Stars Mom’s beauty, dad’s style: what the extravagant father of supermodels Bella and Gigi Hadid looks like

Mohamed Anwar Hadid was born into a Palestinian family in Nazareth (now Israel) in 1948, but left his homeland as a child. The Hadids, parents of eight, fled the war after living in Syria, Tunisia and Greece before settling in the US.

Muhammad soon showed what the skills of a businessman were: his natural charm and connections with the influential and wealthy Arab community helped him quickly move from a used car salesman to a construction boss. Hadid built luxury properties, owned nightclubs – and did not deny himself all kinds of pleasures.

The future father of Gigi and Bella even managed to participate in the 1992 Olympics in a completely exotic way as a representative of Jordan in the downhill skiing competition! He is still the only Jordanian athlete to compete in the Winter Olympics.

Of course, such an unusual (and rich) man had success with the opposite sex. At the time of his marriage to Dutch model Yolanda van der Herik in 1994, he was divorced: from his first marriage to Mary Butler, Mohamed Hadid had two daughters, Alana and Marielle.

Married to a Palestinian, Yolanda gave birth to Gigi, Bella and Anwar – all of whom became models. The couple stopped living together almost immediately after the birth of the youngest child, however, after separating from his wife, Mohamed did not stop being a caring father – and he does not neglect this role even today.

Unfortunately, today Mohamed Anwar Hadid is not at all as rich and influential as before – years of living on a grand scale and a series of risky transactions have shaken his financial strength. According to the foreign press, today his fortune is a “modest” 5 million dollars. However, it is unlikely that the father of the most beautiful woman in the world is worried that his old age will be poor – all his children are standing firmly on their feet.

Mohamed does not openly criticize Yolanda’s parenting methods, some of which have become the talk of the town. But he always does it in his own way: everyone knows, for example, how fanatically mother watches the nutrition of Gigi and Bella, but father does not miss the opportunity to open gastronomic joys to his girls. She perfectly prepares Arabic cuisine – and treats her daughters.

Hadid Sr. she is very particular about her appearance and wears the best clothes, preferring a style that can be described as casual chic. There are a lot of jokes on the web about his hairstyle – it does look a bit artificial, but it’s always perfect. The businessman does not comment on speculation that he manages to maintain a fresh appearance thanks to the achievements of cosmetic surgery, but one look at his smooth face is enough to indicate such a development. Some people have their whole lives ahead of them even at 75.
