Every season of the hit Netflix series has to have that kind of man. Love Is Blind is known for bringing in interesting people from all walks of life on their show, and season 7’s Leo is no exception.
All eyes were on Leo during his time in The Pods after he pursued both Brittany and Hannah. He obviously favored Hannah because according to him, they were “twin flames.” They spent some time together and Leo candidly told Hannah what he did for a living. After Hannah decided to settle with Nick, Leo threw a tantrum and decided to continue things with Brittany. He later proposed to her, but after episode 5, the show revealed that they spent some time in Miami together and the two called off their engagement.

What does Love Is Blind‘s Leo do for a living?
Leo is an art dealer and CEO of Capital Art Advisory (formerly Ethel A. Furman & Associates), which is based in New York City. He inherited his family company from his grandparents Ethel and Arthur Furman and is a third-generation owner of the company according to his LinkedIn. “I actually own it now,” Leo said at the beginning of the show. “I 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’t pass up.”
The company’s website states that he attends “major art fairs and regularly lectures on the business of art, including procuring, investing, and collection management.” The website also says that he’s working on a book that deals with those topics and has started advising collectors on blue chip NFTs. Currently, he does man-on-the-street interviews on his Instagram where he talks about the business of art in Washington Square Park in downtown Manhattan.
Though to some people, his job and earnings might be impressive. But Hannah wasn’t so moved by him revealing his job to her. “Maybe I was wearing rose-colored glasses or something, but for me, I knew money was a thing, but I didn’t think it was as big [of a deal],” she told People about their dates in The Pods. “And again, you have to remember, I’m not seeing him in his Rolex and his suits and how he carries himself.”
“So, yeah, he talked about it. But I guess for me, it just never was like, ‘Oh my God, this guy won’t shut up about how rich he is,” she added. “I just knew that’s what Jennifer Lawrence’s husband [Cooke Maroney] does… And I was like, ‘I think that means money.’ I don’t know. I was confused. And then the more he went on and stuff, I understood, but I didn’t really realize till later on, maybe.”
