About

He is chairman of the English football club Newcastle United, the airline Riyadh Air, and manages the LIV Golf professional men's golf tour. He is also involved in the construction of Neom, a controversial megaproject.

Al-Rumayyan is a close ally of Saudi ruler Mohammed bin Salman. His early career was in finance. When King Abdullah died in 2015 and power consolidated around Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Al-Rumayyan was appointed chairman of PIF and placed on the board of Saudi Aramco. After Bin Salman's 2017 purge of competing Saudi political elites, Al-Rumayyan and his associates assisted Bin Salman in consolidating his authority, while the sovereign fund acquired assets seized from prominent Saudi figures.
