With Briatore at the helm, Billionaire has grown exponentially and, today, it is synonymous with glamour, creativity, and exceptional food.In its conception days, Briatore wished to create a nightclub that could bring back the allure and buzz to Costa Smeralda, tantamount with the Italian dolce vita. With intuition, vision, and sharp business sense, Briatore established a venue that quickly became a favourite destination amongst the international jet setting crowd too.The bold name chosen by Briatore is because, in his own words: ‘even if a bit arrogant... it’s a name you don’t forget’ and the nightclub’s fame soon turned Billionaire into a prestigious brand renowned for its outstanding service, excellent music and entertainment in an exhilarating atmosphere. So much so that the world’s most legendary names and prominent figures frequent Billionaire venues around the world.Where delicious food meets thrilling performances, Billionaire Doha is the place to be when the sun goes down.

In return, there is a showcase of the brand at the main reception at Billionaire Doha on that evening.Guests are enveloped in an evening that sets the bar high by constantly changing special displays, lighting, and colours, as well as delectable food designed to satisfy everyone.An easy and natural interaction and flow between Billionaire’s food and the extraordinary show, alongside the venue playing host to some of the best and most memorable evenings, is enough reason to recognise that the team at Billionaire really have earned their status as the true Masters of Extravaganza.
