Early Life

Dodi Fayed was born on 15 April 1955 in Alexandria, Egypt, the eldest son of Mohamed Al-Fayed and Samira Khashoggi. His father was a wealthy Egyptian businessman and his mother was a Saudi Arabian princess. He had two younger brothers, Ali and Omar. The family moved to London in the early 1960s.

Fayed also had a successful career as a businessman. In 1984, he and his father purchased the Hôtel Ritz Paris. In 1988, they bought the house of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill for £12 million.
