Hotels in Majorca and Austria, luxury property in London/ Rumor has it that he will succeed his father as Supreme Leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, with staggering wealth

Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the one expected to take over as Iran's most powerful man, runs a giant network of real estate deals abroad through brokers, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing a year-long investigation.
No assets appear directly in Mojtaba's name, but he has been actively involved in deals dating back at least to 2011, according to Western intelligence assessments, insider accounts, real estate records and confidential documents reviewed by Bloomberg.
The portfolio includes luxury properties in London worth more than $138 million (one purchased for $46.5 million in 2014), a villa in an elite neighborhood of Dubai, and luxury hotels in Frankfurt and Mallorca.
The funding, largely from Iranian oil sales, moved through British, Swiss, Liechtenstein and UAE banks via shell companies such as Ziba Leisure Ltd., Birch Ventures Ltd. and Emirati entities, as traced by the report.
Iranian banker Ali Ansari, sanctioned by the UK in October, appears as an owner or director in many of the transactions. Ansari denies any connection to Mojtaba and plans to challenge the sanctions, the report said.
The sanctions against Ansari were imposed on suspicion of financing Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and building a European property portfolio worth around 400 million euros, according to a Financial Times investigation based on corporate filings.
The Financial Times reported that the assets include luxury properties in several European countries, ranging from a golf resort in Mallorca to a ski hotel in Austria.
