Rihanna’s new beau is stirring up quite the buzz ever since the pair was spotted kissing while on vacation in Spain. The man of the hour is Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel whose family owns Abdul Latif Jameel, the organisation with deep roots in the Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey (MENAT region).
The 29-year-old businessman is speculated to have a net worth of a whopping $1.5 billion, and at present, he is the President of Abdul Latif Jameel Co. and the Deputy President and Vice Chairman of Abdul Latif Jameel Domestic. The Jameel family ranks #12 on the Forbes 2016 list of the World’s richest Arab. As if the deal wasn’t sweet enough already, the Jameel’s are also proud owners of a soccer team.
Besides being a billionaire, Hassan Jameel accepted the Guinness World Record 2013 challenge for the world’s largest Toyota car parade. More reason to keep an eye out for him, eh?
What makes the duo so perfect is that they both have common interests. Like Rihanna, he also engages in charity work. His family’s company Community Jameel supports and showcases art in order to inspire and nurture people all around the world.
Sources close to the couple say that Rihanna has been flying to the UK on a regular basis to meet with Hassan Jameel. The rumour mills speculate that the pair has been officially together since January. Even though the budding romance has been kept away from prying eyes, the relationship seems serious. The pairing has been deemed “the real deal.”
Good for Rihanna. She bagged herself a man impeccable on paper, adorable in his traditional thawb, and commandingly dashing in his business suits.
