Sulaiman Abdul-Karim Mohammed Al-Fahim (born 1976 or 1977) is an Emirati television personality and self described billionaire businessman in the UAE real estate sector. He was involved in the deal in which the Abu Dhabi royal family obtained Manchester City F.C. In 2008, he was convicted and sentenced to five years in jail by a UAE court for stealing £5 million.
Early life and education
Al-Fahim was born in Dubai in 1977. He obtained his master's degree in Finance and Real Estate from the American University in Washington, D.C. He has claimed that he has a PhD in Real Estate from American University, but there is no record of him earning a PhD from the school and the school does not offer a PhD in real estate.

Career
Al-Fahim heads the real estate company Hydra Properties, which is owned by the Royal Group, an investment conglomerate headed by Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the royal family in Abu Dhabi.

Manchester City F.C.

He looked at various clubs on behalf of the Abu Dhabi royal family and suggested that they buy Manchester City. Al-Fahim signed the first agreement (Memorandum of Understanding) with the legal representative of the former Prime Minister of Thailand, Thaksin Shinawatra, who owned Manchester City. Al-Fahim then presented the offer to the Abu Dhabi United Group where Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan took the final agreement forward and took over Manchester City.
