Massad Boulos, Lebanon-born and a University of Houston alum, was picked by President-Elect Donald Trump for the role of Senior Adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern Affairs. According to Trump, Boulos is regarded as an “accomplished lawyer and highly respected business leader.” Although his billionaire status is being questioned, Boulos has become wealthy with his business enterprises as the CEO of both Boulos Enterprises and a Nigerian automotive industry company, SCOA Nigeria.
As an acquaintance “with most Lebanese Christian leaders,” one of whom is a presidential candidate endorsed by the Shiite Muslim political group Hezbollah,” Boulos is also the father-in-law to Trump’s youngest daughter Tiffany. The president-elect is confident in Boulos’ capacity to help America achieve peace in the Middle East. In the meantime, Boulos’ business affairs and alleged alliances are causing curiosity about the adviser’s finances. Here’s what we know about Boulos’ net worth.
Who Is Massad Boulos, Senior Adviser of Arab and Middle Eastern Affairs?
Trump has mentioned Boulos’ Republican, conservative values, legal work and leadership within the business world. He does check off a few of these boxes. At the University of Houston, he obtained his law degree. And now Boulos is the CEO of a billion-dollar conglomerate who may have run for a parliament seat in Lebanon in 2009. (He has disputed reports, which said he ran for parliament.) Either way, he has made a name for himself while earning an annual salary of $500 million.
Trump Believes Boulos Will Help To Achieve Middle Eastern Peace
Trump has not pointed toward any other characteristics, outside of Boulos’ business savvy and law degree, for why he thinks the adviser will do right by America. Regardless of whether Boulos’ net worth increases, in Trump’s eyes, his in-law should be able to achieve peace in the Middle East.
