The home that the Palestinian-American real estate developer and father to two of a new set of supermodels — Gigi and Bella Hadid — shares with his fiancé, is only one of many he owns around the world. But it’s opulent style and seamless blend of periods and cultures makes for a truly one-of-a-kind residence, complete with a Versaille-style garden with two ponds and seven white swans. You can see the Bel Air property in this month’s issue of Harper’s Bazaar Arabia Interiors “I don’t follow trends so I make my own,” says Hadid, who made his name designing Ritz Carlton hotels in the U.S. “I create homes that feel like a home — it could be a palace or a mansion — but each one has a comfortable feeling.” The 48,000-square-foot estate, known as Belvedere Mansion, sits on 2.2 acres.

Artworks range from Rennaissance pieces to a painting of Safai done by Hadid, based on an iPhone photo he took of her.

So why have them?” the mogul says of his family-centric estate. “My father always said ‘Enjoy your life so that other people enjoy your joy.'” We’ll happily come over any time!
