That doesn't look like a succulent (even if you bought it at a succulent show) - the leaves aren't fleshy enough. Its fascinating. Send the photo to your local plant nursery to get the name. Good luck.
Talk with the folks at The Green Gate in Seguin, Texas. They will know that plant. They are well known for having the strange and unusual plants.

Pregnant Onion
I use an app that identifies plants by photo on my smartphone. It is a free app called PictureThis. It gives you several choices of plants that look like your photo. Free for the first 15 uses. It agrees with the other responders that it is a Pregnant Onion (family of Asparagaceae. It is a flowering tropical east Africa (South African) plant used for potting
It is a pregnant onion.. The little bulblets attached to the mother bulb are the babies, (hence the name " pregnant onion" )and when planted will be new lovely plants on their own.. They sometimes drop off and root on their own, in the soil... It has a forever long stem with long , long, long cluster white flowers...
The pregnant onion will get lots of little bulbs on the side of the mother plant they will fall off and make new plants in the soil if it's in the bright light it will get a blossom stem that comes out of the middle and has white blossoms. Bright light not direct sunlight. If the bulb gets mushy it's dehydrated give it more water
Thank you all, it is a pregnant onion.
