Dubai-based housewife and social media influencer Soudi Al Nadak, 26, has made headlines after claiming her millionaire husband, Jamal Al Nadak, purchased a private island so she could feel safe wearing a bikini on the beach. The influencer, originally from the UK, shared the news in a now-viral Instagram video with the caption: “POV: You wanted to wear a bikini so your millionaire husband bought you an island.” The post quickly garnered attention, amassing over 2.4 million views in less than a week.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Soudi revealed that the couple had already been considering purchasing an island as an investment, but the added factor of privacy for her beach outings solidified their decision. While she did not disclose the island’s specific location for privacy reasons, Soudi confirmed it is located in Asia and cost around $50 million.
Known for her lavish lifestyle, Soudi frequently shares glimpses of her opulent life with her Instagram and TikTok followers, where she showcases extravagant experiences such as buying a diamond ring for $1 million and purchasing artwork worth $2 million. Her content regularly attracts widespread attention, but it has also sparked controversy, with some accusing her of flaunting wealth and questioning the authenticity of her claims, including those regarding the private island.
In response to the criticism, Soudi addressed the backlash, saying, “I don’t understand why I get so much hate as I just like to share my lifestyle with everyone.” Despite the negative comments, her popularity continues to rise, with her story further fueling discussions on the intersections of wealth, social media influence, and personal privacy.
As Soudi continues to live in the spotlight, her viral post has only amplified the conversations surrounding her and her luxurious lifestyle.
