Yasser Hashemi Rafsanjani

Yasser Hashemi Rafsanjani (Persian: یاسر هاشمی رفسنجانی; born 1971) is the youngest son of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the former president of Iran.

In 1989, he graduated from Nikan High School in Tehran, which was funded by a conservative religious group before Iran's revolution in order to provide the students, from elementary to high school, with a non-secular education.

In the same year, he entered University of Tehran to study Civil engineering but later changed his major. He has also studied in Belgium.

He has held different positions in the Iranian government and is also a businessman. He runs a large export-import firm that includes baby food, bottled water and industrial machinery. He has been so successful that he "owns a 30-acre horse farm in the super-fashionable Lavasan neighborhood of north Tehran, where land goes for over $4 million an acre." He is married and has a daughter named Lili.
