Supermodel Naomi Campbell is reportedly dating an Egyptian millionaire tobacco company boss 15 years her senior.
Louis C. Camilleri, 61, and Campbell, 47, have reportedly been working to keep their romance secret — utilizing private jets to meet up.
According to a source, the pair have set tongues wagging after enjoying a series of dinner dates, reported mirror.co.uk.
“Naomi and Louis have been secretly dating for weeks. They’re all over each other when they’re out,” the source told The Sun newspaper. “Naomi likes to keep her relationships private and it is early days but there’s a real spark between them and their close friends are aware they’re dating,” the source added.
So who is the Arab tycoon who seems to have won the veteran supermodel’s heart?
Worth more than £150million ($192 million), Camilleri is chairman of Philip Morris International — a global cigarette and tobacco company — and also a director of Ferrari.
Campbell met Camilleri through her love of Formula One as they both attend Grand Prix races.
Camilleri, who went to boarding school in Britain and earned his degree in economics and business administration at a Swiss university, was named chairman and CEO of Philip Morris International in 2008. He made $20.6 million in 2010 and was paid £25 million by the tobacco firm last year,
Camilleri was chairman and chief executive of Altria Group, Inc., positions he had held since 2002.
In 2011, Camilleri caused controversy when he said “whilst it is addictive, it is not that hard to quit,” after he was confronted by a cancer nurse who challenged him on smoking statistics.
The dad of three, divorced from wife Marjolyn since 2004, is fluent in Italian, German and French. He was born in Egypt to Maltese parents.
Campbell’s other rich exes include Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin, 54, and 67-year-old Italian businessman Flavio Briatore. She has also been linked to actors Bradley Cooper and Idris Elba.
