Fans have turned on the “Love Is Blind” contestant following his not-so-humble brags on the show.
Key Takeaways
- Leo Braudy, a contestant on season 7 of “Love is Blind,” is a 31-year-old art dealer from Washington, D.C.
- His constant bragging on the show has turned fans against him.
- He inherited his art dealing company from his grandparents following a family tragedy.
Love is Blind is back for another season and brings with it a whole new cast of interesting personalities looking to form a love connection on the show.
One of the newbies is Leo Braudy, an art dealer who loves reminding viewers and his pod dates about his lucrative job and impressive financial status.
Episode 1 of season 7, released on October 2, 2024, saw the 31-year-old wearing a Rolex, speaking Italian phrases, and questioning if his partner would be with him even if he didn’t have his wealth.
While he didn’t explicitly mention the size of his bank account or net worth, his persona and constant not-so-humble brags leave viewers wondering exactly what he is worth and how he came about it.
Leo Braudy’s LinkedIn profile’s about me section reads,
Third-generation owner of Capital Art Advisory, Washington, D.C.’s oldest and most trusted fine art advisory firm.

The page also lists him as the owner of GlassArt.net and Capital Art Advisory.
The rudimentary website of GlassArt, now Capital Art Advisory, reveals that Leo’s grandparents, Ethel and Arthur Furman, founded the business in 1970.
The ‘Our Story’ section of the website reads,
The two began dealing art and art consulting independently over 50 years ago. During this time, they represented governments, corporations, museums, other galleries, and numerous private individuals.

According to the website, Leo is the current CEO of the business.
Under Braudy’s leadership, the company moved to New York City but kept its ties to the D.C. market.
Capital Art Advisory serves domestic and international clients by providing art acquisition, investment, and collection management services.
Leo Braudy was born Zachary Leo Braudy on April 8, 1993, in Alexandria, Virginia.
Leo went to Rollins College and graduated in 2015 with a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations.
He then attended Sotheby’s Institute of Art for a Master’s degree in Art Business and Design, graduating in 2025.
While not much is known about his formative years, Leo did talk in the show about his pampered upbringing and a family tragedy.
In the first episode, Leo was paired with Brittany Wisniewski. He explained to her that he was “a big planner.”
He then shared,
My grandpa got cancer, died, my grandma got cancer, died, my mom got cancer, died, my dad got cancer and my stepdad got cancer all in three years and I’m an only child. While it happened relatively young, I’m unbelievably grateful for so many things,” he tells the other men on the show

Leo’s net worth is difficult to establish due to his company’s private status and his personal life’s lack of public exposure until recently.
While his Instagram does prove that he is an active member of the art dealing community, it lacks the glamor and party lifestyle one would expect of a young, wealthy individual, especially one who likes to brag about it as much as Leo.
After episode 1 aired, many viewers flocked to his social media accounts to verify his overbearing claims or learn more about him.
Many left comments as well. One read,
Hey quick question? Are you rich? Do you have money? Because I don’t feel like you said enough in this first episode I just started 😂😂😂😂

Another read,

I definitely think Leo murdered his entire family for that money. It makes sense why he keeps bringing it up. #LoveIsBlind pic.twitter.com/acpqotMc84

The net worth of art dealers can differ greatly, depending on their experience, location, and the size of their business.
Generally, art dealers across various regions earn an average of $55,000 per year, with the median income being approximately $50,000.
However, top earners in the industry, particularly those managing larger galleries or dealing in high-value art, can make significantly more, sometimes reaching into the millions.
