Early life
Niami was born circa 1968 in Los Angeles, California.[1] He was raised by a single mother,[2] a special education teacher.[1]
Career
Niami started his career as a film producer.[1][3][4] He produced 15 films, many of them B movies, before he started building small condominiums and renovating homes to sell.[2]
As a real estate developer in Los Angeles, Niami built a mansion in Holmby Hills, which he sold for US$44 million to a Saudi buyer.[3] He built another house in Holmby Hills, which was purchased by musician Sean Combs for US$39 million in 2014.[5] He also hired architect Paul McClean to build a house for the Winklevoss twins Cameron and Tyler in the Bird Streets (north of Sunset Boulevard).[3][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]
Niami has built a megamansion in Bel Air, also designed by Paul McClean,[4] which is listed on the real estate market for US$340 million.[6][7] After eight years of development, it has been finished in the 2021.[2] The construction attracted unease from the Bel-Air Homeowners Alliance.[3] 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] It is the most expensive private residence in the United States,[8] and at 100,000 square feet will be one of the largest private homes in the US.[2]
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.[9]
