The chairman of Dubai World, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem is recognised as one of Dubai’s leading business figures.
A graduate from Temple University, Philadelphia, Bin Sulayem has powered Dubai World’s rapid expansion. Under his stewardship, DP World has become the fourth largest port operator in the world, while the Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) is now an unrivalled business park with a global arm, Jafza International.
Bin Sulayem also established Nakheel, currently one of the biggest master developers in the world and the creator of icons such as The Palm and The World. He founded the investment house Istithmar, and the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), a regional centre of excellence in the commodities business, alongside the real estate developer Limitless.
A board member of Dubai Government’s Executive Council, Bin Sulayem has won several regional and international titles. In October 2008 the UK-based Middlesex University awarded him an honorary doctorate in recognition of his contribution to the economic development of the UAE and the Arab World. He was also chosen as a ‘Global Leader for Tomorrow’ by the World Economic Forum.

I'm Saudi, and I don't think Fayez Al Maliki should make any list here. No disrespect, but he's no where near any influencial status, he's not the best saudi actor, he's not very popular. he's the subject of jokes. it's just that MBC and Rotana keeps enforcing him and other nobodys in our Ramadan after breakfast time! he's not the director, he's not the guy behind this (Prince Al-Waleed)...I'm not sure i'd be interested in reading your lists again if the #10 is a nobody!

I can't deny that I'm a bit surprised with the list... Also surprised that many names are very new to me... But that's a good thing, for then I can search and find out who they are (tried it on some, and it's amazing what people have been achieving)...
But 2 quick remarks:
- Couldn't but be proud to be Lebanese, seeing that 17 names out of the hundred came out of our small country, which is war torn and has one of the lowest populations... I'm just wondering if all our Middle East finds peace, how much can we all achieve!
- One has to still admit that the ratio of men to women is quite high... Although some women made the list, but it's clear that we still live in a society that doesn't give women all the potential to realise themselves...
Great work and I have some more searching to do :)
