Despite his estimated fortune of $7.7bn, the MIDROC and Corral Petroleum Holding owner’s power is waning, with his business empire under threat in Saudi Arabia as well as Ethiopia and Egypt where much of his company’s efforts are concentrated. With a portfolio of businesses and investments in construction, energy, agriculture, mining, hotels, healthcare and manufacturing, Al Amoudi is still a big player on many fronts, but the question is: for how much longer?
