Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Net Worth: $5 Million
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is an Iranian politician who was born on October 28, 1956 in Aradan, Iran. He entered the political arena after the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and joined the Revolutionary Guard. After four years as a provincial governor, he became a lecturer at Tehran’s University of Science and Technology and was subsequently elected as mayor of Tehran in 2003. In August of 2005, he was sworn in as the president of the Islamic Republic of Iran and won re-election in 2009 against former prime minister Mir-Hossein Mousavi. Ahmadinejad’s support comes in part from those who oppose U.S. foreign policy, and early on his rhetoric matched his promises to defy the U.S., most notably on the issue of Iran’s plans for nuclear technology. He made headlines in 2005, earning a United Nations rebuke, when he publicly opined that Israel should be “wiped off the map” and later described the Holocaust as a “myth.”
Limited to two terms by Iran’s constitution, he was succeeded in 2013 by Hassan Rouhani. Ahmadinejad is married and has one daughter and two sons. His oldest son married the daughter of Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei in 2008. On February 4, 2014, Ahmadinejad wrote an open letter to The News Time, offering his own reflective look at his presidency.
