While the United States is raining
missiles on multiple locations all over Syria, the top of the food chain isn't
feeling it at all. The Syrian dictator and his spouse, dubbed “the
First Lady of Hell”, own an opulent palace estimated to be worth $1 billion in
Damascus. Damascus happens to be less than 10 miles away from Eastern Ghouta
where innocent Syrians are being slaughtered by pro-government forces. The
tales of indulgent spending are endless, $350,000 on furniture during a civil
war, $7,000 pair of crystal-encrusted heels, and she even spent $10.6 million
on tiling one room! This is as clear a case of the super-rich being
disconnected with the population as I’ve ever seen.
