The ruler of Dubai was ordered to pay his princess ex-wife and their children more than $730 million in the most expensive divorce settlement in British history.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, 72, was ordered in London’s High Court on Tuesday to pay Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, a half-sister of Jordan’s King Abdullah II, a lump sum of around $333 million within the next three months.

He also has to immediately pay several million more for the education of their children — Al Jalila, 14, and Zayed, 9 — and then guarantee $385 million to cover future payments.

He has to pay for security against his own threats of abduction? How unfair. Can’t he promise not to do it?

In Islam women are little better than slaves. Who knows how many Western Women have married into that nightmare and remain against their will in Islamic countries. Just say NO to Mad Moe!

Ex-wife to judge (sobbing): “Your honor, you can’t turn away and just let my two children and me go without food and shelter. We could be destitute. $730 million could tide us over.”

This is what inflation does to a Middle East princess.

The normal budget doesn’t cover everything anymore.

If he is 72, then he must order 'Grecian Formula' by the truckload and, with 6/5 wives, a lifetime prescript for viagra! In times past, the Brits had a reference for these potentates of "Western Oriental Gentlemen", or so I have read.

I’m sure the clintoons could foot the bill. They’ve been steeling for decades.

A lot of women are attracted to this life. In Islam, the traditional gender roles that have worked throughout all of humanity are still in effect. Not all women want a pink pussy hat-wearing emasculated soyboy. They want a man who takes charge and tells them what to do.

And Dubai has the nicest, most opulent shopping malls in the world with plenty of fashion stores for women. Their women may dress modestly in public but when they get behind the giant stone privacy walls blocking the view to their palatial homes, they're dressed as sexy as anyone else.

I've visited Dubai several times. It's a great city for shopping. The Mall of Dubai and the Mall of the Emirates are amazing. When entering the Mall of Dubai one walks past the valet parking area,chock full of Ferraris,Bentlys and the odd Bugatti Veyron Vitesse ($2+ million,I saw one).

Watching the guys with the white robes walking in front of their wives,dressed in black from head to toe,one sees that those women are all wearing $500 shoes.

Not so sure about that. She is a Hashemite Princess of the Jordan Monarchy, so there are some delicate politics in play here. As for the dough, by reputation, he is in the top 10 wealthiest people on the planet. $730m might mean cutting the caviar back to once-a-day!

Lots of women get trapped behind Islamic lines. Even Dubai is somewhat of an illusion. You have 5 star motels with raw sewage washing up on its beachs and essentially slave labor imported from poor countries making everything over there seem so grand.

IIRC the “Wogs” were Indians (Asian Indians).
