He may be the Crown Prince of Dubai, but Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (more commonly known as “Fazza”) is certainly the king of Instagram.
The 34-year-old allows his 5.1 million followers – and 2.41 million on Twitter – to get a glimpse into his billionaire lifestyle every day as he posts photo updates of his adventures.
He is the second son of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, and Emir (ruler) of Dubai. His father was worth an estimated $13.9 (£11.1) billion in 2013.
His father appointed him Crown Prince in 2008, despite having an older brother, Sheikh Rashid bin Mohammed. Rashid died of a heart attack in 2015 at the age of 33.
Fazza is the Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, the Dubai Autism Centre, and the Dubai Sports Council. But it looks like it’s his hobbies that keep him really busy.
Skydiving, horseback riding, cycling, ziplining, and diving are just a few pastimes he excels in. If that's not enough, he is also a talented photographer, world traveller, and published poet.
Take a look at the incredible life of His Highness Crown Prince "Fazza" of Dubai.

They appear to have a very close relationship.
He loves to travel, and spends much of his time exploring the globe. The more extreme the trip, the better. Here he is in Iceland...

He usually travels in the lap of luxury. Here he is in first class on Emirates.

But he's also at home on more modest modes of transport — like the London Underground.

He knows London well, as he attended the London School of Economics after his time at Sandhurst Military Academy, the prestigious British army school that has trained the likes of Prince William and Prince Harry.
Luckily, Fazza takes a lot of selfies, so every moment is documented for his fans.

Oh, and don't forget the fact that he's a semi-professional skydiver.
http://instagr.am/p/BAjtluXi1Lx
Here he is literally flying through the sky...

...and riding on what appears to be a hover board.
http://instagr.am/p/2dUvzYC1JN
Unsurprisingly, he fuels his adventures and sporting pursuits with coffee.
http://instagr.am/p/-3I7Coi1Be
And packs sandwiches, on occasion.
http://instagr.am/p/28DvfzC1M0
He appears to be a major family man, which is lucky, since he has 22 siblings.
http://instagr.am/p/BHhZt41AEe8
He is constantly surrounded by his nieces and nephews.
http://instagr.am/p/0rskYZi1Gu
He also spends a lot of time with animals. He has a clear adoration of horses...

In fact, he appears to love all animals.
http://instagr.am/p/BR2ednfBqCb
Somehow, he still finds time for his princely duties.

Hamdan is the Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, head of the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid establishment for young entrepreneurs, and sits on the Dubai Sports and Dubai Autism Centre councils.
To top it all off, he's also a published poet, writing about themes like love, wisdom, and patriotism.

Here's an appropriate couplet, titled "The Sage Wisdom."
Wherever you tread, your footsteps bud into great actions
And whatever ideas you say… they take to the sky and spread their wings

It begs the question: Is there anything this man can't do?
