A lot of very wealthy people bought homes there because it was chic. Keeping up with the Joneses. Kind of like having a Rolls in your driveway to impress your neighbors.

I imagine a lot of them were Hollywood stars and the like.

Maybe some of them are decent people, but who would buy a multimillion-dollar house in Dubai? Arab lovers? People who want to be on the front cover of People Magazine? And of course Arab Sheikhs.

I’d say on the whole this couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch of people.

Exactly.

No matter how much money they throw at something, they'll never get past their third world sh**hole mentality.
