Al Fayed owned Fulham and department store Harrods
The Egytian-born businessman was best known for owning Premier League football club Fulham and also the world-renowned department store, Harrods.
According to Sky News, Al Fayed was buried after Friday prayers at London Central Mosque in Regent's Park. Back in 2010, Al Fayed sold Harrods to Qatar Holdings before selling Fulham to US businessman Shahid Khan in 2013.Born in Alexandria, Al Fayed was the son of a schoolteacher. He launched his own business before stepping up to become an adviser to one of the world’s richest men, the Sultan of Brunei, in 1966.After joining the board of the mining conglomerate Lonrho in 1975, he and his brother Ali, bought the Paris Ritz Hotel in 1979.
Al Fayed then entered the football world in 1997 when he bought Fulham for £6.25 million and he famously invited American music legend Michael Jackson to watch a match at Craven Cottage.After 16 years of owning Fulham, Al Fayed sold the club to Khan in a deal worth between a reported fee of £150 million to £200 million.
“The time is right because I have found a very good man in Shahid Khan to accept the responsibility and privilege that I have enjoyed at Fulham since 1997.”
