He was the ruling Emir of the State of Qatar from 1995 to 2013.〔("Qatar: A tiny country asserts powerful influence" ), CBS ''60 Minutes'' via ''youtube.com'', 15 January 2012.〕 Hamad seized power in a bloodless palace coup d'état in 1995. During his 18-year rule, Qatar's natural gas production reached 77 million tonnes, making Qatar the richest country in the world per capita with the average income in the country US$86,440 a year per person.〔 During his reign several sports and diplomatic events took place in Qatar, including 2006 Asian Games, 2012 UN Climate Change Conference, Doha Agreement, Hamas–Fatah Doha agreement and it was decided that the 2022 FIFA World Cup was to be held in the country.

It also remained close with Hamas and Iran. He supported and funded rebel movements, particularly in Libya and Syria during the Arab Spring while maintaining political stability at home. The Sheikh founded news media group Al Jazeera, through which he maintained his influence over the Arab World. He also played a part in negotiations between US and the Taliban. In June 2013 Hamad in his brief televised address announced that he would hand power to his 35-year-old son, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.〔( Qatar's Emir, Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, Transfers Power To Crown Prince Sheikh Tamim )〕 ==Early years and education== Hamad was born 1952.
