Leo Braudy<\/strong> \u2013 a standout star of <\/span>Love Is Blind<\/a> <\/span><\/i>season 7 \u2013 loved talking about how he took over his family business at a young age and his hefty bank account. But what is Leo\u2019s job?<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m fortunate. I have an interesting and lucrative job. I\u2019m an art dealer. It\u2019s a family business. I actually own it now,\u201d Leo said during a confessional at the beginning of season 7. \u201cI ended up inheriting it, but one of my biggest insecurities is that a girl only wants me for money. I think that an experience like this that focuses on the emotional connection first is an opportunity that I couldn\u2019t pass up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Leo opened up about taking over the family business after relatives\u2019 battles with cancer left him in charge since 2015. The Alexandria, Virginia, native is the owner and CEO of Capital Art Advisory<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHe is also the grandson of Ethel and Arthur Furman, and shares the same passion, knowledge, and expertise as the founders,\u201d his bio on the company website reads. \u201cSince taking over the company, Leo has vastly expanded the outreach and breadth of work of the gallery, including a largely expanded selection of museum-quality bronze sculptures, functional water pipes, and other new and exciting artists\u2019 works.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Ethel A. Furman & Associates was founded in 1970. Under Leo\u2019s leadership, he relocated the company from Washington, D.C. to New York City and renamed it Capital Art Advisory \u201cto reflect the firm\u2019s roots.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cLeo travels to major art fairs and regularly lectures on the business of art, including procuring, investing, and collection management,\u201d his bio continues. \u201cHe is currently working on a book he plans to publish soon about these topics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n After being asked her opinions on signing a prenup, Hannah Jiles<\/strong> \u2013 one of Leo\u2019s connections in the pods \u2013 admitted wasn\u2019t exactly clear about what an art dealer is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n An art dealer is a person who buys and sells works of art. While Leo inherited his company from his grandparents, whom he claimed \u201cinstilled within me a knowledge and passion for art,\u201d he often uses his social media platform to promote his passion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been doing a lot of thinking about this. I\u2019m super fortunate to run my family\u2019s art dealing and advisory business and art has been my passion my whole life,\u201d he said in a September 2024 Instagram<\/a> video before explaining his plan to help unknown artists with his \u201cweird 30 seconds of reality show fame.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n While it\u2019s unclear just how much money Leo inherited from his family and how much he makes as an art dealer, he often spoke about how \u201cfortunate\u201d he is during his time on the show. His castmates even pointed out that the Sotheby\u2019s Institute of Art grad wore a Rolex throughout filming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m really fortunate to be 30 years old and not have to worry about money at all,\u201d he told future fianc\u00e9e Brittany <\/strong><\/span>Wisniewski<\/strong>. \u201cIt\u2019s something I\u2019m honestly a little bit uncomfortable talking about in general. I grew up, like, very well-off\u2026 The business I was really blessed to inherit does, like, pretty well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nLeo From Love Is Blind Is an Art Dealer<\/h2>\n
