Not just white women, white women who are models, actresses and royalty in their own right. Aly was a notorious playboy.
The Aga Khan and his family are modern day aristocrats: good looking high status men who maintain the family lineage with infusion of good genes. They invest their money wisely and donate it to philanthropy, such as the various Aga Khan hospitals across the globe. At the same time, they keep a relatively low profile and none of them get into crazy Paris Hilton-like shit. Aly may be the exception, and it's unsurprising then that his dad (Aga Khan III) passed him up and made Aly's son the new Aga Khan, at the age of 20 no less.

I've generally had a dislike for the Aga Khans. I've never been able to put my finger on it. It might simply be because the 25 milliom Nizari Ismaelis are required to tithe, which goes directly to the Aga Khan family and their foundation. Maybe it's because I grew up in a community where the spiritual leaders were expected to live a far more modest life than the average person. Something about being the Imam of a group (which the Aga Khan is) yet living like aristocrats just seems a bit seedy.
Or maybe they're running some next-level game: having a deep understanding of human behavior, they use their status, connections and wealth to protect their flock (the Ismaelis) and I'm just a hater. If I recall correctly, the Ismaelis have been prosecuted across the Muslim world for a long time and the Aga Khan family had to flee to India for their own protection.

Despite having British citizenship, he spends most of his time at his French chateau in Aiglemont, a vast estate near Chantilly about 40 kilometres north of Paris. He grew up in Nairobi, studied in Switzerland and then graduated from Harvard.
The Aga Khan assumed the role of 49th Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims during his junior year at Harvard, succeeding his grandfather, His Highness Sultan Mohamed Shah Aga Khan III, at the age of 20. This is the first time in the family's 1,300-year history that a generation for the Imamat had been skipped over.

The Aga Khan’s relationship with the Trudeaus goes back to the 1970s when Ugandan dictator Idi Amin expelled Ismailis from his country. The Aga Khan called on then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to give his people a safe haven, and Canada took in 7,000 Ismailis.
“He was a pallbearer for my father’s funeral. He has known me since I was a toddler,” the prime minister said of the Aga Khan’s relationship with his family.
Today, an estimated 100,000 Ismailis live in Canada, and the Aga Khan enjoys ties to many of Ottawa’s political elites.
In 2008, the Aga Khan opened a de facto embassy to Canada in Ottawa.
For his ties to Canada and his reputation as a philanthropist, the Aga Khan has received praise from both Liberals and Conservatives: In 2009, he was named an honorary Canadian by then-Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
