Fayed lived a rich life, beginning his career as a street
soda salesman in Alexandria, eventually building a shipping empire in the
Middle East. Wanting to continue to grow in
International trade Fayed moved to
the UK, where he became the owner of Fulham Football club and the grandest of
British department stores, Harrods, as according to the BBC.
In the sixties he became the advisor for some of the richest
men in the world, including the Sultan of Brunei, and former prime minister of
the UAE,
Rashid bin Saeed.
Fayed’s connection in the UK grew deep, despite his never
being able to attain a
British passport, with no reasons made clear for his
lack of citizenship, despite having moved there in 1974s, and living there till
his final moments. His son was involved in a relationship with
Princess Diana,
and died alongside her in a car crash. This was an event that deeply perturbed
Fayed’s life, as he long believed that a conspiracy led to their deaths, and
they were
killed by the British powers that be.
Under his leadership Fulham FC first rose to the premiere
league, witnessing unprecedented growth. The club made statements as to the
impact of his career on their history and their deep mourning of his passing.
Fayed passed away in his home in Surrey, England, surrounded
by family.
