July 20, 2011, 12:55 PM — Think hacking the server of some giant corporation, posting "hilarious" fake stories and your hacker tag is enough to make a name for yourself?
Think that is a way to write your name on the world?
Think that's a big enough platform to hack?
You ain's seen nothin' yet – and probably won't unless you fly high enough over a certain stretch of desert to be able to read the name HAMAD carved in letters more than 3,000 feet long.
The letters are so large the H, A and part of the M are waterways large enough for most motorboats to navigate and long enough that you'd want a motorboat rather than a canoe to get from M to the ocean.
The full name is two miles from beginning to end and 3,200 feet from top to bottom.
The name carved into the coast is the short version (in a manner of speaking) of Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, a 63-year-old billionaire who is a member of Abu Dhabi's ruling family and who owns Al Futaisi, the island into which he carved his name.
HAMAD also owns more than 200 cars, a custom-built pyramid in which he stores his favorite rides.
He has a Facebook page, a Wikipedia entry,
His fortune of $22.6 billion makes him one of the richest royals in the world. He's not on the list because he's not the top guy in Abu Dhabi, but among the monarchs listed, he has more money than any but the King of Thailand.
His name, obviously, is much, much larger.
