Second Marriage: General Mohammad Khatami
In August 1959, Fatemeh Pahlavi divorced Hillyer and later that year married General Mohammad Khatami. This marriage brought three more children: a daughter named Pari and two sons, Kambyz and Ramin Khatami. Unfortunately, Mohammad Khatami met a tragic end in 1975 when he died in a hang gliding accident near Dez Dam.
Business Ventures and the Persepolis Cultural and Sports Club
Fatemeh Pahlavi was a prominent businesswoman and one of the main shareholders of the C.R.C. Company, which established the Persepolis Cultural and Sports Club in 1964. This club played a significant role in promoting sports and cultural activities in Iran.
The Abdo’s Bowling Fire Incident
Shortly before the Islamic Revolution, a fire broke out at Abdo’s bowling alley, a building associated with the Pahlavi family. The insurance payout was made to Fatemeh, which sparked rumors that the fire was intentional, orchestrated by her agents. This incident added to the complex narrative surrounding her business dealings and the political turmoil of the time.
