The Sawiris family are the most famous and richest family in Egypt - but what else do we know about them?
Well they have made an incredible fortune over the years.
Forbes estimated the family’s combined net worth at $36billion which highlights their financial muscle.
Athough they have no previous experience of managing football clubs, the family does have a wealth of knowledge to call upon after decades of success in business.
From mobile phones in North Korea to rejuvenating a sleepy Swiss mountain village into a booming ski resort, these talented Arab’s have been busy over the years.

Onsi Sawiris, the family patriarch, got it all started in the 1950s.
He started out in agriculture, before switching to construction and becoming one of the country’s largest contractors.
He’s now retired, though, and his three sons run the Orascom conglomerate which has operations in three major sectors - construction, telecommunications and tourism.
One of the three brothers, Nassef has a net wealth of $6.6bn and is the richest Egyptian in the world.
He has a stake in Adidas and cement giant Lafarge Holcim, but it’s his company OCI - one of the world’s largest nitrogen fertilizer producers - that brings in the real money.
Nassef is ranked at No.251 in the world’s rich list.
Brother Naguib Sawiris has a net worth of $2bn and is the more interesting of the three.
His company, Orascom Telecom has investments in media and technology enterprises in Egypt, Lebanon and Pakistan. It also owns Koryolink, North Korea’s 3G mobile telecom company.
Back in 2015 he caught the world’s attention after offering to buy a Mediterranean island from Greece or Italy to house the world’s refugees.
He also has 4.7m Twitter followers and posts updates regularly.
Samih Sawiris ($850m) is the tourism expert. He heads Orascom Development, which builds and operates resorts in Egypt, Montenegro, and Switzerland.
It was Samih who was instrumental in rejuvenating Andermatt, Switzerland, where he overcame local skepticism to build a new luxury resort.
The family are also members of the Coptic Christian minority.
