TIGER 21 Expands to Dubai | The National

Following the official launch of TIGER 21’s Dubai Chapter, TIGER 21 Founder & Chairman Michael Sonnenfeldt, CEO Timothy F. Daniels, and Dubai Chairs Vijay Tirathrai and Mohamad El-Hage were featured in The National. The article by Deepthi Nair and Salim A. Essaid highlights TIGER 21’s unique peer-learning model, emphasizing its role in wealth preservation, building relationships, and navigating the complexities of extraordinary success.

“Dubai has only continued its rather dramatic ascendance in terms of being a place that the ultra-high-net-worth community wants to call home, and where family offices want to establish themselves,” says Tim Daniels.

As Dubai cements its position as a global wealth hub, the demand for peer networks like TIGER 21 continues to grow. With 1,600+ Members collectively holding $200 billion in personal assets, TIGER 21 provides a trusted space for wealth creators to share insights on portfolio allocation, legacy building, philanthropy, and navigating family dynamics.

There are 12-15 Members to a Group, ranging vastly in age, professional backgrounds, and personal experiences. Dubai Chair Vijay Tirathrai adds, “Our Group offers a safe space, bounded by confidentiality, to support difficult conversations, allowing Members to be vulnerable and knowing that they will get clear reflections from peers who have been through those journeys themselves.”

“Members in young groups like Dubai join with a purpose of becoming better investors and diversifying their assets. You may have individuals who are very heavily invested in real estate, private equity or direct investments.” says Dubai Chair Mohamad El-Hage. “The majority of TIGER 21 Members in Dubai are entrepreneurs that have created their own businesses, so it keeps the conversation rich in terms of their experiences and perspectives on wealth.”

As TIGER 21 continues its global expansion, with upcoming chapters forming in Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Milan, we remain committed to providing a confidential and trusted environment for Members to navigate life’s most complex decisions.
