Rainbow Sheikh

Sheikh Hamad owns Futaisi Island and covers an area of 50 square kilometres. He recently had "HAMAD" carved into the island. The letters are dug so deep they form waterways, and the inscription can be read from space.


He's called the "Rainbow Sheikh" because of his famous Mercedes 500 SEL collection. He has seven of them painted like the colors of the rainbow, one car for each day of the week.
