Luxury with limits: the rules behind Dubai millionaire’s marriage
Soudi, 27, who is from Sussex in the U.K., said she met her husband, Dubai businessman Jamal Al Nadak, 33, nine years ago when they were university students in Dubai.
On social media, Soudi regularly posts about a high-end lifestyle filled with luxury shopping, expensive cars and first-class travel.
In a recent video, she outlined some of her husband’s expectations: her handbag must always match her shoes, she is not allowed to work because he covers all expenses, she does not cook as they eat out every day, and she must have her hair and makeup professionally done daily. She also said she is not permitted to have male friends, according to NDTV.

“You shouldn’t have male friends, will need to let your husband know where you are and may be questioned by him on what you wear,” Soudi was quoted by The Sun as saying.
In exchange, she said she enjoys a lifestyle many people could only dream of. Her collection includes rare designer handbags, valuable diamonds and carefully selected artworks. She also claimed that Jamal once bought a private island in Asia, reportedly costing US$50 million, so she could swim in a bikini away from public attention.

Soudi said she also insists on weekly salon visits to “feel like herself again” and regular family holidays, which her husband pays for. The family recently traveled to the UK, and she said they aim to take monthly trips to spend quality time together.
The video, posted under the username @soudiofarabia, quickly went viral, attracting about 1.1 million views and sparking mixed reactions online. While some viewers praised her and congratulated her on her lifestyle and growing family, others were critical.
“This level of greed is not something anyone should be proud of,” one TikTok user said.
Another user said: “Congratulations, you deserve it all.”
