He was chosen despite having several older brothers and half-brothers. Bokassa I's eldest son by another wife, Georges, was a cabinet minister but Bokassa considered him weak. Jean-Bédel Bokassa Jr. was included in his father's lavish coronation of 4 December 1977. He is currently a socialite living in Paris.
