Rihanna finds love in a hopeful place ... with a Saudi heir worth €1.5bn
SHE has dated a string of A-listers including award-winning musicians and a baseball star.
But while Rihanna’s new boyfriend might not be quite so famous, he’s certainly not short of a bob or two.
The star, 29, is dating Saudi motoring tycoon Hassan Jameel, who is in line to inherit a €1.5billion fortune.
The couple were spotted kissing and drinking champagne in the pool of a luxury villa in Ibiza this week. Afterwards, Mr Jameel – who has previously been linked to supermodel Naomi Campbell – was seen beaming as the couple went for a coffee on the Spanish island.
A source told The Sun: ‘This relationship is the real deal. Rihanna has told friends she’s in love with him and seems completely smitten. They’ve been spending a lot of time together.’
Mr Jameel is deputy president of his family firm Abdul Latif Jameel, which he is also set to inherit. The business owns distribution rights for Toyota cars in various countries around the world. His family was ranked 12th in Forbes Middle East’s list of the world’s richest Arabs, with a net worth of $1.5billion (€1.36billion) last year, and are also said to own a football league in Saudi Arabia called the Jameel league.
Rihanna, who is worth an estimated €30million previously dated Canadian rapper Drake, American hip-hop artist Travis Scott and baseball player Matt Kemp. She split from boyfriend Chris Brown in 2009 after he assaulted her.
