Ex-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto once said, "Nasir Schon is an enterprise." Starting off in Singapore in 1982, the peek of Schon group was in 1995 when they owned National Fibres, Schon Bank, Schon Textiles and Pak-China Fertizilers. Famous for the trend-setting roundabout, Schon Circle, Nasir Schon is also known to be one of the first Pakistanis to own a Rolls-Royce. Directors of the Schon group flew to Dubai in 1997 in exile after the dismissal of ex-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. The directors of Schon group were known to have close contacts with her husband and current President Asif Ali Zardari. Many assets of the Schon group were auctioned by the Nawaz Sharif government. A deal was made with the government in 2005 and the Director's of Schon Group were allowed to come back to Pakistan. The Schon Group is the only one in Pakistan who has paid the government over 3 billion rupees in order to return from exile. Living in Dubai gave Nasir Schon an opportunity to start businesses there. Currently working on an $830 million real estate project known as Dubai Lagoon, the Schon group is also fighting to get back the assets they once lost. Sons, Khizer Schon and Asher Schon focus on day-to-day operations at Schon Properties, and at the same time working for Schon Group in Pakistan.
