1 articles · Updated · Sarajevo Times · Jun 8

Summary

  • Paris-born lawyer Ilan Tobianah, 54, has turned his Zeus persona into a global luxury-social-media brand built around his distinctive white-bearded image and carefully guarded private life.
  • More than 2 million Instagram followers track posts featuring Ferraris, Lamborghinis, rare cars such as the Delage D12, and product lines in perfume, clothing and footwear.
  • His estimated $50 million fortune is tied to real-estate law, property business, brand collaborations and film work; he has produced several short films and is reportedly developing a feature project.
  • Since early 2023, Tobianah has publicly linked himself with Estonian model Rebeka Vosu, who uses the name Aphrodite online, extending the mythological branding that fuels his "modern fairy tale" image.
