Mohammed bin Issa Al Jaber<\/a> is a Saudi businessman and investor of Yemeni origin, leading the MBI Group, which generates an annual revenue of approximately $11.5 billion.<\/p>\n

His cousin, Salman Farhan Al Jaber, oversees the group\u2019s operations in the Middle East. The company’s assets exceed $15 billion, with a workforce of nearly 9,000 employees.<\/p>\n

Born in Hodeidah, Yemen, in 1959, Al Jaber spent his early years in humble conditions, living in straw and mud huts, which fueled his ambition to build a better future.<\/p>\n

He migrated to Saudi Arabia in the 1970s, where he started as a truck driver at an ice factory in Khobar before moving on to work in a small construction company.<\/p>\n

A pivotal moment in his life was his partnership with Prince Turki bin Nasser, the son-in-law of Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz, which allowed him to obtain Saudi citizenship and elevate his career.<\/p>\n

Despite being illiterate in his early years, Al Jaber fearlessly entered the business world. With no formal schooling due to his difficult circumstances, he only learned to read and write after amassing his fortune.<\/p>\n

His passion for classical Arabic poetry led him to pursue studies in foreign universities, where he focused on the history of civilizations, cultures, and the Middle East.<\/p>\n
