Where is Michael Boulos from?
Boulos, 27, was born in Lebanon but moved to Lagos, Nigeria, as a child, according to Harper’s Bazaar. His family runs a business in Lebanon called Boulos Enterprises, a distribution, assembly and trading company for motorcycles, bikes and outboard motors.
He graduated from the American International School of Lagos and attended college at Regent’s University London. He also received his master’s degree from City University of London a year later, according to Harpers Bazaar.
Boulos was named the associate director of SOCA Nigeria, according to BBC News, and he is also the billionaire-heir of the family’s business.
He reportedly met Tiffany in Mykonos, Greece, where they both were partying at Lindsay Lohan’s club over the summer of 2018. Later that year, Tiffany made the relationship public when she invited Boulos to her family’s Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago.
He was invited to Trump’s Christmas Eve at the White House in 2019 and to the State of the Union in 2020. Boulos proposed to Tiffany at the White House in 2021.
Tiffany’s mother, Marla Maples, told Town & Country previously that she “adores Michael.”
As of 2022, after marrying Tiffany on the Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, Boulos was splitting his time between London and in the United States with his wife.
Over the summer, Boulos’ father, Massad Boulous, was leading the effort to help win over Arab American voters for Trump. He met with leaders in Michigan to talk with people who were at the time disappointed with President Joe Biden‘s support for Israel.
Massad became involved with politics in 2019 when he met Trump, while their children were still dating.

Before the 2020 election, Massad assisted with Arab American outreach in a minor role.
In May, Massad and Boulos traveled to Detroit with foreign policy adviser Richard Grenell. They met with about 40 Arab American activists from across the country.
Massad then returned a week later for more engagements.
Boulos was in attendance at the Republican Nation Convention with Tiffany and the other Trump children.
