According to Netflix, the show focuses on the “high-flying social circle in Dubai” whose days are filled with “lavish parties, stunning skylines and jaw-dropping fashion”.

The series’ cast presents a mix of TV entrepreneurs, real estate owners, social media influencers and much more, hailing from multiple countries including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Australia, Grazia reported. But who exactly are the crazy rich and the power players of the show?

Let’s find out how rich these drama queens and kings really are – and which one of the members is friends with Hollywood icons like Will Smith and Jennifer Lopez.

Lebanese-American beauty Loujain Adada, who’s reportedly 32 or 33, is a model who started her career at the young age of 14. Adada first got on the road to becoming a millionaire with modelling gigs from photo shoot assignments to fashion ads, but she never really hit the runways as she wasn’t considered tall enough for it, she said on Ccercle.

Later, at the age of 21, Adada made her TV debut by hosting various shows. Four years later, she ended up getting married to 60-year-old billionaire Walid Julaffi, who headed several of Saudi Arabia’s largest privately owned businesses, as per Grazia magazine.

Their wedding, held in Venice, was hailed as a major event and reportedly cost a whopping US$10 million with Akon performing at the event, reported the magazine. Adada also made headlines for wearing a necklace that was worth US$3 million and donning a gorgeous Chanel bridal dress. Sadly, Julaffi passed away a few years ago from cancer.

Today, with a little help from her late husband’s US$9 billion dollar wealth and her own income, Adada’s net worth is difficult to estimate, but Women’s Health puts it somewhere between US$3.8 million and US$4 million. This reportedly makes her the second richest among the Dubai Bling cast members.
