Massad Fares Boulos (Arabic: مسعد بولس; born 1971)[3][4][5][6] is a Lebanese-born American businessman and political associate of President Donald Trump.[7] He is the father of Michael Boulos and the father-in-law of Trump's daughter Tiffany. He supported Trump's successful presidential campaign in the 2024 presidential election, and canvassed for the support of Arab Americans, particularly in Michigan.[7][8]
Boulos worked as the CEO of SCOA Nigeria PLC,[9][10] a trucking and heavy machinery dealership company and subsidiary of the Fadoul Group in Nigeria. He rose to prominence in 2018 when his son began to date Tiffany Trump. In December 2024, Trump designated Boulos his Middle East advisor.[9][11]
