Leo Braudy claims to have a significant net worth after taking over his grandparent’s art dealing business!
Love is Blind season 7 contestant Leo Braudy has been boasting about his net worth after inheriting a business that has lasted generations. However, the exact figures of his financial status haven’t been revealed.
The 31-year-old art dealer from Washington, D.C., has been listed as a one-of-a-kind personality on the show looking to form a love connection. Braudy made an impression in the first episode of the season, flaunting his Rolex and Italian ancestry.
Moreover, Braudy mentioned that he took over the family business after his grandparents battled with cancer, leaving him in charge since 2015. However, the contestant made it clear that he doesn’t want a partner who is only concerned about his wealth.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Braudy completed his degree in international relations from Rollins College and is pursuing a Master of Art, Design & Business at the Sotheby’s Institution of Art.
With his expertise in the field, he has been dealing and brokering art at Capital Art Advisory, previously known as GlassArt.net. Founded by Braudy’s grandparents, Ethel and Authur Furman, the company advises many of the world’s private and corporate clients.
The website bio details Braudy’s contribution to the company: “Since taking over the company, Leo has vastly expanded the outreach and breadth of the gallery’s work, including new and exciting artists’ works.“
Despite such information, it’s unclear how much money Leo Braudy inherited from his family and how much net worth he holds as an art dealer. But the contestant grew up in a well-off family, as he mentioned not having to worry about money at any point in his life.
All the contestants were fed up with Leo Braudy as he constantly bragged about his net worth!
Braudy’s appearance in the show received mixed attention from the viewers as he failed to develop a connection with Brittany and Hannah in the signature pods. Most of the time, the contestant was indecisive about his partner.
Even during his first meet-up with Brittany on Love is Blind, she remarks on pairing up with Braudy, saying they weren’t chosen to continue their experiment on a trip to Mexico. They shortly broke up afterward.
Likewise, his frequent mention of his fortune and his family business made many assume he might be a paid actor this season. This created controversy around the validity of his claims, as many viewers moved to his Instagram to verify them.
To their surprise, art advice and pictures of art galleries filled his social account rather than wealthy parties, which he mostly bragged about.
Many users commented on his posts, and one wrote, “Dude, We don’t want your money. We don’t need a ‘boy’ like you. Keep all your money to yourself, my son! Such a red flag.“
However, Braudy doesn’t pay much attention to such remarks, including ones where people called him an art world nepo baby, and hasn’t even corrected some viewers who refer to him as Brody.
Moreover, he playfully talked about his net worth in his story, teasing his followers about his plans to release tax return files.
In the initial episode, the contestant revealed his plans to write a book on art and publish it shortly. Coming from a new generation of art dealers, Braudy knows how to create industry opportunities.
Going hand-in-hand with the technology, Braudy has recently started giving collectors advice on blue-chip NFTs. Such endeavors have helped him increase his existing high fortune and wealthy lifestyle.
