Not many are aware that Tiffany Trump, the youngest daughter of former U.S. President Donald Trump, has close ties to Nigeria. Tiffany is married to Michael Boulos, a Lebanese-Nigerian businessman, and the couple often resides in Lagos’ prestigious Banana Island neighborhood when they are in the country. While they spend a significant amount of time in the United States, they make regular trips to Nigeria due to Michael’s involvement in his family’s business, Boulos Group, a prominent conglomerate with diverse interests.
The Boulos family has deep roots in Nigeria. Michael’s grandfather arrived from Lebanon in the early 20th century and established himself as an influential entrepreneur, founding SCOA Nigeria, the exclusive distributor of Suzuki in the country. The family also launched Boulos Group, which now spans multiple sectors, including technology, consumer goods, and construction. Among their notable ventures is the Boulos Paper Mill, one of Nigeria’s largest producers of tissue products, including popular brands like Rose Plus and Rose Belle Facial.
Currently, the family business is managed by Dr. Massoud Boulos, Michael’s father, who ensures the group’s operations and legacy continue to thrive. Michael, who grew up in Lagos and is deeply connected to the local community, has friends across Nigeria, including Seyi Tinubu, the son of Nigeria’s President.
Though Tiffany and Michael’s primary residence is in the United States, Michael is preparing to assume a more prominent role in the Boulos Group. The couple worships at House on the Rock in Lagos, where Pastor Adefarasin, a family friend, presided over their wedding at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
As Tiffany and Michael Boulos divide their time between the U.S. and Nigeria, their visits to Lagos attract interest, given Tiffany’s ties to one of the world’s most prominent political families.
