Syrian dictator Assad, wife living life of luxury while country in tatters

Well, yeah - that's what most dictators do. The notable exceptions were the 20th centuries all-time mass murderers - Hitler, Stalin and Mao. They lived in relatively modest settings, but the lesser dictators - the Saddam Husseins, the Idi Amins, the Manuel Noriegas - they like to enjoy their wealth.
