Begum Inaara Aga Khan is the former name and title of Princess Gabriele of Leiningen (born 1 April 1963 in Frankfurt am Main), also previously known as Princess Inaara Aga Khan, and was the second wife of the Aga Khan IV, the 49th Imam of the Nizari branch of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims. From May 1998 to March 2014, Gabriele was married to Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, the 49th Imam (religious leader) of the Ismailis and held the title Begum Aga Khan during the marriage.
Begum Inaara, born as Gabriele Renate Homey, is the daughter of a family of successful German entrepreneurs, Renate Thyssen-Henne (née Kerkhoff) and Helmut Friedhelm Homey. Early in life she adopted the surname "Thyssen" name from her stepfather Bodo Thyssen (member of the Thyssen family).
After attending the Schloss Salem School on Lake Constance and the École des Roches in Normandy she read jurisprudence at the Universities of Munich and Cologne. In 1990, Gabriele graduated magna cum laude with a doctorate in International Law after completing her thesis on German-American commercial law. Her early career included working, whilst still at university, in the management of her mother’s company (at the time Austria’s largest hotel and restaurant chain) and later as an associate attorney for a German law firm.
