Rihanna's 5th Annual Diamond Ball

As one of the biggest stars in entertainment, Rihanna is someone who is always in the spotlight, whether for her many chart-topping hits, her movies like Ocean’s 8 or one of her many popular side hustles – Fenty Beauty, lingerie brand Savage x Fenty and her new Fenty luxury line. She's famously dedicated to her family behind the scenes and in the public eye, the Work singer is all about, well, the work! In her private life, which she keeps very quiet, she is dating Saudi billionaire Hassan Jameel. The businessman and major philanthropist isn’t one for the limelight, though – there are very few photos of him and Rihanna together as they keep their longterm romance to themselves. Read on to find out about the ultra-private life of Rihanna’s boyfriend.

He has an MBA

Hassan, who has a BA in International Economics from Sophia University in Tokyo and and MBA from the London Business School, speaks at least three languages: English, Japanese and Arabic. He’s also very discreet – he has yet to appear on a red carpet with his girlfriend. In this pic he is arriving at an event separately from Rihanna.
