Aga Khan IV Dies At Age 88

A successor is yet to be named for The Aga Khan’s spiritual title, but his daughter Princess Zahra Aga Khan has become an active participant in the Thoroughbred business, and a Group 1-winning breeder. In 1998, he married Princess Gabriele of Leiningen, who assumed the name Begum Inaara Aga Khan at her wedding. Born to Roman Catholic German entrepreneur parents in 1963, Gabriele was 27 years younger than the Aga Khan. Two years after the wedding, the Aga Khan became a father again at the age of 64, with the birth of a son, Aly Muhammad Aga Khan, born on 7 March 2000.
