Dubai Bling season 3 is here, and Ebraheem Al Samadi is once again stealing the spotlight on Netflix’s hit reality show. With a multi-millionaire net worth, Al Samadi has been a prominent face among the ultra-rich cast members since the show’s debut. While not all of the cast members hail from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), they live and work in Dubai, deeply embedded in the city’s social, business, and entertainment scenes.
Notable personalities on the show include influencer and entrepreneur Farhana Bodi, Saudi Arabian TV personality Lojain Omran, and Lebanese businesswoman Zenia Khoury, who moved to Dubai in 2006 to escape political unrest in Lebanon. Al Samadi’s captivating journey, however, stands out. Between his thriving business ventures and reality TV stardom, he is making waves in Dubai and beyond.
Journey From Struggle to Success
Al Samadi’s story began in Kuwait, where he was born in 1988 as the youngest of five children. His father, a wealthy hotelier, separated from his American mother when Al Samadi was just 13 years old. Raised in Orlando, Florida, by his mother, Al Samadi faced a drastic lifestyle change—no longer accustomed to luxury, he had to adjust to living in a modest one-bedroom flat. This shift, however, ignited a fire within him to succeed independently.
At the age of 13, Al Samadi began reselling items on eBay from his home in Florida. He started small, selling Levi’s jeans for a profit, and quickly scaled up. “I had a very good understanding at a young age of what to sell to whom,” Al Samadi recalled. He turned his side hustle into a full-fledged business, selling off-season brands under the name Marshalls. His entrepreneurial spirit only grew stronger from there.
A Flourishing Business Empire Led by Ebraheem Al Samadi
Al Samadi’s business acumen led him to establish his first legitimate company, EHA LLC, at the age of 17, which imported and sold roller skates under the brand name Wheelies in Florida. The business was so successful that it opened nine stores in just one year, though it eventually closed after two years. In 2010, Al Samadi relocated to Dubai, where he founded the Al Samadi Group, serving as its CEO. His business empire includes two divisions—hospitality and retail—and eight brands, such as Big Smoke Burger and The Chickery.
In 2015, Al Samadi purchased Forever Rose, a company that sells long-lasting flowers. Under his leadership, the brand saw a remarkable transformation, going from just USD 1 million in revenue to USD 21 million in just over a year. Al Samadi expanded the brand by moving its operations to the UAE and focusing on exceptional customer service. The result? Forever Rose became a household name in the luxury market.
A Social Media Star and Family Man
Al Samadi is not just a business mogul; he’s also a social media influencer with a significant following. On Instagram, where he goes by ‘The Blooming Man,’ he offers glimpses into his lavish lifestyle—vacations in Amalfi, Portofino, and Milan, fitness routines, and equestrian activities. His followers admire his toned physique and stylish life, which he balances with a strong family presence. Whether he’s riding horses at Dubai’s A3yan Stables or spending time with loved ones, Al Samadi’s life is an inspiring fusion of wealth, fitness, and family values.
From Reality TV to Entrepreneurial Glory
Ebraheem Al Samadi’s journey—from a young boy with a difficult upbringing to a multi-millionaire businessman and reality TV star—serves as a testament to the power of resilience and strategic thinking. With his influence growing on both social media and in the business world, it’s clear that this Blooming Man is just getting started.
