"A piece of cloth on my head, I am the richest in the world"! That's right, you know I'm talking about Saudis.
They are dressed iconicly, and even become the object of imitation by everyone, as if this outfit is the symbol of the local tycoon.
As the most trenched country in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is full of buildings that soar into the sky, the streets are full of luxury cars, the toilet is inlaid with gold and silver, and they will add gold powder to their food.
Since the 1930s, saudi Arabia has soared after making its fortune in oil, and "money" is only synonymous here.
If you want to say that Saudi Arabia has the richest people, it must be their royal family.
Four years ago, the scene of the Saudi king's visit to China made many people lose their jaws. 8 special planes, 1500 servants, 506 tons of luggage, 2 automatic gangways and 2 Mercedes-Benz S600 bulletproof cars, and finally signed a $65 billion purchase order with China.
However, such a rich royal family has a woman that they cannot afford to raise.
Her only hobby is shopping in the world's major luxury stores, each trip with 60 servants to serve close to her, a piece of underwear for 60,000 pounds (about 530,000 yuan), a pair of leggings is as high as 500,000 pounds (about 4.41 million yuan), and she even bought three hundred square meters of warehouses to pile up her luxury goods.
And she is Maha Al-Sudairi, a loser princess that the $1.7 trillion Saudi royal family can't afford to raise.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">01、</h1>
Maha Sudri was born into the Saudi royal family and is the daughter of the former Saudi King Abdullah.
His brother Inav was a prominent crown prince, and in order for his daughter to continue to enjoy the glory of the royal family, Abdullah ordered his daughter to be married to Inaf.
Maha Sudri is a well-known beauty in the Middle East, and when she became a princess, she opened the eyes of the whole world.
In the name of her husband, she often squandered in luxury stores and jewelry stores abroad, spending 60,000 pounds just to buy a piece of underwear, and even used hundreds of thousands of pounds for leggings.
However, the seemingly rich princess in front of her is actually just an old lai.
She always buys things on credit and does not give money, because she knows that in the end, someone will definitely come forward to pay for her, and many merchants dare to be angry and dare not speak.
However, as a sky-high bill came to light, the Maha's scandal of "not paying back" escalated into an international joke and nearly led to diplomatic disputes.
What's going on here?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">02、</h1>
In June 2009, Princess Maha appeared in the major luxury stores in Paris with 60 close entourage, and when shopping, she never looked at the price and bought whatever she liked.
Clothing, hats, jewelry, artwork, gold-encrusted tableware, thousands of pairs of women's shoes... The total value is as high as 14 million pounds (about 120 million yuan).
At checkout, Princess Maha used the old trick of credit and gave a blank cheque with the words: "Pay in the coming day."
Some of them went to the Saudi Embassy in France to ask for explanations, and some of them went to the George V Hotel in France where Princess Maha was staying and surrounded her, hoping to make her feel ashamed and pay back the money in this way.
Soon, the news spread around the world, and the Saudi royal family was humiliated. In order to get things done as quickly as possible, the Saudi royal family had to pay off the arrears on her behalf.
However, even though Maha has such a poor reputation, when she sweeps goods in European famous stores, as long as she plays the banner of the Saudi royal family, there are still a large number of famous store clerks who are willing to give her credit. In order to store her large amount of luxury goods, she even bought 3 warehouses in Paris.
Due to Maha's series of evasive behaviors and extravagant life, her husband Naif was saddled with a lot of infamy, and Naif, who was overwhelmed by the reputation, divorced Maha in anger. In order to prevent Maha from becoming a demon again, the king also ordered that she be placed under house arrest as soon as she returned home.
However, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to move.
Maha, who had been imprisoned for 2 years, not only did not learn his lesson, but violated the royal ban and sneaked to Paris again with 60 retinues.
This time, she chartered 41 rooms on an entire floor of Shangri-La for half a year.
One night, in the dark of night, Maha tried to escape the hotel's £5 million bill and tried to sneak out the hotel's back door, but the huge queue attracted the attention of the hotel staff. They stopped Maha, called in the police, and in the end, the "escape" farce also ended in failure.
Most of her around her were arrested by the police, but Maha was released on the spot for enjoying diplomatic immunity.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">03、</h1>
In fact, Maha's vices are far more than profligacy. In the Saudi royal family, she is still notoriously violent and lawless.
Although Naif later divorced him, due to the face of the royal family, he would sometimes pay off the arrears on behalf of his ex-wife.
Unfortunately, in 2012, Naif died suddenly due to illness at the age of 78, and the outside world speculated that the cause of Naif's illness must be directly related to Maha.
Nayef, who has been dragged back by such a loser princess, has been criticized by everyone. But Maha, who dragged her husband into the abyss step by step, did not survive herself.
With Nayef's death, Maha lost the shadow and protection of the crown prince's aura, and suddenly disappeared, and the three storage warehouses under her name, worth more than 11 million pounds (about 97.1 million yuan) treasures, were seized and auctioned by the court to pay off the debt.
Throughout Maha's life, it can be said that a good hand of cards has been played by her.
She squandered not only money, but also her own destiny.
Fate is often in their own hands, if you do not think of enterprising, blindly poor and extravagant, one day will go to the end of the road. Text/Axiaono
