Imran Khan, the man likely to be Pakistan's next prime minister, has had a colorful past.

Before entering politics in the mid-1990s, Khan was an Oxford scholar, world-renowned cricketer, and a playboy with a reputation on London's party scene.

His first two marriages were to a British socialite and a BBC weather presenter, who has since accused him of cheating and taking hard drugs. His third wife is a woman whose face he had never seen until after the wedding.

Khan's party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, has won more seats than its opponents in the country's general election, according to unofficial results. Khan himself has declared victory, but the result is yet to be made official.
