What was that I was saying about wealthy men dating black women? Oh that’s right….
Naomi Campbell is said to be “casually seeing” Nigerian oil mogul Kola Aluko despite being coincidently spotted in Kenya with ex- boyfriend, Formula One mogul Flavio Briatore (and his wife) last week. Naomi and Aluko have been seen out and about on several occasions. Campbell and Aluko were first linked together back in October, when the two were photographed shopping in Paris. But the pair reunited in London last week, when Campbell and Aluko were spotted taking in the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. Naomi was also spotted aboard Aluko’s yacht.
According to Forbes Kola Aluko is a Nigerian energy and aviation tycoon who founded oil trading firm Fossil Resources in 2001, then went on to become CEO of Exoro Energy- an indigenous oil exploration and production firm. In 2007, the company merged with Seven Energy, a leading independent oil exploration company. Aluko is now Deputy CEO and a leading shareholder of Seven Energy, which has operations and key interests in four onshore fields in the Niger Delta. Aluko is also a member of the advisory board of Vista Jet, a Swiss-based private jet charter company founded by Thomas Flohr. A passionate car racing enthusiast, Aluko has competed in major European races with the Swiss team Kessel racing. In June 2012, Kola Aluko was reported to have purchased two luxury ultra-modern estates in Beverly Hills for $40 million.
