Mani Khoshbin does not have money and a good business. If he did, he would not be on instagram. His maximum Net Worth is 20 Million dollars

Prefect
They are all jewish
And what if they “all” are, as you put it. Does that mean they’re not, or can’t be, Persian?
Perhaps you don’t know, Persian Jewish people had lived in that land a thousand years before anyone called “Reza” invited himself over.
Really???
Our wonderfull Jewish countrymen were always very hard working and smart. Well done dear Iranians. We are very proud of you and your achievements.

Giving to medical research
Totes had a crush on him the first time I saw him on “The Hills”. Yay for wealthy Iranians hehe….
this list is incomplete, Parsis businessmen in India are also persian origin and some of them are richest in the world , e.g tata group, godrej group, shapoorji Pallanji etc.
Is Bijan not worthy of the list – may he rest in peace.
I thought he would be worthy of this list too… but I guess not..
Arash khan, Damet garm !

خوب ثروت این ها چه ربطی به من دارد؟ امیدوارم به ثروت آ نها افزوده شود ولی چه عزت و احترامی برای من دارد؟از این فرهنگ ریا کاری و چاپلوسی دست بکشیم.آنها که هیچ افتخاری به شما نمی کنند چون نیازی به این کار ندارند و پول و ثروت آنها هم به هر حال به هر طریقی که به دست آورده اند نتیجه کار خودشان بوده،اینخا من چه کاره ام که در به در دنبال افتخارم؟
گیرم پدر تو بود فاضل
ازفضل پدر تورا چه حاصل .
