Prince Rahim al-Hussaini Aga Khan (Persian: رحیم الحسینی; born 12 October 1971), known as the Aga Khan V (Persian: آقاخان پنجم, romanized: Āqā Khān Panjum), is a religious leader, businessman, and socialite best known as the 50th hereditary Imam of the Shia Nizari Isma'ili Muslims who claim descent from Muhammad through his daughter, Fatima, and his cousin and son-in-law, Ali. Today, the Ismailis are the only Shi'i community who are led by a living and present hereditary Imam.
He is the second of the Aga Khan IV's four children, and succeeded his father as per his testament, upon his death on 4 February 2025, at his palace in Lisbon. He is also known by the religious title Mawlānā Hazar Imām (the present Imam) by his followers. He is the fifth Nizari imam to hold the title Aga Khan.
