About Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani
Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani was born in 1991 into the royal family of Qatar. His family’s wealth comes from the Qatar Investment Authority, which controls oil and gas reserves.
The Qatari prince was raised in a family that values higher education. His father, Hamad, who ruled Qatar between 1995 and 2013, attended the British Military Academy, Sandhurst, while his mother, Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, is a world-renowned philanthropist and supporter of university education and also established an enormous college complex in Qatar.
