| This English socialite cum philanthropist cum socialite again is no daddy's princess. Though Jemima Khan is worth millions, she has spearheaded charities for Afghan refugees, launched a fashion business and even dabbled in politics while married to a top Pakistani government official. |
 |
| Jemima surprised her native England when she married Imran Khan, Pakistani cricket legend and member of the country's National Assembly. After years of crusading with her husband against corruption and fighting for refugees' rights, she divorced him and moved back to England, where she found a new love in actor Hugh Grant. |

Jemima Goldsmith was born to a wealthy London tycoon and his mistress on January 30, 1974. Her father, Sir James Goldsmith, brought Jemima up in the height of luxury, raising her as a true aristocrat.
Jemima seemed suited to the lifestyle that she was born into, and from a young age, she demonstrated a natural talent for horsemanship. But the girl shunned the equestrian life and chose academia instead, enrolling in Bristol University's prestigious English literature program. Jemima's studies further fueled her innate curiosity about the world, and her interests soon shifted to religious matters, specifically Islam and its clear messages about life on Earth. The faith took on even greater relevance for Jemima in 1995, when she met 42-year-old former cricketer and practicing Muslim Imran Khan in a posh London nightclub. The two fell in love and were married later that year in Paris.
The wedding reception was a real who's who of London society. Jemima, a philanthropist at heart, asked guests for donations to a cancer hospital in lieu of wedding gifts.
The newlyweds moved to Pakistan, where Imran led the Movement for Justice Party, a political movement that aimed to root out rampant corruption in the country. Jemima quickly learned Urdu (Pakistan's official language) and began speaking at her husband's rallies, earning the admiration of the public and becoming a national sweetheart of sorts. |
