upscale European hotelsMojtaba Khamenei, who was named Irans 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 Republics first hereditary succession.
The younger Khamenei is close to Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the regimes 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.
