channel and asked them when it would be shown again. They told me that this show never aired and they have no record of it. that is so crazy because Ameinfo.com has two articles about the show. It also says that it was shown on June 12th and June 18th.
Just out of curiosity- are you in the US? They said that it could have been shown outside of the US.
Also, was it on the actual discovery channel or one of their sister programs like the Travel Channel, etc?
Anyway, it's a shame that they don't have info about it. would have liked to seen american television finally showing the middle east in a positive light.

I'm not in the US - I would think since the program focuses on Europeans it could be that it has only aired in Europe (and apparently the Middle East then too?). I know it has been shown in Poland, UK and Sweden, for example.

I'm pretty sure it aired on Discovery Channel and not one of their sister channels.

I was thinking about ordering Discovery Channel just for a month to see it but I cannot find any information whether they are going to broadcast it again. Maybe I should email them and ask

Maktoum sells stake in A1 GP

London: A1 Grand Prix founder and chairman Shaikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum of Dubai is selling his stake in the self-styled 'World Cup of Motorsport', organisers announced yesterday...

http://www.gulfnews.com/sport/Motor_Racing/10071168.html

 

[KatieLouise]

He's selling his share in it after only one year? After all that money and time and promotion... it seems like a bit of a waste.
