Ryan Massoud
Rayan Ibrahim "Ryan" Massoud (born 3 August 1997) is an Arab-American entrepreneur, brothelier and procurer. He is widely-regarded to be one of the most prominent figures in the adult entertainment industry globally. His company Akbar Holdings owns more than 100 adult entertainment establishments in the United States, including the Bunny's brothel chain, the Suriya chain of brothel-bathhouses, and the popular Verdant Springs hammam in Chicago. He is also a minority investor in the iconic Crescent Palace Hotel in Naxos Bay, Saudi Arabia.
Massoud built his initial fortune by taking advantage of the legalization of prostitution in Michigan in 2034. Formerly an operator of underground salon clubs in the Detroit area, he acted quickly to invest in 18 out of the 50 brothels listed in the first batch to be awarded licenses by the state Adult Entertainment Commission.
In 2036, Massoud reorganized 7 of his brothels into a new chain called Bunny's, with an emphasis on affordability, quality and friendly service. This resulted in a substantial increase in brand recognition for both Bunny's and Massoud personally. By December 2038, there were 21 brothels under the Bunny's brand, with a presence in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and Georgia.
