'RHODubai's Nina Ali Is Made For Reality TV—Check Out Her Net Worth, Husband, And IG
Bravo's newest show, Real Housewives of Dubai, airs on June 1, and fans have juuuust enough time to give the newest cast members a thorough IG stalk!
You're not going to want to miss Nina Ali, a businesswoman and mother of three, who is joining the glittering cast of the first season of RHODubai. She'll be diving head first into the drama with fellow cast members Caroline Stanbury, Lesa Milan, Chanel Ayan, Sara Al Madani and Caroline Brooks. But Nina already has everything she needs to be a reality television star. She’s a pro at TikTok, has a LOT of designer lewks, and an adorable family to match. This woman has got it all.
Plus, Nina is a savvy entrepreneur who co-founded a fruitcake company, which I feel can only lead to some interesting Housewife convos down the line.

So, who is Nina anyway?
Nina, 42, was born in Lebanon but moved with her family to Austin, Texas, when she was four years old. She spent most of her life in the states before moving to Dubai shortly after her 2010 wedding to her husband Munaf Ali. And she's lived there ever since! Now, Nina runs around with some of the most fabulous women in the city.

She's is building a fruitcake empire.
Yes, you heard that right. While Nina has been a successful parenting/fashion influencer on IG (under the name @LipstickMommy), she also is a focused businesswoman thanks to her fruitcake company, which is aptly called Fruit Cake.
Although she's got a large following on social media with 521k followers, it mostly serves as a way for her to connect with people and foster community. “I just liked the idea of putting pictures up. And then people began to follow me, especially other mothers. It’s because of my followers and their support that I am who I am today,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.
Nowadays, she’s set her sights on building a fruitcake empire, born out of her passion for baking, according to an interview with ITP Live.
“My mom has obviously always been my inspiration because she cooks such authentic homemade and fresh food, every day! My mom cooks all the time, everything is made from the heart,” she told the news outlet. Baking is a form of stress relief for Nina, as well!
Her husband is CEO of a bitcoin mining software company.
Nina met her now-husband Munaf Ali through family friends.
“After seeing my picture, Munaf asked about me. He flew all the way around the world, just to take me to dinner,” Nina told Harper’s Bazaar. They were married in 2010 and are still together almost 12 years later.

Munaf is CEO of UAE-based Phoenix Store, which sells bitcoin mining software and is doing quite well. Yahoo reports that the company signed a $650 million order for crypto mining rigs, which was one of the largest orders in history. While there's no solid number out there connected to his net worth, I'm going to go ahead and assume that his role as CEO of Phoenix Store pays quite well.
Nina's own net worth is even less clear, but I'm sure fans will get an inside look into her ultra-luxe life as soon as the show airs.
She's a mom to three kids, and she absolutely loves it.
Nina got pregnant almost immediately after moving to Dubai, and stayed pregnant or nursing for four years, as she gave birth to three kids. It sounds exhausting just to think about! She has two girls— Sophia and Nour— and a son named Ayan.
She posts her kids on her Instagram quite frequently, and I have to say, it's really adorable. Like this video of them dancing around on Christmas Eve. Plus, she's clearly super committed to her role as mom. "To my children- you are my everything and my everything is you. Thank you for making me complete," Nina wrote in a Mother's Day post this year.

“As a mother, my kids and their needs are a priority. Yes, I do like to put on make-up and get dressed up for events, but at the end of the day, I’m low-maintenance,” she told Harper's Bazaar.
In fact, she's so low maintenance that she has said that she does not get Botox or fillers, or even color her hair. That may be a housewife first!
