Like Trump, Iran's new supreme leader is a real estate mogul, with a house on 'Billionaires' Row,' a villa in Dubai, and

upscale European hotels

Mojtaba Khamenei, who was named Iran’s new supreme leader over the weekend, shares something in common with President Donald Trump: They have both amassed global real estate empires.

The son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an airstrike when the war began, represents the Islamic Republic’s first hereditary succession.

The younger Khamenei is close to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the regime’s decision to elevate him to the top spot is seen as evidence hard-liners are in charge with little inclination to reach a deal that ends the war.

But before the conflict, he largely kept a low profile while accumulating assets around the world. A Bloomberg investigation in January found Khamenei has avoided putting investments in his own name, but they totaled more than $138 million.

Any time soon. That would be a quick way to get assassinated.
