Taleen Marie is a new face among the RHODubai cast this Summer. She steps onto the scene without fear of ruffling feathers as Chanel Ayan says she “reminds her of a loud South African bird.” With Taleen’s seemingly big personality comes an even bigger net worth and it could be something to do with her husband, Raffi’s, job.
Dubai is famed for being a place filled with high flyers and booming businesses. Turns out, Real Housewives’ Taleen and her hubby check the boxes for both as he is part of a huge family-run company based there. Taleen married Rafael Khanoyan 10 years ago and now they share two daughters. She moved from the USA to Dubai with her hubby and initially felt super lonely before befriending Bravo star Caroline Brooks.
RHODubai: What is Raffi’s job?
Taleen Marie’s husband, Rafael Khanoyan, is CEO of Al Ryum Group, a construction company in Dubai.
She explains on the show how his father was a contractor in Abu Dabi, adding how when her husband finished university in Texas, they both moved to Dubai for him to take over the family business.
Speaking of some of the projects the family has worked on she mentions the Emirates Palace: “…most of the golf courses, so much of what you see was built by my husband and his family.”
According to Naukri Gulf, the Al Ryum Group Of Companies has a company revenue estimated between $100 million and $1 billion.
Taleen’s net worth alone is estimated at $2m.
Taleen calls her husband a ‘child’
Taleen’s husband, Raffi, appears to blow her mind as he attempts to get their kids ready for a day out on RHODubai this season.
She describes her house as a “mental institution” and says she’s mom to daughters Gigi and Sienna, as well as her husband who she says is basically like her “third child.”
Speaking of Raffi, she says he “barely knows where their shoes and socks are, or even where their room is.”
Putting on his daughter’s shoes, Raffi says it’s the “hardest thing he’s ever done in his life.”
Taleen jokes: “I’m changing his diapers.”
