Mohamed Al-Fayed was an Egyptian businessman whose residence and chief business interests were in the United Kingdom from the mid-1960s. His business interests included ownership of the Hôtel Ritz Paris, Harrods department store, and Fulham Football Club (the last two in London). At the time of his death in 2023, Fayed's wealth was estimated at US$2 billion, making him the 1,493th richest person in the world.
Fayed was married to Samira Khashoggi from 1953 to 1956 and had a son, Dodi. Dodi was in a romantic relationship with Diana, Princess of Wales, when they both died in a car crash in Paris in 1997. In 1985, Fayed married the Finnish socialite and former model Heini Wathén, with whom he had four children: Jasmine, Karim, Camilla, and Omar.
