# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Shah Karim al-Hussaini became the 49th Imam of Nizari Isma'ili Shia Islam on 13 December 1957, inheriting the role and the Aga Khan title from his grandfather, Sultan Muhammad Shah. His followers called him Mawlānā Hazar Imam. He founded and chaired the Aga Khan Development Network, a private development apparatus. By 2013, Vanity Fair pegged his net worth above $13.3 billion. He held no political sovereignty or territory, yet the scale of his spiritual authority and wealth placed him on Forbes' list of the fifteen richest royals. He died on 4 February 2025, sixty-eight years into his imamate.
