It's not Sheikh Ahmed, that owns Emirates. It's Shaikh Ahmad Bin Juma Al Maktoum, I think he is Sheikha Binti's uncle.

Anyone have the family tree of the Maktoums?
I once saw the family tree of the Al Nahyans. Zayed certainly made his mark on the planet. 19 boys!

There would be too many trunks and not enough branches if you know what I mean. Consanguinity is important in royal families (including European royals) so you end up with quite a lot of people marrying their cousins.
