Afghan President's Son Also Uses 'Appa Chance' Following Daughter... Luxurious Life in the US

▲Tariq Ghani (39), son of Ashraf Ghani, President of Afghanistan

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] As the Afghan president fled abandoning his people after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, he has been criticized, and it has been revealed that his son, following his daughter, is living a luxurious life in the United States.

According to the British Daily Mail on the 23rd (local time), Tarek Ghani (39), son of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, worked as a senior economist for two years at the International Crisis Group (ICG), a non-profit organization dealing with international conflict issues, and recently returned to his professorship at the prestigious private university Saint Louis Washington University. He lives in a luxury home in Washington.

The think tank Global Development Center, where he worked, said his dedication to global prosperity and poverty eradication shows not only who he is but also where he comes from.

Despite his background in international conflict work, when reporters came to his home asking about the current Afghan situation, he refused to answer and closed the door, the media reported.

A few hours later, he was spotted enjoying shopping. He visited luxury watch and leather goods stores and then sat at an outdoor caf? chatting with acquaintances.

Tarek currently resides with his wife in a luxury home with three bedrooms and three bathrooms located about 1 km from the U.S. Capitol in Washington DC.

The house was purchased by the couple in 2018 for $959,000 (about 1.1 billion KRW), but prices have soared since the pandemic, and it is now worth about $1.2 million (about 1.4 billion KRW). The area where they live ranks in the top 7% nationwide for real estate prices.

Tarek was born in the U.S. and grew up in Maryland with his family.

He majored in international security at Stanford University and earned both his master's and doctoral degrees at UC Berkeley. While attending Stanford, he took a one-year leave of absence to work as an aide to his father, who was then Afghanistan’s finance minister. This experience is said to have influenced his later career.

His sister, Mariam Ghani, is currently active as an artist and filmmaker in New York and joined the faculty of Bennington College in 2018. Like Tarek, she remained silent when asked by reporters about the current Afghan situation.
