Mohamed Hadid is a man who wears many different business hats. The latest one for the father of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid is the founder of the “world’s most desirable caviar” – an interesting title to the say the least.
Having always been a passionate entrepreneur, the property tycoon’s next step looks to be an exciting one.

To execute the project, 72-year-old teamed up with Edward Gant who is now CEO for Hadid Caviar. With 30 years of experience in the seafood industry, it seems like it was an ideal partnership for Mohamed.
The four caviars, which are supposedly the “world’s most desirable”, which launched with the new brand are as follows: Black (Imperial), Gold (Royal Oscietra), Black Diamond (Beluga) and Sultan’s (Almas).

Hadid Caviar is now available for order in the UAE, USA, Europe and Canada.

In a recent interview with The Times UK, the property tycoon was discussing what it was like to have such famous children.
“They look at me as the father of Gigi and Bella and Anwar and Alana and Marielle,” the father-of-five said. “It’s dangerous for me to be their father.”
Clarifying his statement, he went on to explain that he has to be very cautious of everything he does, as he doesn’t want his actions to reflect on them. “[People] use my kids as an instrument to harass me,” he added.
“Just being their father is a tremendous burden on me,” he continued. “They were my kids. Now I’m their father. It is what it is.”
