King Abdullah II & Queen Rania of Jordan | House Tour | $70 Million Malibu Mansion & More

How much land does the king own? Well, I guess that kind of depends on which King you’re talking about, but if it’s King Abdullah II of Jordan alongside his wife, Queen Rania, then, as it turns out – far more than they should. Abdullah has ruled Jordan since the death of his father in 1999 – the man who originally positioned the kingdom as a key ally of the Western world, while also being known for his very public displays of wealth. Well, his son has most definitely carried on with that tradition. The problem is, in a country that’s propped up by billions of dollars in international financial aid – and where unemployment has nearly doubled over the past decade – the King’s wealth is something that the government considers to be too sensitive for the public to know about. Until the release of the “Pandora Papers” that is. Considered to be the biggest leak of offshore financial secrets detailing the hidden assets of some of the world’s richest people, this leak contained 11.9 million files worth of confidential information thanks to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. In 2014, King Abdullah II of Jordan shelled out $33.5 Million for what’s the most palatial -- and certainly most expensive -- of his real-estate purchases revealed by the Pandora Papers, a vast clifftop property on California’s Malibu coast.
