She also bought a pair of $7,000 shoes with crystal-encrusted heels and had the goods shipped to Dubai, to get around sanctions.
The murderous pairs ultra-modern presidential mansion commissioned in 1979 and designed by Japanese architect Kenzo Tange is thought to have cost up to $1 billion.

Hope they enjoy it now. This never ends well for these type of people.
I hear that Saudi Barbarian leaders live pretty well, too.
One guy even had a gold-plated toothbrush.
Which person in that photo is claimed to be descended from the prophet Mohammed?
Imagine my shock!
Here's the other side: The Truth About the War in Syria by a Canadian reporter who was there.
Brooks-Baker connected Queen Elizabeth to Muhammad via Zaida of Seville, a Muslim princess from the 11th century who converted to Christianity and became King Alfonso VI of Castiles concubine. However, its not clear if Zaida was actually related to Muhammad or not.

“In California thats a multi-million dollar home.”
In California a 2br, 1ba 800sf hovel is a ‘multimillion dollar home’.
And that’s BEFORE the tax bill!
So they’re hauling out this well won out ‘known’ news again regarding Assads wife.......like it’s suppose to be astounding or frightfully upsetting.....
What’s the point? Is this supposed to be a reason for US to go to war in Syria? We’ll have to wage a lot of wars around the globe if we’re supposed to attack every high-living autocrat
Maybe we should start with the Saudi rulers?
Not much different than any other dictators in the world. We should have made Syria an ally had that been possible in the geopolitical scheme of things. Their alliance with Iran and Russia is unfortunate.
Not excusing any unspeakable and evil things he has done to his own people. That takes a special kind of ***hole.
Unlike American senators, congressmen and former presidents who became multi-millionaires while in office and after leaving their government jobs.
Isn’t it always like this in communist/socialist/dictatorship countries?
That’s what strongman thugs do. So do mullahs.
Sooner or later he and his bride will be Ceausescued
When you are done lol you might want to apologize to the thousands of families of our soldiers killed in Iraq by terrorists that Assad allowed to travel from Syria into Iraq.
Is anyone surprised about Waters “mansion”? Remember, she is a demodummie politician who has worked her way “up”. Stealing and graft are hard work.
I would rather see Mubarak, Hussein, Gadhafi, and Assad ruling as opposed to ISIS. It’s a no brainer who Mideast people flock to after a dictator is removed. The removal of Hussein and Gadhafi has lead to severe repercussions. We were lucky with Egypt as the military thwarted Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood and less so with the new Islamic Iraq. Removing Assad would be devastating. None of this is America’s fight. It’s entanglement that has zero upside.
I like this headline better:
“American politicians and their wives and mistresses living life of luxury while country in tatters”
