Bassam Simon Halabi (Arabic: سيمون حلبي born August 1958)[1] is a Syrian-born British businessman and property developer.
His wealth derived initially from his father, who was a successful businessman in Syria and backed his son in his early ventures.[2] Embarking on a series of speculative property ventures, Halabi amassed a sizeable fortune himself. In the Sunday Times Rich List 2007, he was ranked 14th richest person in Britain,[3] while the Forbes list of global billionaires listed him at no. 194 in 2007, with an estimated net worth of US $4.3 billion.[4] In 2009, Forbes ranked him no. 224 with a reduced net worth of US $2.8 billion.[5]
Although he remains a private man, he is fond of conspicuous consumption, owning a large fleet of luxury cars including Bentleys and Rolls-Royce Phantoms, as well as a 130-ft yacht.[6] He is also a convicted rapist.[7][8]
