About Ahmad Reza Pahlavi

Lived 1925 – 1981 (aged 55–56). Ahmad Reza Pahlavi was an Iranian.

Ahmad Reza Pahlavi (; 27 September 1925 – 1981) was an Iranian prince of the Pahlavi dynasty. He was a son of Reza Shah and a half-brother of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

Biography Ahmad Reza Pahlavi was born on 27 September 1925. He received primary education in Iran and then went to Switzerland for secondary education. He enrolled in Tehran's military school but following his father's abdication in 1941 he moved with him to South Africa. Three years later, he went to Beirut to continue his education and following his father's death he returned to Iran.

Ahmad Reza was not active in economical, political or social arenas and rarely appeared in court. His residence on the north side of the Sa'dabad Complex and near the gate of Darband was built during his father's reign. Unlike other structures within the Sa'dabad Complex, which have more prominent architecture both in the facade and interior, it is a simple building with two floors and a private garage and lacks special architectural decorations. Based on the historical documents in the Sa'dabad Documentation Center, it seems that Ahmad Reza lived a distant and somewhat isolated life in this building compared to other members of the Pahlavi family. After the Iranian Revolution, he and his family left Iran. He died in 1981 after suffering from leukemia.
