He attended the an-Najah National University and graduated from the University of Texas in the United States. He was involved in establishing the al-Quds University.
His wealth is rooted in the oil and gas business, but much of his investments fall under the Edgo Group, his holding company based in London which operates in contracting, industrial development, trading, distribution and representation, project development, operation and maintenance. al-Masri is also the head of the Padico investment holding group, which controls 35 companies that include telecommunications (such as the Jawal mobile operator), construction, tourism (the Intercontinental Hotel Group), energy, environment, banking, finance and agriculture.
Between 1998 and 2000 he built a house which he named Beit Falasteen or "House of Palestine", inspired by Andrea Palladio, near Nablus. He is married to Angela Masri and has four sons, Rabih, Mazen, Omar and Leith, and two daughters Mai Masri and Dina.
