Niami is a real estate developer in Los Angeles. He built a mansion in Holmby Hills, which he sold for US$44 million to a Saudi buyer.[2] Niami built another house in Holmby Hills, which was purchased by rapper Sean Combs for US$39 million in 2014.[4] He also hired architect Paul McClean to build a house for the Winklevoss twins in the Bird Streets (north of Sunset Boulevard).[2][1] Additionally, he built a house in Trousdale Estates, a neighborhood in the city of Beverly Hills, with "a spinning car turntable, similar to those in auto showrooms, that's visible from the living room."[1]

In 2015, Niami built a megamansion in Bel Air, also designed by Paul McClean,[3] listed on the real estate market for US$500 million.[5] The construction attracted unease from the Bel-Air Homeowners Alliance.[2] It is the most expensive private residence in the United States.[6] Its chairman, Fred Rosen, suggested the house was so big it should have been "considered a commercial project", subject to more restrictive housing regulations.[1]

Niami launched Wolfpack, a mobile app for single men looking for friends.[1]

Personal life

Niami purchased Scooter Braun's Bel Air house for US$9.5 million in July 2015.[7]
