00:00What does Lindsay Lohan have to do with Michael Boulos and his marriage to Tiffany Trump?
00:05And what does Boulos' billionaire father think of former President Donald Trump? We have
00:10the answers.
00:11It seems fair to surmise that Michael Boulos, who was born in 1997, didn't marry into the
00:16Trump family for money. After all, his father is Mossad Boulos, one of Lebanon's richest
00:21men with a fortune estimated to be around $1 billion. Even Michael's own net worth is
00:27estimated to be around the $20 million mark.
00:30Mossad made his fortune as the CEO of both the motorcycle-distributing family business
00:34Boulos Enterprises and the conglomerate SCOA Nigeria. As a result, Michael and his siblings
00:40didn't want for anything while growing up.
00:42But Michael, who was born in Texas and spent time growing up in Lebanon, has some creativity
00:46in his blood, too. His mom, Sarah Boulos, founded the Society for the Performing Arts
00:51in Nigeria, or SPAN, in 2005 to showcase Nigerian performing artists.
00:59Michael Boulos' eventful early life continued when he and his family moved to the Nigerian
01:04city of Lagos. Mossad Boulos had several businesses in the African country, including SCOA Nigeria
01:10and Boulos Enterprises, the latter best known for importing and distributing Suzuki products.
01:15After graduating from American International High School in Lagos, Michael Boulos relocated
01:20to London, where he studied for both a bachelor's and master's degree. First, he attended the
01:24exclusive Regence University, a popular destination for offspring of the rich and famous.
01:30After earning his degree in global business management in 2018, Boulos headed for City
01:35University of London to study project management, finance, and risk. Of course, his wife Tiffany
01:40Trump is dedicated to educational matters, too, having graduated in 2020 from Georgetown
01:45Law School.
01:47Remember Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club, the one-season MTV reality series documenting actor Lindsay
01:52Lohan running her beach club in Greece? Well, Tiffany Trump and Michael Boulos will forever
01:57associate their love story with the actor's side hustle.
02:00You never know where I am when I'm here.
02:02Yes, Lohan Beach House Mykonos is where the newlyweds first met back in the summer of
02:062018. But despite knowing both parties, Lohan insists that she had nothing to do with their
02:11blossoming romance. Speaking at the premiere of her reality show, Lohan told People magazine
02:16that she wasn't actually present when Trump and Boulos first set eyes on each other.
02:20The redhead had been friendly with Tiffany Trump for years, but had only recently become
02:24acquaintances with Boulos through mutual pals. According to reports, Boulos had always been
02:29something of a party animal, regularly frequenting Lagos' hottest night spots, including Spice
02:35Route, a venue famous for its elaborate aerial performers.
02:38When he would exhaust all that the Nigerian city had to offer, he'd simply hop on a private
02:42plane with his best buds to hit the various Greek islands. But Boulos and his posse would
02:47also enjoy letting their hair down on private yachts that sailed around the Mediterranean,
02:52too.
02:53After going public with their romance in 2018, Tiffany Trump and Michael Boulos achieved
02:58another major relationship milestone when they played Meet the Family. Yes, later that
03:03year, the loved-up couple were invited to Thanksgiving dinner at the Trump family's
03:06Mar-a-Lago estate.
03:07Donald Trump also publicly gave the pair his blessing on their wedding day, posting on
03:11Truth Social that Tiffany and Michael are, quote, a beautiful couple who will be very
03:15happy together.
03:17Michael's own father is on board, too. Following the announcement of their engagement, Mossad
03:21Boulos told the Daily Mail,
03:22"...it's great news. It's been an amazing love story and it will continue to be. This
03:26is just one chapter that they're starting now on a long journey of hopefully love and
03:30prosperity."
03:33Michael Boulos sure knows how to choose his moments. While most men would probably postpone
03:37any proposals once their girlfriend's father had become embroiled in a political uprising,
03:42the Texan-born businessman decided that January 2021 was the perfect time to ask for Tiffany
03:46Trump's hand in marriage. In fact, Boulos got down on one knee at the Rose Garden just
03:5124 hours before Donald Trump left his presidential role in the White House.
03:55"...and I just want to say goodbye."
03:58Alongside a photo, Tiffany tweeted,
04:00"...it has been an honor to celebrate many milestones, historic occasions, and create
04:04memories with my family here at the White House. None more special than my engagement
04:08to my amazing fiancé, Michael."
04:10The groom-to-be also expressed his happiness, writing on his Instagram account,
04:13"...got engaged to the love of my life. Looking forward to our next chapter together."
04:18The two married at Mar-a-Lago in 2022.
04:21Could Michael Boulos be laying the groundwork for his own political career? In 2024, the
04:26same year that he and Tiffany Trump served as Florida delegates at the Republican National
04:30Committee, the businessman also helped out with his father-in-law's presidential election
04:34campaign by speaking at a May 2024 meeting designed to court the Arab-American vote.
04:40Alongside his father and one-time Donald Trump ambassador Richard Grenell, Michael addressed
04:45roughly 40 Arab-American activists at the event in Michigan. Syrian-American activist
04:50Sam Asad Hana told the Daily Mail that he was impressed by what he heard over the two-and-a-half
04:54hours, saying,
04:55"...they talked about the election and the need for unity, the focus was on upcoming
04:59election and they focused on their backgrounds from the Middle East."
05:02Although Michael has little first-hand experience of the political world, his dad does. Yes,
05:07Masad briefly ran for the 2018 parliamentary elections in Nigeria before deciding to rescind
05:13his nomination. And he's a big fan of Donald, too. Following the news that his son had got
05:17engaged to Tiffany, the businessman told the Daily Mail that the 45th was, quote,
05:21"...the best president in recent U.S. history, and the one with the biggest achievements
05:26by far."
05:27Unsurprisingly, Michael is also a major fan. Indeed, he has adopted the hashtag,
05:32KeepMakingAmericaGreat, and has often shown up at his rallies with his wife to offer support.
