In 1989, he graduated from Nikan High School in Tehran, which was funded by a conservative religious group before Iran's revolution in order to provide students, from elementary to high school, with a non-secular education.
In the same year, he entered University of Tehran to study civil engineering but later changed his major. He has also studied in Belgium.[1]
Yaser owns a 30-acre horse farm in Lavasan (known as Iran's Beverly Hills) which in 2003 was estimated to be worth around US$120 million. He runs a large import-export firm that trades in industrial machinery, baby food, and bottled water.[1]
