Sheikha Mahra Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the 31-year-old daughter of the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, has announced her engagement to Moroccan-American rapper French Montana, real name Karim Kharbouch. The news was confirmed by French Montana's publicist, who stated that the proposal took place during Paris Fashion Week in June.
The couple, with a combined estimated net worth of $350 million, have been seen together since 2024 at various locations including mosques, upscale restaurants in Dubai and Morocco, and the Pont des Arts in Paris. Sheikha Mahra, who has an estimated personal fortune of $300 million, launched her own perfume brand, Mahra M1, last year and named one of her scents 'Divorce' following her public split from her first husband.
The engagement ring, a custom piece by jeweller Mavani, is an 11.53-carat emerald cut diamond reportedly worth $1.1 million. French Montana, 40, is said to have commissioned the ring for the special occasion. The couple have not yet set a date for their wedding, but sources indicate that both families are excited about the union.
Sheikha Mahra, who studied in London and holds a degree in International Relations, has over one million Instagram followers. She frequently shares glimpses of her luxurious lifestyle, including travels to Portugal, Morocco, Miami, Orlando, Paris, and Greece, often via private jet. The princess also has a young daughter from her previous marriage.
