Chanel Ayan’s net worth: $1.5 million
Chanel is the first Kenyan model from the UAE, and as she herself mentions on the show she’s been involved in campaigns with pretty much every luxe brand around. That’s helped her to amass her fortune for sure, but these days she also runs her own makeup brand and runs a talent agency to boot. As far as we’re concerned, that means she’s definitely thinking about how to grow that wealth for herself and her family in the future.

Dr. Sara Al Madani’s net worth: $3 million
Sara was born and raised in the UAE, staring her working career when she was 15 years old. At the time, she worked as a model and promotor to save for a clothing business, and eventually she graduated from the Sharjah American International School. Since then, she hasn’t looked back, focusing on her public speaking and entrepreneurship. (She was the youngest board member of the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce when she was in her twenties.) In short, she’s a successful and award-winning businesswoman who, in her thirties, has pretty much done every business out there — from social media, to restaurants, to NFTs, to health and beauty. This boss has earned every penny of her impressive net worth.

Caroline Brooks’ net worth: $4 to 6 million
This entrepreneur and real estate mogul has worked hard to establish her wealth, which she hopes to grow via the launch of a new spa in Dubai. Caroline began her career as a real estate agent with nothing following a divorce, and worked her way up to being the executive director of her firm. Now, her portfolio of properties is more than impressive. In addition to the new spa she also owns a spa and hotel and has a luxe beachfront property to her name, meaning she’s got more than enough projects to draw income from (and to keep her busy with!).
