Childhood

Diana Jenkins was born Sanela Dijana Ćatić in 1973 in Sarajevo. She was one of two children born into a middle-class household, the older of the two. She has an economist for a father and an accountant for a mother.

During the communist era in Yugoslavia at the time, the family lived in a modest concrete apartment building, a design that was popular. Irnis, Diana’s younger brother, tragically died at the age of 21 at the hands of Serb forces.

At the time of his assassination, Diana was a major in economics student at the University of Sarajevo. When conflict erupted in Bosnia in April 1992 during the Siege of Sarajevo, she was forced to flee the country.

As a result of Yugoslavia’s dissolution, war broke out. The harsh war continued until December 1995. Before moving to London, England, Jenkins first spent more than a year in Croatia as a refugee.

She was given the go-ahead to resume her studies at the City University of London after a two-year break. Diana made the right decision to prioritize math because grasping numbers do not need fluency in English.

After everything was said and done, she received a BSc in both computer science and economics (with honors).

In contrast to many of her fellow Yugoslavian immigrants, Diana was granted permanent citizenship at this time because of her extraordinary academic performance and the fact that she never once asked for any kind of government help.

Career

Diana pursued a number of jobs after graduating while saving up money to launch her own jewelry company in London.

Diana took advantage of the success of the jewelry business by working with model Melissa Odabash to jointly develop the Melissa Odabash swimwear line. Due to its tremendous success, celebrities like Kate Moss, Elle Macpherson, Heidi Klum, and others rapidly became lovers of the swimwear line.

The company, which is still highly successful, is still co-owned by Diana. Sanela’s name was changed to Sanela Diana Jenkins after she wed British banker Roger Jenkins in 1999. They got hitched in the gym.

Following a total of 10 years of marriage, Roger and Sanela divorced, leaving behind two children. In a statement, they reportedly afterward referred to their divorce as “the best divorce ever.”

Sanela Diana Jenkins is also the brains behind the range of nutritional drinks called Neuro Drinks and the Melissa Odabash line of swimwear.

The business Neuro Drinks markets itself as a healthy alternative to coffee and soda. The company sells products that encourage good sleep, lower stress, strengthen immunity, and give people more vitality. Sanela is the company’s chairwoman and CEO.

Real Estate

In June 2020, Sanela Diana Jenkins announced that her Malibu home was going up for sale. A $125 million purchase was made.

Sanela spent $21 million to purchase the house at the start of the new millennium. She allegedly came across the property while house-hunting with her buddy, singer Kid Rock.

Kid was meant to be searching for a residence for himself while Diana was scheduled to spend $21 million.

In February 2021, it came to light that she had paid $87 million for the home, which she had sold to Jan Koum, the creator of WhatsApp.
