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 the spiritual leader of some 20 million Ismaili Muslims, who donate money to him their leader, or 'bringer of light'.

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]

In 2008, French president Nicolas Sarkozy, using an obscure diplomatic 'courtesy' fiscal status, 'exonerated' him from paying any tax at all. He is a personal friend of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, the Spanish king Juan Carlos.

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.[12][13][14][15]

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.
