What do you do when you have enough money to make Warren Buffet look poor? Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan answered that question by getting his name carved in a desert island. Did I mention that the letters are a half a mile tall and over two miles wide? Oh, he also owns the island.
And one more tiny detail. The engraving “HAMAD” just happens to be visible from space.

Thanks, Raj. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and subsequently making writing my name in the sand the most depressing activity on the beach…
Any word on the cost? Maybe i don’t want to know that..
& these rappers still think icing out their name on a chain is ballin.
Buffet has more money, and much more sense.
Buffet DOES have more bucks. He’s worth like 45-50 billion. And this guy 15.
only 15 billion? what a bitch.

Not only does Buffet have more money, but he earned it himself instead of inheriting it. Also, he recently pledged to donate 99% of his wealth to various charities (Google “600 Billion Dollar Challenge”).
This Hamad guy is a selfish, egotistical asshole.
