The website and LinkedIn page of Dubai Sheikh Ali Rashed Ali Saeed Al Maktoum’s private office were no longer accessible on Wednesday, despite his earlier pledge to return to Hong Kong to open a US$500 million family office after an abrupt postponement last month.

The private office’s domain www.sheikhalialmaktoum.com led to a page that said: “Looks like this domain isn’t connected to a website yet.”

The LinkedIn page of the private office, as well as the profile of Ryan Melad, its chief marketing officer, were also unavailable on Wednesday afternoon.

But the website of Here4U Entertainment, described in Melad’s LinkedIn profile as an event and talent management company under the sheikh’s private office, remained accessible. Melad had said on his LinkedIn page that he was Here4U’s chief marketing officer.

Eleanor Jane Mak, the CEO of the prince’s Hong Kong-based family office, said she would get back to the Post later with comment as Dubai was still on its Eid break.
