Masrour Barzani, the prime minister of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, is the secret owner of a shiny retail building at 938 Washington in the heart of South Beach, Miami, that houses a 12,000-square-foot CVS, according to a new report.
Barzani bought the $18.3 million building in 2019, according to American Prospect magazine.
His family — which has ruled the area and much of its riches for decades — has also been outed as the buyer of some California mansions.
In 2019, Variety reported that two massive Beverly Hills mansions — boasting Corinthian columns, hand-carved architectural moldings and gold leaf — totaling $47 million were bought by Barzani-linked entities to create a compound.
“They are extremely wealthy, and [they] … don’t want you to know who they are and how they got their money,” Vanity Fair reported.
