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 across the African continent.
Boulos, who recently proposed to Trump’s younger daughter, Tiffany (27 years old), with a ring valued at $ 1.2 million, is of Lebanese origin.
However, his rich family of Christian faiths has ties to Nigeria and the United States.
Michael was born in Houston, Texas, and is the second of the four brothers; two are women, according to a Daily Mail report that interviewed his father, the tycoon Massad Boulos. Most of their lives were spent in Lagos, one of the nations that the outgoing president called “shithole” or “shit country” in 2018.
His brother Fares turned to acting and recently appeared in a scene from the Netflix series “The crown”, in a short performance without dialogue.
A “playboy” life
Before Michael met Tiffany in the summer of that year, the young man led a “playboy” life and could spend nights in various bars in the Nigerian city such as “Spice Route”, a club known for exotic air shows.
In addition, Michael was accustomed to visiting popular sites in the Mediterranean, such as cannes and the Greek islands as Mykonos, where he enjoyed attending yacht parties.
Michael holds a bachelor of arts degree in global business management from Regent’s University and London, England. He later graduated with a Masters in Project Management, Finance and Risk in University of London.
His father is a staunch supporter of Trump
The young man’s father, an ardent supporter of Trump, named him the best president in recent US history.
Regarding her son’s commitment to Tiffany, she said, “This is great news, it’s been a wonderful love story and will continue to be.”
He added: “This is just a chapter that I am now embarking on a long journey that I hope will be one of love and prosperity.”
Massad Boulos, born in Kfaraakka, near the Lebanese-Syrian border, was a boy when his family moved to the United States in the 1970s.
Massad was a student when he married Sarah Fadoul, the daughter of tycoon Zouhair Fadoul, who added his son-in-law to the family business through Fadoul Group, which currently has business in 13 African countries including construction, vehicle sales, vehicle assembly and maintenance.
