He Asked Tiffany Trump to Marry Him. Then the Deals Started Coming
Michael Boulos and his family gained financially from yacht sales and business deals linked to their Trump family connections, including $300,000 from yacht commissions, records show.
- In January 2021, Michael Boulos proposed to Tiffany Trump in the White House Rose Garden, and they married in 2022 at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
- Almost immediately after the engagement, Boulos and his associates began benefiting financially through deals linked to his increased proximity to the Trump family.
- By June 2021, Boulos sold Jared Kushner, his future brother-in-law, an investment in the roughly 160-foot unfinished superyacht Solstice, priced at about 12.5 million euros, with sale closing in early 2022.
- Boulos received approximately US$300,000 from the yacht sale and US$100,000 from a Saudi businessperson who was also involved in a related meeting where a $100,000 bank deposit was made to Boulos' account.
- Both deals eventually failed amid denials of wrongdoing, but Boulos' engagement raised his profile, helped his family financially, and coincided with his political advancement after Trump's 2024 election.
