Mohamed bin Issa Al Jaber (Arabic: محمد بن عيسى الجابر, romanized: Muḥammad bin ʿĪssā al-Ǧābir, born in 1959 (in Jeddah) is an Arab billionaire businessman.[1][2]

Business

In 1982, Al Jaber founded Jadawel International Construction & Development.[3] He is founder, chairman and CEO of the MBI Group.[4][5] He owns 80% of the Group.[6] The MBI Group activities include various entities including the following companies:

Al Jaber is a shareholder of AJWA Group for Food Industries, a food processing company[9]

Al Jaber was listed as a billionaire in March 2013 by Forbes[1] and in May 2014 featured in The Sunday Times Rich List at number 13, the highest entry for an Arab.[10] Arabian Business's 2013 rich list 'The world's richest Arabs' puts Al Jaber at number 2 with $12.66bn.[2] Bloomberg Billionaires reported his net worth as $7.19BN as of August 2018 [11] and Forbes Austria at $7BN in December 2023.[12]

Portugal

In September 2003, Al Jaber took over the management of Quinta Vale Da Gondra Hotel e SPA (Unipessoal) Lda.[13] In January 2008, Portuguese press revealed that Al Jaber is expanding his business in the Algarve and investing about €200 million to buy the Hotel Dona Filipa in Vale do Lobo, the golf course San Lourenzo in Quinta do Lago, the Hotel Penina and its 3 golf courses from Starman (a joint venture between the Lehman Brothers bank and Starwood Capital Group). Other assets in the regions are the Pinheiros Altos Golf Resort and the Formosa Hotel.[14][15][16][17] In 2013 JJW Hotels and Resorts took over the management of the Penina Hotel and Golf Resort, and also announced plans for a major refurbishment of the Dona Filipa.[18] Mohsen MBI Al Jaber, son of Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber, has held the role of Vice President of the Portugal sector of the MBI Group since October 2015.[19]

Austria

In 2002, Al Jaber acquired the famous Grand Hotel, Vienna from the Japanese airline All Nippon Airways.[20] He later acquired the premises of a former bank on Kärntner Ring and converted the building to the boutique Ring Hotel.[21] In October 2006, he bought the Palais Corso, Vienna's premier luxury shopping and office complex from Generali Versicherung, for about €70 million.[22] In 2007, JJW purchased the Palace Schwarzenberg Hotel in Vienna and unsuccessfully sought to expand the hotel.[23]

In 2007, Al Jaber agreed to invest 10% in the building of the Vienna Tourism University (Modul University Vienna), and provided scholarships for students there.[24]

In the beginning of 2008, Al Jaber sought to purchase a 20% stake in the financially troubled Austrian Airlines. However, he withdrew his offer in May 2008 after the company published its negative quarterly results, based on the grounds that the company intentionally withheld the actual level of trouble faced.[25] Auditor Herbert Heiser, who was called by the court to consult in the legal dispute between AUA and Al Jaber, agreed with Al Jaber's conclusions. He states in his report that rather than its officially declared profit of €3.3 million, the AUA should have revealed a hefty loss – of around €235 million.[26] In 2023, Al Jaber won the legal dispute with Austrian Airlines. Vienna Commercial Court ruled that he was entitled to withdraw from an investment contract concluded in April 2008 due to clear misconduct on the part of Austrian Airlines. Al Jaber announced that he will file a lawsuit against AUA to compensate for business and reputational damage.[27]

In July 2008, Al Jaber took a 60% stake in Kneissl Holding GmbH, an Austrian manufacturer of sports equipment, and in 2015 the JJW Group acquired 100% of the company.[28]

In May 2011, Al Jaber said that he was defamed by Austrian Media after it implied financial difficulties in some of the companies that Al Jaber had invested in. He accused the newspapers of reporting a one-sided version of events.[29][30]

In October 2020, Al Jaber and Robert Zadrazil, CEO of Bank Austria UniCredit, reached an amicable end to a legal dispute that had existed since 2012 following constructive discussions between the parties. As part of the resolution, the two business leaders have committed to work together in an attempt to strengthen the Austrian economy.[31]

London

In 2007, Al Jaber expanded the portfolio of the Guernsey-based JJW Hotels & Resorts group by acquiring The Eton Collection hotels for a reported £70 million.[32]

France

The Group opened their first office in France in 1991.[33] The hotel empire of Al Jaber was initially started in France in 1988 and expanded to over 35 hotel properties in France and almost 80 in Europe.[34] In October 2008, it was announced that the Group planned to acquire a number of hotels in France from the Starwood Capital Group for $2billion but the deal was not concluded.[35]

Personal life
