A Qatari sheik and prime minister of the gulf coast nation was rejected by the co-op board at 907 Fifth Avenue in his attempt to buy the late Huguette Clark's two 8th floor apartments for $31.5 million. Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, the cousin of Qatar's emir, was interested in buying a lot of space in the building, combined apartment or not, to house his security detail and very large family (two wives, 15 kids).
