Mohamed Abdel Moneim Al-Fayed[a] (/ælˈfaɪ.ɛd/; 27 January 1929 – 30 August 2023) was an Egyptian billionaire businessman whose residence and primary business interests were in the United Kingdom from the mid-1960s. His business interests included ownership of the Hôtel Ritz Paris, Harrods department store and Fulham Football Club. At the time of his death in 2023, Forbes estimated his wealth at US$2 billion.[1]
Fayed was married to Samira Khashoggi from 1954 to 1956. They had a son, Dodi, who was in a romantic relationship with Diana, Princess of Wales, when they both died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
From 1997 onwards, Fayed was the subject of media scrutiny and investigations into allegations of sexual harassment and assault. In 2024, he became the subject of posthumous accusations of rape.
