Sheikh Mohammed is ordered to pay over $280m upfront and provide a guarantee of over $320m for annual payments
Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, was ordered to pay his ex-wife Princess Haya and their two children a divorce settlement which could exceed half a billion dollars.
The settlement money - the highest-ever awarded by a United Kingdom court - is to protect Haya and the children from the threat that Sheikh Mohammed poses to them, The Guardian reported.
Justice Philip Moor said in a written judgment that the “main threat” to Haya and their children is the Dubai leader.
Haya fled to the UK in April 2019 with her two children, sparking a series of hearings concerned with custody, access, and financial support.
