The Manchester City owner\u00a0has amassed a \u00a317 billion fortune, mainly thanks to his booming International Petroleum Investment Company.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Sheikh Mansour has profited from his stake in Manchester City.<\/p>\n

In addition to being a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family, he serves as deputy prime minister of his home country of the United Arab Emirates and as minister of presidential affairs.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The 52-year-old Sheikh owns a sizable portion of the British businessman Richard Branson\u2019s Virgin Galactic spaceflight enterprise, making him good friends with the billionaire.<\/p>\n

And as if that weren\u2019t enough, his Premier League team currently controls English football.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Man City, has received a fortune from Sheikh Mansour.<\/p>\n

However, what does Mansour buy with his money and who is he?<\/p>\n

Allow us to welcome you into his opulent lifestyle, which includes a \u00a3400 million boat he lent to one of the biggest actors in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

His football teams\u2026<\/h3>\n

The thing to do when you\u2019re a billionaire is to invest in sports teams.<\/p>\n

Mansour made sure The Citizens acquired the greatest players in the world when he acquired Man City with his Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008 for \u00a3210 million.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

2008 saw Sheikh Mansour purchase Man City for \u00a3210 million.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

However, the Sheikh is a cunning businessman who doesn\u2019t waste his money easily.<\/p>\n

In reality, he made a $1.4 billion profit on the sale of a part in Barclays he had purchased months earlier, on the same day when City signed Gareth Barry for \u00a312 million from Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

In 2013, Mansour lured David Villa and Frank Lampard to New York City F.C. by launching a second franchise in the Major League Soccer.<\/p>\n

He also increased the number of teams in the United States, Australia, India, Japan, Spain, Uruguay, China, Belgium, and France that he owns shares in through his expansion of the City Football Group.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Frank Lampard was lured to New York City by Sheikh Mansour\u2019s money<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Mansour is chairman of Al Jazira who played against Real Madrid in the World Club Cup<\/p>\n

The yacht\u2026<\/h3>\n

Looking at Mansour\u2019s prized yacht is enough to make your eyes water\u2026 with tears of joy and wonder.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

There are rumours that the \u00a3400 million Topaz super yacht<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an absolute BEAST and the fifth largest super yacht in the world. The 482-foot vessel, known as Topaz, was designed by Tim Heywood and custom-built in Germany by Lurssen Yachts in 2012.<\/p>\n

It features three swimming pools, a gym, a jacuzzi, two helipads, eight stories, and even a movie theater.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Topaz features three swimming pools, a cinema, and two helipads.<\/p>\n

Before Brazil\u2019s 2014 World Cup campaign officially began, Leo DiCaprio was seen throwing a party for twenty-one of his friends on the Topaz.<\/p>\n

The Oscar-winning actor borrowed it from Mansour so he could enjoy the carnival vibes in Sao Paulo with his friends.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not a bad number to have stored in your speed dial, now.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Leo DiCaprio partied on the Topaz during the 2014 World Cup<\/p>\n

It was also once reported that Mansour had to refuel his yacht when he docked at Marmaris port in Turkey.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It was said to have cost him \u00a3380,000 to fill up the 730,000 litre tank, and that took 5 hours!<\/p>\n

His cars\u2026<\/h3>\n

Mansour owns a 5 per cent stake in Ferrari, which he bought in 2005 with the idea of bringing Formula One to the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

In addition to this Enzo, Mansour has a five percent share in Ferrari.<\/p>\n

His \u00a391 million investment paid off, as the top drivers in the world have traveled to Abu Dhabi for the yearly Grand Prix since 2009.<\/p>\n

In addition to Ferrari, Mansour owns 9.1% of Daimler AG, the company that makes Mercedes.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Sheikh is valued \u00a3350,000 for her Mercedes SLR-McLaren.<\/p>\n

He also owns a collection of the most incredible automobiles ever made.<\/p>\n

He owned a Ferrari Enzo (worth \u00a32.5 million), a Lamborghini Reventon (worth \u00a3840k), and a Mercedes SLR-McLaren (worth \u00a3350k) in his collection.<\/p>\n

Mansour, like Floyd Mayweather, possesses five Bugatti Veyrons, the starting price of which is \u00a31.1 million.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Like Floyd Mayweather Sheikh Mansour loves a Bugatti Veyron super car<\/p>\n

To top off his exquisite collection, he has a Porsche 911 GT1, which is worth around \u00a33 million.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

After all, Mr. Mansour is a petrol head\u2026<\/p>\n

You have various rights and benefits as a member of the royal family of Abu Dhabi, including having your own palace.<\/p>\n

The Al Nahyan family, who own a sizable home in the city, includes Sheikh Mansour in their family.<\/p>\n

Private events have been planned there for prominent figures, Barack Obama among them.<\/p>\n

Mansour is said to have purchased a \u00a342 million, 20,000 acre Spanish estate in southwest Spain back in 2016.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

His other interests\u2026<\/h3>\n

But we do know he has two wives and 6 children.<\/p>\n

He first married Sheikha Alia bint Mohammed bin Butti Al Hamed in the mid-1990s. They had one son together.<\/p>\n

Mansour then married Manal bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, his second cousin once removed.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s a powerful woman in her own right, being president of the Dubai Women Establishment.<\/p>\n

She has two daughters and three sons by Mansour.<\/p>\n
