Michael Boulos, the 23-year-old Arab-American businessman who will become the former president’s son-in-law Donald Trump, is part of a multi-million dollar empire that stretches to the African continent.
Boulos, who recently proposed to Trump’s youngest daughter, Tiffany (27 years old), with a ring worth $ 1.2 million, is of Lebanese descent.
However, his prosperous family of Christian beliefs has ties to Nigeria and the United States.
Michael was born in Houston, Texas, and is the second of four brothers and sisters; two are women, according to a Daily Mail report in which his father, the tycoon, was interviewed Massad Boulos. They spent most of their lives growing up in Lagos, one of the countries the outgoing president called “shithole” or “country of shit” in 2018.
His brother Fares leaned towards acting and recently appeared in a scene from the Netflix series “The crown”, in a short performance without dialogue.
A life of ‘playboy’
Before meeting Michael Tiffany in the summer of that year, the young man led a “playboy” life and was able to spend nights at various bars in the Nigerian city such as the “Spice Route”, a club known for its exotic aerial acts.
In addition, Michael regularly visited popular places in the Mediterranean, such as Cannes and Greek islands such as Mykonos, where he liked to participate in parties on yachts.
Michael holds a Bachelor of Arts in Global Business Management from Regent’s University and Londres, Inglaterra. He then graduated with a master’s degree in Project Management, Finance and Risk in University of London.
His father is a staunch supporter of Trump
The young man’s father, a staunch supporter of Trump, called him the greatest president in recent United States history.
Speaking of her son’s commitment to Tiffany, she said, “This is great news, it has been a wonderful love story and will remain so.”
He added, “This is just one chapter that they are now embarking on a long journey that I hope is one of love and prosperity.”
Born in Kfaraakka, near Lebanon’s border with Syria, Massad Boulos was a boy when his family moved to the US in the 1970s.
Massad was a college student when he married Sarah Fadoul, daughter of tycoon Zouhair Fadoul, who added his son-in-law to family businesses through Fadoul Group, which currently has businesses in 13 African countries, including construction, vehicle sales and vehicle assembly and maintenance.
