Hassan Jameel is Rihanna's New Billionaire Boyfriend
The mystery man with Rihanna in Spain was identified as 29-year-old Saudi billionaire Hassan Jameel.
Mr Jameel, a Saudi national, is deputy president and vice chairman Abdul Latif Jameel. The family-owned company is one of the largest businesses in the world.
His family fortune is estimated to be approximately $1.5 billion, due in part to the company holding exclusive distribution rights for Toyota cars in Saudi Arabia and seven other countries.
In addition to the Toyota deal, Mr Jameel’s family owns a soccer league with 14 teams, called the Jameel League.
Mr Jameel is President of a charity called Community Jameel, which according to its website does not “define people by their problems, but by their potential”.
The organisation “invests in training, job creation, and businesses aimed at helping communities transform themselves,” in addition to showcasing artists throughout the Middle East and beyond - especially women.
One of its aims is poverty reduction and using technology to increase food and water security.
The billionaire's group also has partnerships with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Grameen Foundation.
Jameel was also involved in a libel case after he claimed he was falsely linked to funding of 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden. Jameel sued for libel and the matter was settled with newspaper saying they accepted Jameel was not a supporter of bin Laden.
Mr Jameel is perhaps best known for another high-profile celebrity relationship. He was seen canoodling with British model and actress Naomi Campbell in 2016.
According to the internet Rihanna is seeing Jameel for six months now and that they were very serious with each other.
