Mansour is involved in various state-owned businesses in the UAE. He is chairman of the two UAE sovereign wealth funds (Emirates Investment Authority, Mubadala Investment Company)[4] and a board member of a third (Abu Dhabi Investment Authority).[5][6] He is chairman of the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates,[7] and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).
Mansour is the owner of the Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG), an investment company for the Abu Dhabi royal family,[8] that acquired Manchester City in September 2008. The football club, which is operated by Khaldoon Al Mubarak and the CFG, has overseen a significant transformation since the takeover, having won seven top-flight league titles, including its first in 44 years and first Premier League title in 2012 and the Champions League title in 2023. Mansour owns multiple other sports clubs, including New York City FC in Major League Soccer.[9] Human rights groups and other critics have characterized Sheikh Mansour's sports investments as sportswashing to improve the image of the UAE amid its controversial human rights record.[10][11][12]
