Abu Dhabi is one of the richest cities in the world with a wealth fund valued at $1.6 trillion
Abu Dhabi ranks among the world’s wealthiest cities, with its sovereign wealth funds steering about $1.6 trillion in assets.
Flagship investors such as ADIA, Mubadala and ADQ give the emirate firepower that rivals Norway’s $1.8 trillion Government Pension Fund Global, keeping it in the top tier of money capitals.
That capital keeps moving—think Mubadala’s $8 billion property play with Aldar, ADIA’s role in the $6.9 billion Hargreaves Lansdown buyout, and ADFD’s $100 million boost for Jordan’s digital-health overhaul. At home, Abu Dhabi’s non-oil GDP jumped 6.6 percent in Q2 2024.
