Also known as Mr. Wonderful, explains why he feels better than ever before and his new entrepreneurial routine in the UAE.
Kevin O’Leary, the outspoken Shark Tank investor, is expanding his footprint in the UAE with a new partnership with One Development, but his connection to the region goes far beyond real estate. During his recent visit to Abu Dhabi, O’Leary highlighted the country’s rising role in global investment, the region’s draw for entrepreneurs, and, most notably, the advanced medical therapies he relies on to sustain his energy and performance at age 70. At the center of those treatments is EBOO therapy (extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation), which he describes as one of his most important longevity tools.
Why O’Leary keeps returning to the UAE
O’Leary maintains residency in the Emirates and considers it one of the most exciting hubs for innovation and mobility. From cutting-edge tech to high-growth real estate and a modern regulatory environment, he says the UAE offers a level of accessibility and efficiency that investors rarely find elsewhere.
One Development and a new model for tech-integrated real estate
His partnership with One Development stems from what he calls a truly unified approach to smart living. Unlike traditional smart homes that rely on multiple apps, One Development consolidates security, environmental controls, appliances, and more into a single integrated platform. The Laguna Residences project impressed him enough that he plans to live there himself.
He also noted the company’s geographical diversification, including a major development in Cairo, which aligns with his long-standing connection to Egypt.
Why the UAE remains attractive to global capital
O’Leary points to policy, stability, and access as the main factors that make the UAE a magnet for global investors. With competitive tax structures, rapid permitting, and strong infrastructure, he sees the region as the “capital of capital” and one of the world’s most efficient investment platforms.
His advice for founders and investors
He emphasized geographic diversification for investors who want insulation from the volatility of Western markets. For entrepreneurs, his formula remains consistent: condense your pitch to 90 seconds, prove you can execute, and know your numbers without hesitation.
AI as a strategic multiplier
O’Leary invests heavily in AI for content production, customer acquisition, and workflow optimization, viewing it as a critical accelerator across multiple verticals.
EBOO therapy: O’Leary’s core longevity regimen
While he speaks often about entrepreneurship and investing, O’Leary was unequivocal about the role EBOO therapy plays in maintaining his physical and cognitive performance. He undergoes EBOO every time he’s in the UAE, calling the country’s longevity clinics world-class and several years ahead of the West in both technology and technique.
He describes EBOO as a full-cycle blood cleansing and oxygenation process. Blood is withdrawn, filtered, oxygenated, and ozonated before being reinfused. Immediately afterward, he receives an infusion of 50 billion exosomes, which he says helps reduce systemic inflammation and supports deeper recovery.
According to O’Leary, combining EBOO with exosome therapy gives him the energy levels he associates with being “30, not 70.” He credits these treatments with heightened mental clarity, quicker recovery, and sustained performance throughout his demanding travel and work schedule.
In his words, “The UAE has prioritized healthcare innovation for decades. That’s why the best tools and the best doctors are here.”
Resetting the mind and staying grounded
Even with intense travel and a full investment calendar, O’Leary keeps his daily reset simple: a 12-mile bike ride to clear his head. He avoids overreacting to short-term wins or losses, convinced that strong execution over time is what determines outcomes.
Influences and personal markers
O’Leary cites Steve Jobs as an early professional influence, particularly the discipline of focusing on the “signal” rather than the noise. He also noted that Elon Musk operates at a level of focus he has rarely seen matched.
As for his trademark two watches, he wears one set to Abu Dhabi time and the other to New York, a nod to both his international lifestyle and his passion for collectible timepieces.
