Once again, the attention turned to the personal life of the 84-year-old leader and his enormous wealth. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is Iran's Supreme Leader and one of the most powerful people in the world. As far as his wealth is concerned, although his official income is small, some accounts state he manages billions of dollars worth of revenue and assets through various organizations, therefore making him one of the wealthiest leaders in the world. When Khamenei warned Trump... Earlier on June 27, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had strongly criticised US President Donald Trump's call for Iran's surrender, describing it as "too big to come out of his mouth." "The US President stated, "Iran must surrender." Needless to say, this statement is too big to come out of the US president's mouth," Khamenei wrote on X. Iran is a country remarkably well-known for its strict application of the Hijab law (Hijab and Chastity Bill). Not only do laws related to the Hijab not allow for individual discretion, but non-compliance with hijab laws can also lead to considerable punishments - from large fines, incarceration, and education bans, to employment bans with travel restrictions. When did Ayatollah Ali Khamenei come to power in Iran? For 44 years, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been in power in Iran, and he has married only once (1964), to Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh. Mansoureh, who is now 78 years of age, was born in 1947 in Mashhad province of Iran to a devout Persian family with their fair share of privilege. Her father, Mohammad Esmail Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, was a businessperson, and her brother, Hasan Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, was the deputy director of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting(IRIB). She practices Islam and is of Persian ethnic origin. The couple has six children (four sons and two daughters). Who are Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's children, and how many does he have? Khamenei's Sons:

• Mojtaba Khamenei
• Masoud Khamenei
• Mostafa Khamenei
• Meysam Khamenei

Khamenei's Daughters:

• Hoda Khamenei
• Boshra Khamenei

Who is Boshra Khamenei? Boshra Khamenei, the daughter of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was born in the 1980s in Mashhad, Iran. She is around 40 years old. Boshra was raised in a religious family and follows Islam, specifically the Shia sect, due to strong clerical influences in her family. Ethnically, Boshra is Persian. However, much of the information about her personal life is kept private, as the Khamenei family is particularly careful about privacy. A six-month investigation conducted by Reuters disclosed that Khamenei controls a huge financial empire through an entity called Setad (Execution of Imam Khomeini's Order). In 2013, Reuters estimated the assets of Setad to be approximately $95 billion. However, other reports have suggested that this could be as high as $200 billion, citing U.S. officials' estimates. What is Ayatollah Khamenei's personal fortune, and how was it accumulated? Ayatollah Khamenei's personal fortune, particularly via Setad, is estimated to be worth between $95 billion and $200 billion. His sons Mojtaba, Masoud, and Meysam also reportedly own assets in the millions to billions. Despite enforcing strict hijab laws, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is a polarizing figure on the world stage as a wealthy and private man. Although claiming to value simplicity, his financial empire in the range of $95 billion-$200 billion raises many questions.
