April 21, 2025Who Is Hussain Sajwani?
Hussain Sajwani, 71, is the billionaire chairman of Dubai-based real estate powerhouse Damac Properties. He founded the company in 2002. The real estate tycoon currently has an estimated net worth of $10.2 billion, according to Forbes. He has a reputation for bold marketing tactics, including offering high-end cars like Lamborghinis to apartment buyers.
Sajwani is no stranger to Trump's high-profile circles. He previously drew attention for attending a New Year's Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago in 2016 during Donald Trump's first presidential term. The Florida resort, owned by Trump, serves as a venue for his exclusive parties and political gatherings.
Sanjwani's 2016 appearance at Trump's party coincided with his firm's project of building two Trump-branded golf courses in Dubai. Recently, the billionaire made headlines after announcing a significant investment in the US data centres, which aligns with Trump's broader investment interests for the US under his second term. Sanjwani has announced to invest $20 billion to support massive new data centres across the Midwest, the Sun Belt area, and also to keep America on the cutting edge of technology and artificial intelligence.
The news was made official by the US President during a press conference at the Trump-owned resort in January. It is anticipated that Sajwani's investments will be deployed in US states such as Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Michigan and Texas.
Sajwani, who was also at the event, told the media that his investment could surpass $20 billion, depending on market conditions and available opportunities.
