The new reality star introduced himself in the first episode as a finance manager and restaurant owner. He claimed that his financial success has hurt his love life.

“I want to get married at first sight because I want a woman that is not after me for my money,” he said. “She’s intelligent, submissive, sexy, good in bed, and a freak.”

Williams also made it known that he wants a big family by having at most seven kids. “Your last name is your brand. Your last name is your business,” he then said. He hoped the experts would help him reach his goal of being in a power couple.

He also opened up about his past. Williams was an ordained minister but wasn’t making money. There was a point where he was living in his car for four months. He claimed his life turned around when he got a six-figure job being a finance manager.

Williams was engaged twice before. The first one didn’t work because he wasn’t making money at the time.

He owns a Subway franchise

The businessman has talked a lot about his money and success on the show. But he didn’t give all the details about how he makes his money.

He owns a Subway franchise and became the youngest owner of one in Atlanta, according to Black Enterprise. His store is located in East Cobb and it relaunched recently. Some fans were surprised to find out about his work given what he said about it on the show.

However, he did come a long way from being homeless. Time will tell if fans will be able to see the Subway on the show.

He was matched with Paige Banks

Paige Banks was picked by the experts to be Williams’ bride. She didn’t talk as much about money before their wedding.

The 26-year-old accountant and realtor talked about wanting to find someone who is committed. She also wants children and wants a motivated partner. Banks often talked about religion being important to her.

On paper it seems like the couple is on the same page with children and finances. But fans still have yet to see how their marriage will play out. Drama has yet to come given Williams last engagement ended three months before they got married.
