Nabila Khashoggi (Arabic: نبيلة خاشقجي, born 19 February 1962) is a businesswoman.[1][2]

Early life

[edit]

Nabila Khashoggi was born in Beirut, Lebanon, the eldest child of the late Saudi Arabian arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and his English former wife, Soraya Khashoggi (born Sandra Patricia Jarvis-Daly).[3] She is the cousin of Dodi Fayed.

Her family moved to England in 1975 at the beginning of the Lebanese Civil War. Khashoggi was educated at Millfield.[3] Her father named one of his yachts after her (1980).[4][5]

Career

[edit]

Khashoggi studied acting with Joanne Baron in Los Angeles (a teacher of Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton), and immersed herself in acting. Her most notable film roles include Eye of the Widow (1991), The Mystery of Edwin Drood (1993), Crack (1994), and Labyrinth (2003).

Khashoggi supplemented her acting income with business projects. In 1983, she formed Infolex Corp with business partner Bedros Bedrossian, an electrical engineer for the ITT Defense Communications Division. The company produced multilingual tourist information kiosks for travelers, purchased by hotel chains and airports.[6][better source needed]

In 1984, she began a real estate development venture with her brothers, which sold and developed properties in Spain, England, the United States, France, and South Korea. The siblings also ran a Kenyan tourist camp, and developed mobile hospital units for war torn areas.[6][better source needed]

In 2010, Khashoggi founded NabilaK, an online cosmetics, beauty, and home products company[7][8] with a line of skin care and home ambiance products. The brand's message is to promote a healthier lifestyle through natural elements. The company supports The Children of Peace (ONLUS), an Italian charity for education and aid to children in less developed countries.[9][10][11]

Khashoggi is the author of a series of children's adventure books, Spartan and the Green Egg.[12][13]

Personal life

[edit]

In 1992, Khashoggi married British businessman Danny Daggenhurst, chairman of a palm oil company in Bangkok, and son of a former Greek ambassador to Czechoslovakia.[3][14][better source needed] They have a son, Spartan.[15] In 2004, Khashoggi married James Cox Chambers, an American billionaire heir,[16][17] and she has a second son, with Chambers.[18] They live in New York.[19][18]
