Lee Najjar — best known to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” fans as Kim Zolciak’s elusive “Big Poppa” sugar daddy — has died at 68.
The wealthy Atlanta real estate investor passed away Saturday, April 18 — tragic news confirmed by his daughter Katelin via a slate of IG Story pictures of them together and an emotional tribute. Lee’s cause of death is unknown.
The Miami-Dade Medical Examiner also confirmed his death to TMZ.
Najjar became a notorious off-camera figure during the early seasons of ‘RHOA’ — as the mystery man bankrolling Zolciak’s luxe lifestyle — all while he was still reportedly married to another woman.
He and his wife shared four children together — Jared, Jeremy, Katelin and Jamen Najjar.
“Big Poppa” was never fully shown on camera, but his presence loomed large … fueling one of the show’s juiciest early storylines and helping cement ‘Housewives’ as must-watch TV.
