In case you hadn’t gathered, Leo from Love Is Blind wants you to know he’s like, really rich. As in, inherited the family business wealthy! Has a Rolex rich! Doesn’t have to worry about money, cashed in! But what actually is his net worth?
While we’re emotionally still recovering from Love Is Blind UK, there’s a brand new season of Love Is Blind to get our teeth stuff into, with five whole episodes centred around the pods. The experiment sees participants enter into a situation where they can’t see the person they’re speaking to, in a bid to build an emotional connection before a physical one.
One of this year’s hopefuls was 31-year-old art dealer Leo, who at one point says on camera, “I grew up financially very well-off. I’m not trying to build an influencer career. I’m a rich f***ing art dealer. I grew up, like, I went to a country club, went to private school. My college was paid for.”
In a later confessional, he added, “I’m an art dealer. It’s a family business. I actually own it now, I ended up inheriting it, but one of my biggest insecurities is that a girl just wants me for money.”
So, how rich actually is Leo, and where is he an art dealer? What’s the most expensive piece of art he’s sold? We did some digging to find out.
Leo from Love Is Blind’s net worth
Leo is an art dealer at Capital Art Advisory (CAA), and took over the family business in 2015 when he was around 22 years old. Unfortunately as the company is not publicly listed, it’s hard to know what they are worth, but the CAA has existed for over 50 years and seems to have a strong reputation in the art world.
The website states that since Leo was in charge of the company, he has “vastly expanded the outreach and breadth of work of the gallery, including a largely expanded selection of museum-quality bronze sculptures, functional water pipes, and other new and exciting artists’ works.”
Reports on Leo’s net worth vary massively – one claimed he was worth $6million, while another put his net worth at closer to $600,000, and Houzz estimating an average job cost of between $5,000 to $250,000, which he will make commission on.
Considering Leo referred to himself as a “rich f***ing art dealer”, it definitely feels like it’s likely to be at the higher end of the spectrum. Want to give us some intel, Leo?
Love Is Blind episodes one to six are now streaming on Netflix.
