The house of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan

The house is the biggest waste of money I've seen in a long time. Honestly why do you need 12 BMWs, 2 Benz and 2 Bentleys? I doubt he uses 1/3 of his house and half of his cars. As for the silver Audi, good call, get a car made in the desert out of a metal that scratches easily.
What makes me angry about all of this is that you see the commercials on TV all the time about kids starving and people starving over seas. You hear some old guy asking you to pay a dollar a day to help a kid have food and shit and their governments and its officials are wasting money on shit like this. I am sorry that the kids are starving, I really am. But I have no sympathy for them when their own goverments dont' care enough to help their people. They'd rather waste money on themselves for shit they don't need and won't use.

american people are stupid. thank you for your time. If Bill Clinton did half of what the Bush Administration did they would of lynched him. Wasn't the Bush Administration who ran on a platform of returning integrity back to the white house?

How much integrity can a former cokehead have? Lets be realistic here... The rich are the only ones ever going to be in the White House, they're the only ones who can afford to buy votes.

Correction, 10% of world's reserves, the no 1 is Saudi Arabia.
PS: Stavrose, why can't we edit anymore ?!
When you are the no 1 oil exporter, and have 25% of the world's oil reserves, I don't think the guy has ever asked himself that question)

nah since the invention of t.v. broadcasts, it is all about showbiz. Who puts a better show. No different than American Idol. I blame the American people. If we as a society gave a crap, our country wouldn't be in the shape it is in.

It's not silver, the looks of polished aluminum is deceptive.

Jesus guys, quick to judgement at all? You guys reveal your own ignorance. Perhaps you should read up on the guy before screaming down from your ivory towers with such judgement:
From the all-knowing oracle that is Wikipedia:
It does look like he was involved in some scandal through a bank he funded along with the CIA. So he's certainly not a lilly white angel or anything here. And he of course was criticized for his wealth:
Sounds to me like an extremely interesting guy. I remember hearing of his death a couple years ago. Did he live a lavish lifestyle? Sure as hell looks that way. He's in Guiness for having the most expensive wedding ever. And obviously look at his home. But it looks like he did a hell of a lot of good with that money too. Either way, I don't think you guys should be so judgemental.

Oh so look, he's an Arab friendly to the west. The evil bastard.
Wow, he's even helped the environment. Clearly he must be stopped.
Free education and health care for its citizens, even though other Arab countries oppress their citizens and force them to live uneducated lives? Fucking nuke Dubai.
Whee, an Arab who is tolerant of other religions! He is clearly what is wrong with the world.

I agree even if you're super rich there's no point in getting all that crap. What, you want to show off? That's not good enough reason IMO.
I practically live in one room, yeah I use other parts of our house for small things (like going to the bathroom or fridge) but honestly you'd think after 20 rooms it would just be impossible to use the rest of the space.
What do these kinds of people have, like 700 people living with them?
