'Nasser David Khalili' (born 1945) is an Iranian-born Jewish property developer, a cousin of Israeli minister, Shaul Mofaz[1] art collector and philanthropist, based in London.
In the ''Sunday Times Rich List 2007'' ranking of the wealthiest people in the UK he was placed 5th with an estimated fortune of £5,800 million.[2] This included an estimated value of £4,500 million for his art collection. In May 2007 ''The Art Newspaper'' questioned that valuation, up from £500 million the previous year.[3]
His Islamic art collection extends to 20,000 items and is the largest of its kind held privately in the world.[4]
He founded the Nasser D. Khalili Chair of Islamic Art at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. At the University of Oxford he established a research fellowship in Islamic Art and endowed The Khalili Research Centre for the Art and Material Culture of the Middle East.[5][6]
In a law of contract case in 2005, Savills failed to wind up Khalili's main property company in a bid to obtain £1m commission on the sale of the UK's most expensive house. The High Court struck out the winding–up petition, brought by Savills, Beauchamp Estates and Glentree Estates after Khalili's company Favermead had refused to pay fees on the £70m sale of the house to industrialist Lakshmi Mittal in a dispute as to whether any commission was payable if the agents had not been the effective cause of the sale.[7]
