“It is 30 years since Pervez, 72, started his cash-and-carry business in Britain. Profits at London-based Bestway were up 27% at £73m in 2005-06 . We value the business at £1 billion with the family stake at £508m. There are other assets. The family gives large amounts to charity”
Made his fortune from scratch… what a legend! Also includes United Bank and Bestway Cement in Pakistan..
He is British. He started his business in England in 60s - is British naitonal.
I think he first started his Bestway cement business in Pakistan in mid-90s..
so technically, not considered to be a Pakistani....

well technically, he hasnt surrendered his Pakistani nationality. moving to britain is one of the step he might have taken.
me and him have same nationalities both are born in Pakistan. i would never ever like to branded as only british and not Pakistani.
I was born in Britain, moved to Pakistan when I was two and half and came back to Britain when I was eleven.
You probably think Mujay Urdu Nahi Aaati Tay Nahi Minu Punjabi Avandi Hai, and as a result in your pathetic opinion many of us like me are no longer Pakistanis.
YOUR A SCUM BAG.
Man, if you said something like that to my face, i’ll kick your head off and rip your flippin ears off.
Please relax - and plz avoid using the language that you’re using.
Well, i really didn’t mean what you’re thinking. I was only saying that he is considered to be British in papers and in these rich people lists… Bestway Group is considered to be a Britsh Company… a company that has a couple of its divisions in Pakistan.
I might know him a lot more than you do - i would never say anything negative about him
we all are surely proud of him. he started his business from scratch and took it to the top level. He has done a lot of investment in Pakistan - not only in cement industry but also in rice too.
His social work achievements are great - not a lot of people know because he doesn’t publicize it but he has spent a lot of money in this area…
a very humble & a great gentleman :k:
^^^ I dont know the details, all i know Agha Khan II or III was very active in Pakistan movement and creation of Pakistan. If his ancestors were from persia. many turks, afghans, arabs, indians were ancestors of many Present day Pakistanis.
The largest ismaili population live in Pakistan until present time. (in Kalash Area of Chitral)
AK3 He was born in Karachi but his PARENTS , not ancestors, were both persians from persia. both from the persian royal family. that makes him a persian. (not pakistani)
The current aga khan is like only a quarter persian and 3 quarters european (not pakistani)
so what if he holds shares in habib bank. He also owns hundreds of companies all over the world in france italy africa etc etc. That doesnt make him a citizen of each country.
True, prince aly khan represented pakistan at the UN and ak3 was one of the most instrumental figures in bringing about the creation of pakistan... but that is mainly because they have a long history of service to muslim people and were trying to help out mostly... they wouldnt say that they are 'pakistani'
