Bassam Alghanim’s wealth comes from assets inherited from his father’s conglomerate Alghanim Industries, a diversified company chaired by his brother Kutayba, as well as his stake in Gulf Bank. He managed the family business from the 1970s to the 1990s but is no longer involved in the holding after a bitter fight with his brother regarding the division of assets inherited by his late father Yusuf. Bassam Alghanim filed lawsuits against his brother in the US and UK, accusing him of hacking his email in 2008. He lives in Los Angeles and is the honorary consul of Saint Kitts and Nevis in California.
