Shāh Karim al-Husayni[1] known by the religious title Mawlana Hazar Imam by his Ismaili followers and elsewhere as Aga Khan IV,[2] is the 49th and current Imam of Nizari Ismailis, a denomination within Shia Islam. He has held the position of imam and the title of Aga Khan since 11 July 1957,[3] when, at the age of 20, he succeeded his grandfather, Sir Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III.
The Aga Khan is a business magnate with British and Portuguese citizenship,[4][5][6][7][8][9] as well as a racehorse owner and breeder. Aga Khan's net worth has been estimated at $13.3 billion.[10] Forbes describes the Aga Khan as one of the world's fifteen richest royals. Additionally he is unique among the richest royals as he does not rule over a geographic territory.[11]
Among the goals the Aga Khan has said he works toward are the elimination of global poverty; the promotion and implementation of religious pluralism;[12] the advancement of the status of women; and the honoring of Islamic art and architecture.[13][14][15][16][17] He is the founder and chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network, one of the largest private development networks in the world. The organisation works toward improvement of the environment, health, education, architecture, culture, microfinance, rural development, disaster reduction, the promotion of private-sector enterprise and the revitalisation of historic cities.[14][17][18][19][20][21]
Family
His uncle, Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, was a specialist in running intelligence operations under humanitarian cover. Prince Sadruddin was deeply involved in providing safe haven for the Afghan mujahideen, and facilitating their dispersal throughout the world.
Private island
In 2015 prime minister Justin Trudeau and his family accepted flights and a stay at the Aga Khans secluded private island in the Bahamas. The Khan has longtime connections to the family. He was a pallbearer at the funeral of his father, the late prime minister Pierre Trudeau.[22] Also Liberal politician Seamus O’Regan and Liberal party president Anna Gainey went there.
Aga Khan Foundation
Since his ascension to the Imamate of the Nizari Ismailis in 1957, the Aga Khan has been involved in complex political and economic changes which have affected his followers, including the independence of African countries from colonial rule, the expulsion of Asians from Uganda, the independence of Central Asian countries such as Tajikistan from the former Soviet Union and the continuous turmoil in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Aga Khan IV became the first faith leader to address the Joint Session of the Parliament of Canada on 27 February 2014.[23]
The Aga Khan Foundation is the principal grant-making agency for social development within the Aga Khan Development Network. The monies collected by Aga Khan Foundation are distinct from those collected within the Ismaili Centers around the world from members of the community which are also cited for lack of transparency. A 2005 Bloomberg report indicated that unlike the pope, who was paid a salary of $51.7 million in 2004, the Aga Khan refuses to disclose how much he or the AKDN raise each year from their followers nor how it is allocated. And he won’t give performance figures for the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development SA, a Geneva-based holding company that owns stakes in 90 companies. All profits and dividends from the companies and projects are reinvested, he says. In addition to money from his Ismaili followers, the Aga Khan obtains bank loans and grants from western governments and aid organizations to finance his empire[24]
In 2015, the Aga Khan Foundation Canada spearheaded a report outlining funding strategies to meet financial goals required to implement the United Nations Agenda 2030. They called for a broad partnership between governments, agencies, foundations, and corporations to determine a detailed costing for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in order to meet global health challenges over the next 15 years. The report “Innovative Financing Mechanisms for Health” included the World Health Organization (WHO), The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI), and UNITAID (which consists of George Soros, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Clinton Global Health Initiatives.[25]
