Yasser Hashemi Rafsanjani (Persian: یاسر هاشمی رفسنجانی; born 1971) is the youngest son of Ali 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 Tehran University to study Civil Engineering but later changed his major. He has also studied in Belgium.[1]
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.
