What is Asma al-Assad's Net Worth?
Asma al-Assad, the First Lady of Syria, has an estimated net worth of $50 million. Born in London, England, in August 1975, Asma is the wife of Syria's 19th and current President, Bashar al-Assad. She graduated from King's College in London and pursued a career as an investment banker. Her marriage to Bashar al-Assad in December 2000 coincided with her plans to attend Harvard University.
After moving to Syria, Asma and Bashar have had three children together: son Hafez al-Assad in 2001, daughter Zein in 2003, and son Karim in 2004. She became the First Lady of Syria in December 2000 and has since engaged in numerous social and economic development initiatives. However, following the outbreak of the Syrian Civil War, she has faced economic sanctions from the European Union. Asma al-Assad has largely remained out of the public eye since July 2012, following a bombing at the Syrian Military Intelligence Directorate.
Despite the challenges, Asma al-Assad continues to influence social policies and remains an iconic figure in Syria's political landscape.
