10 Things I Learned When I Interviewed Money Kicks AKA ‘Dubai’s Rich Kid’
Money Kicks was on The Lovin Daily this week!
Money Kicks aka Rashed Belhasa has been making international headlines for years, dubbed ‘Dubai’s richest kid’, Rashed has merch and milkshakes in his name, he also probably has the coolest car for anyone his age (he’s 19-years-old) and one of the world’s most extensive shoe collections.
For someone who lives an extremely wild life (Mariah Carey, Rihanna and Messi have visited his home) and splashes said wild life on YouTube, Rashed was impressive and smashed any preconceptions you might associate with a ‘rich kid’ with a genuine and unrestricted chat about how he’s passionately building his empire.
Here’s what I learned about Rashed Belhasa

9. He does his best thinking in a jacuzzi
No joke. Money Kicks is an ideas machine. Truly. Starting out buying kicks when he was a young teen, (before shoes were the huge business they are today) Money started a collection. Then he moved to cars, content, social media, music and milkshakes. He’s also got a barbershop and a live boxing match in the pipeline. And yup, he does his best thinking in a jacuzzi.

2. He gets regular marriage proposals
Pre-interview, we put the question on social, if anyone had a question for Rashed. People responded, ‘what’s his bank balance?’ ‘what’s the name of his hairstyle?’ but the most common request? Proposals! 19-year-old Rashed (and his family) get them all the time.
His response? “I’m still young, I want to live life”.
