SAN FRANCISCO, July 18, (THEWILL) – Ruler of Dubai and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum has been pictured with his son, Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, taking a tube ride in central London.
You don’t get it, this man, valued in excess of $4 billion by Time and Forbes, after he gave $10 billion in 2007 to set up his foundation, is loaded enough to buy the train!
Rather, they choose to be just like any tube commuters, battling the summer crowds on a blistering hot day beneath central London, taking selfies and uploading them to social media, leaving their royalty at home.
Unlike their normal traditional ‘royalty’ Arab dresses, the pair were dressed down casually for summer like many other Londoners enjoying the warm weather.
During their ride, the Crown Prince appears to have taken a selfie with his father, and other Tube riders, and uploaded it to his Twitter, Instagram and SnapChat accounts.
Their Tube ride has been viewed by the son’s millions of social media followers with 1.84 million followers on Twitter and 3.8 million followers on Instagram.
‘From #londonunderground,’ he said on Twitter while posting the pic.
Looking forward to the day a Nigerian billionaire will board a ‘molue’ in Lagos, oh, I remember, Prof Yemi Osinbajo was pictured using a BRT bus in the days of election campaign – before he became Vice President.
Don’t worry, I will have some humility or better still, humbility (humility+humble) and use a ‘danfo’ sometime this week!
