Khalifa Bin Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan | Rabdan
Just like the emir of Abu Dhabi and the de facto head of the United Arab Emirates, Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan gets to enjoy some perks and responsibilities, too. He is the current chairman of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, the capital’s sovereign wealth fund with $875 billion in its arsenal. While he has scaled back in his duties to the state starting 2014, he retained the ceremonial powers due to being the country’s president.
With some of the time freed up, President Khalifa could now enjoy commandeering his yacht, Rabdan. It was built in Australia by SilverYachts and received by the new owner in 2007. The exterior is Espen Oeino’s work, while Khalifa Bin Zayed left the interior design to the capable designers of Silvestrin Design. The yacht boasts 2 MTU diesel engines and is capable of up to 27 knots. It also has a range of 5,182 nautical miles, and it is capable of storing 30,000 liters of freshwater—making it capable of long-range travel.
