Danny Lambo, the British billionaire who is well-known for his extravagant lifestyle and love of expensive cars, has reverted to Islam and publicly announced his decision on social media. Previously going by Danny Kern, Lambo changed his name to honor his love of the venerable Lamborghini supercar.
Lambo posted a moving experience from his spiritual journey on Instagram: doing the Umrah in Masjid al-Haram in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. He discussed the unpredictable nature of life in a touching piece, sharing how an unplanned work trip resulted in him setting off on a life-changing spiritual and emotional journey.
Lambo was drawn to Makkah after finishing his business commitments ahead of schedule, and that’s where his spiritual enlightenment began. His Instagram post, which featured moving moments of awe at the Kaaba where tears of emotion were streaming freely, demonstrated the depth of his newly discovered faith. Lambo’s reversion to Islam represents a pivotal period in his life, one marked by resiliency and introspection.
A self-made millionaire and entrepreneur, Lambo first gained notoriety in 2017 as a competitor on The X Factor’s 14th season. Lambo, originally from Croydon, gained notoriety for his flamboyant demeanor and passion for luxury– especially Italian supercars like Lamborghinis.
Lambo had an unusual path to stardom. He disregarded expectations and built out a successful career. His booming hotel business in London is the main source of his income, which is estimated to be more than £50 million.
