Behind every successful woman stands a man. Meet Huda Beauty founder Huda Goncalo’s husband, Christopher Goncalo.
Goncalo’s Career , Earnings and Net worth
Goncalo’s finance studies came in handy when it came to running Huda Beauty, her wife’s business, which was officially launched in 2013. Aside from that, Chris is the Chief Operating Officer for the $1 billion dollar beauty company.
Not to mention his wife, who is one of Forbes’ self-made millionaire women, with an estimated net worth of more than $610 million. Another intriguing fact is that Huda is one of the highest-paid social media influencers, charging up to $18,000 per sponsored post for product promotion.
And did we mention her Instagram followers have surpassed 40 million, which is more than the population of Canada? Mr. Huda Beauty, on the other hand, has over 200k followers.
Christopher Goncalo and Huda Kattan’s Married Life
Colombian-born Christopher Goncalo, who now lives in one of the world’s most populous cities, Dubai, has been married to her wife Huda Kattan, an Iraqi-American, for nearly two decades, as of 2019.
In fact, Christoper met his then-girlfriend when they were both teenagers, with Huda being only 16 at the time and Chris attending the University of Michigan. Goncalo, who majored in finance, was the one who suggested his wife move to the Middle Eastern country for her career in 2008, shortly after they married the same year.
A Daughter’s Father
In 2011, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Nour Giselle, while Huda, a then-beauty blogger, was in the early stages of building her business.
And, on the other hand, not everything in their marriage was always rainbows and sunshine. Huda revealed in an interview that she was on the verge of divorcing her husband because she was so preoccupied with work that she rarely made time for him at home.

There was even a time when Christopher was hospitalized for two weeks to treat a perforated ulcer and feared his wife would abandon him for work.
Huda, on the other hand, would never do such a thing to her husband. Fast forward to today, and everything is going swimmingly for these two, who are running a multi-million dollar business as a family.
