I have 3 persians and as long as you take proper care of them i.e. shots, grooming, food, etc. they can live well into their teens or longer. As with any cat, as they get older, they can develop health problems, but that is a normal part of growing old.
Persians are very loving, laid back, and loyal (for the most part). Obviously not every cat will fit into this category since all cats are different.
Our first persian lived to be 15 years before her kidneys failed. I have a Persian who just turned 16 years, but I provide constant care for him and am fighting old age, but he is so worth it! He is such a love bug.
I think you will like your persian! Like the other suggested, they are high maintenance and especially with the white color, you will have to work harder to keep the color nice.
I hope you enjoy him and can't wait to see the pictures.
