The new season of 90 Day Fiance focuses on one very interesting couple, Bilal and Shaeeda. Bilal, like Shaeeda was born and raised in a traditional Muslim home, but claims to be “rich” and wants to avoid and dealings with a gold digger. But Media take Out did some research on the reality star and learned that he may be embellishing his financial status a bit.
The storyline on 90 Day fiance is that Bilal suspects that Shaeeda is a gold digger, and wanted to “test” her – before walking down the aisle. So Bilal pretends to be poor, and live in an old dilapidated house, to see how Shaeeda will react. Watch:
So what does Bilal do to make him “rich”?
According to Bilal’s LinkedIn, he’s been a Realtor Sales Associate at the Malfer & Associates, Compass Realty Group for the past five months in Leawood, Kansas. His website says he has spent almost a decade being a licensed realtor, 15 years as a real estate investor, and five as a national public speaker.
Bilal also showed his home on the latest episode of 90 Day Fiancé. Media Take Out staff went on the website Zillow and located comparable houses to the style and size of his home in Kansas City, MO and they’re running for between $400 and $500k. The home values are representative of a slightly above middle class home in St Louis.

But on closer inspection, he was actually stunting in a furniture store. Look at the tags on the items:
So what do you think – is his money real, or is he exaggerating his finances?
