This year's World Cup, there is no rookie on the court, but the Qatari royal family is the first to fire.
Netizens first found a "cute treasure" on the court, because the Qatari team lost, so excited that they couldn't control their expressions, revealing the exclusive expression of the landlord's stupid son.
Then everyone learned that this was a certain little prince of the Qatari royal family.
Although the little prince comes from the richest royal family in the world, his personality is very down-to-earth, and after learning that he is deeply loved by Chinese netizens, he specially recorded a video to thank netizens for their love.
As a result, the craze of the little prince has not faded, and everyone has found a big baby, that is, a big prince who is now in the audience with David Beckham.
This prince is long and jade, whether it is in stature or temperament, he is not inferior to Beckham, and even more kingly.
The appearance of the two princes made everyone pay attention to the Qatari royal family, and it turned out that this is a seriously underrated royal family.
The Qatari royal family is the third richest royal family in the world, after the Saudi royal family and the Kuwaiti royal family, with a family fortune of $335 billion.
The total assets of the British royal family are only $19.5 billion.
Don't think that the Qatari royal family is far away from you, but its assets are all over the world.
The royal family is also not soft on spending money.
The current king's sister, the three princesses of Qatar, spends $5 billion a year collecting art from around the world.
And the handsome prince at the beginning of the article, a robe on his body is worth millions.
Such a "trench" inhumanity, and the royal family with good looks suddenly attracted the attention of the global audience.
However, the most talked about people in the Qatari royal family are not these two Internet celebrity princes, but a remarkable woman, now the Queen Mother - Moza.
If you want to make a business card for Moza, you probably have to print it on A4 paper.
She is known as "Wu Zetian of the Middle East", from the daughter of a criminal courtier to the prince's side concubine to the powerful empress dowager, her life experience is more wonderful than the novel.
Forbes magazine named her one of the "100 Most Powerful Women in the World."
How powerful is Moza in Qatar?
Originally, Qatar's top officials did not plan to bid for the World Cup, feeling that their country was too small to host such a large world-class event, but Moza felt that the World Cup had a great influence and would bring many benefits to Qatar. In the end, she waved her hand and spent $220 billion to host the World Cup, more than the total investment of previous World Cups.
Moza not only had power, but also money.
She is the president of the Qatari Royal Investment Fund, and Qatar is the richest royal family thanks to her.
Moza's properties are all over the world, and she is even known as the "landlord of London" because she has more properties in London than the British royal family, and the Shard Building in London and Harrod, the British royal shopping mall, are her properties.
In addition to being powerful and wealthy, Moza also has a good reputation, and the Qatari people call her the "gospel of Qatar" because she has held Qatar's financial power for nearly 40 years and achieved prosperity for all.
She is also a fashionista, and when female celebrities cheer for being able to wear luxury haute couture, Moza has long worn the custom clothes of high-luxury brands such as Dior and Balmain as regular clothes.
She not only wears name brands, but also acquires them.
Luxury Valentino and balman are her properties, and LVMH has to reserve a seat for her at the shareholders' meeting, and it is not an exaggeration to call her the queen of fashion.
In 2014, Vanity Fair even risked offending all European first ladies by awarding her only "Best Dressed Hall of Fame" title to her far away in the Middle East.
However, the title of Moza can be said to be well deserved.
In 2009, Moza and her husband were invited to visit the Elysee Palace, and not only did they overwhelm first lady Bruny in their dress, but even Sarkozy couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Coincidentally, Sarkozy's peeping action was also filmed by the French media, and Moza's trip was also called "the stunning Elysee Palace incident" by the French media.
And to be stunning, it is not enough to have beauty and gorgeous clothes, and there must be the blessing of jewelry for big occasions.
As the richest and most powerful woman in the world, Moza was also a jeweler, owning countless personal jewels, even comparable to Elizabeth II.
Today, I will take you to see the rare treasures of this Queen Mother of the Middle East.
First, jewelry shines and is worth 10,000 gold
There are many jewels in Moza, there is no way to list them all, but there are a few that have to be mentioned.
1. The most expensive jewelry
Moza wore many pieces of jewelry, but the most valuable but the smallest was a ruby ring.
The band is made of white gold with diamonds and set with an 8.62 carat ruby.
This ruby is famous in the jewelry world.
In 2006, Christie's auctioned the ring, which caused a sensation as soon as it was unveiled.
Lawrence Graf, known as the "Lord of the Rings," praised it as the world's most perfect ruby in color and workmanship, and eventually pocketed the ring for $3.63 million and named the ring after himself.
Eight years later, Graff put the ring up for auction, and its price has more than doubled to $8.6 million.
After several waves of rotation, this Graff ring finally appeared on Moza's hand, and the valuation was as high as 60 million yuan.
2. The most meaningful jewelry
If you pay attention to Moza regularly, you will find that she likes to wear pearl necklaces.
In fact, Moza's personal aura is very powerful, and pearl is more suitable for women with a warm temperament, so why does she have a soft spot for pearls? Because pearls had brought her good luck.
Although Moza married into the royal family, he always had his own business - pearl trading.
Pearls were not popular in high society at the time, so she set her sights on the common class, specializing in some cheap pearl decorations, and soon opened up sales.
While doing business, Moza stumbled upon a perfectly colored black pearl, which was valued at $700,000.
Later, the existence of this pearl was known to Moza's father-in-law, the king at that time.
Because Moza was the daughter of his former political rival, the king had always disliked this daughter-in-law, and seeing that she had a baby and did not know to give it to him, the king was even more angry, and he used his super-rich mind to push himself and others, feeling that he could use money to humiliate Moza.
So the king threw Moza $1 million and "bought" the black pearl from her.
With this $1 million, Moza began to start his own pearl oyster farming business, and the business became more and more prosperous.
It was this business experience that made Hamad, who was still the crown prince at the time, see his wife's economic acumen and strongly recommended her to become the steward of the royal family and manage the royal family's finances.
Despite her dissatisfaction with the daughter-in-law, her ability to earn money was impeccable, and eventually the king had to put Moza in power.
And Moza lived up to her husband's high expectations, and the royal family's funds in her hands grew like Qatar's oil.
In the end, Moza naturally became the president of the royal investment fund, and she also had a little bit of a say in the royal family.
It is precisely because of the indissoluble relationship with pearls that Moza has different feelings for pearls.
Among Moza's many pearl necklaces, one black pearl necklace stands out.
This necklace is made up of dozens of pearls, each of which is of the finest color, round and radiant.
This black pearl necklace is worth a lot at first glance, and some people even speculate that these pearls were collected by Moza in the course of his business, and it is also a rare black pearl, which is subtly related to the black pearl that gave her first pot of gold.
3. The most brilliant brooch
Moza's most popular jewelry is the "winged" brooch she brought to the World Cup event.
Moza wore a brown robe that day, and the pair of brooches pinned to her shoulders stopped like a phoenix butterfly, bringing life to the whole outfit and becoming the finishing touch.
This jewelry is also 100 years old, designed and created in 1910 by the fourth generation head of the famous jewelry brand Chaumet Paris.
Composed of 566 diamonds and 708 rose-cut diamonds, the brooch has a rustic and stylish shape.
Moza wore this brooch to various events, sometimes with only one wing, sometimes with two overlapping wings, which is very fashionable.
But in fact, the real body of the wing is not a brooch, but a crown, as long as it is inserted into the corresponding base, it will become a beautiful crown.
This pair of wings is also worth a lot, about 2 million yuan.
These three pieces of jewelry, one expensive, one significant, and one with a long history, can be said to be the three most outstanding pieces in Moza's jewelry box.
Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg in Moza's jewelry box.
Moza also has several pieces of jewelry that will make people shine every time they wear it.
For example, this huge coral necklace made of pure gold and set with various colored gemstones.
This necklace is not easy to control, a little careless, will reveal the nouveau riche temperament, but worn on Moza, it looks particularly fashionable and atmospheric.
There is also this colorful gemstone necklace, full of strong Middle Eastern style, very distinctive, but also unforgettable at a glance.
There are also many small trinkets of Moza, like these two floral brooches, the shape is very chic, and they are all made of precious stones, which is extraordinary.
Because Moza wears a headscarf all year round, she pins the brooch to the headscarf from time to time, which is full of recognition and fashion.
Second, where did the jewelry of the Queen Mother come from
In the British drama "Downton Abbey", the daughter of the family once said to her nouveau riche fiancé: "Our murals are inherited, and your murals are all bought." ”
This sentence reflects the importance that the upper class attaches to inheritance.
Like the jewelry of the British royal family, it is passed down from generation to generation, and Elizabeth II left jewelry valued at 1 billion pounds when she died, and these jewels that have been passed down for hundreds of years will also be inherited by Princess Anne, Princess Kate and others.
So where did Moza's jewelry come from?
Moza was not as lucky as the Queen of England, she used to be in the middle of the family, so her family did not have many jewels to pass on to her.
Qatar only became independent in 1971 and has been colonial until then, so although the Qatari royal family has money, it does not have many good things to inherit.
So when taking stock of Moza's jewelry, you will find that most of her jewelry is sourced from jewelers, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Harry Winster, these world's top jewelers have contributed a lot of rare treasures to the Qatari queen mother.
Among them, Cartier is particularly favored by Moza, probably because the brand's bold design and Moza's own temperament are very consistent.
Moza married Hamad at the age of 18, but because of the opposition of her father-in-law, she could only be a side concubine, but she gradually grasped the economic power of the royal family, and finally ascended the throne of the crown princess, became the queen of Qatar, and now has become the real queen mother who can influence Qatari politics.
Xiaojia Jasper's jewelry does not satisfy Moza's aesthetic, she prefers the kind of jewelry full of wildness.
So Moza loves Cartier's cheetah jewelry and has a complete set.
This Cartier cheetah bracelet is made of crystal clear diamonds and obsidian shaped like a cheetah, and finally finished with two emeralds to bring the leopard's demeanor to life.
The price of this bracelet is as domineering as the styling, and it is worth up to 50 million.
In addition to this bracelet, Moza also has a full set of jewelry from the Cheetah collection, including a leopard head necklace worth 3.229 million.
There is also a pair of snow leopard earrings, which are the lowest price in the whole jewelry set, but also worth 760,000.
The British royal family once set the star of Africa on the royal staff, and Moza also had a habit of changing jewelry.
She once bought a Cartier serpentine necklace and replaced the emerald on the necklace with her huge diamond.
Moza has amazing wealth, but money can buy gemstones, but not the end.
Although the jewelry she wears today is dazzling, if compared with the heirlooms of the European royal family, it is inevitably inferior.
This is a helpless reality for Moza.
Third, where will Moza's jewelry go?
Although Moza did not inherit the jewelry from her father, the jewelry she owned was destined to be passed on to others, so who will be the lucky one?
In this lifetime, Moza gave birth to a total of 7 children, including 5 sons and 2 daughters.
The handsome prince standing with David Beckham in the World Cup stands is Moza's eldest son, and the current king of Qatar is Moza's second son.
One hundred years after Moza, these jewels will also belong to these children and grandchildren.
Looking at Moza's jewelry now, I feel like a rootless duckweed, with a shiny appearance but no solid connotation, but when her children wear these jewels, people will also discuss that this brooch was worn by Moza to the World Cup, and that necklace was once worn by her on a visit.
Jewelry is a dead thing, but the wearer's story breathes life into it, making it a witness and narrator of time.
This is the greatest charm of jewelry.
Looking at Moza's jewelry now, she thinks that the jewelry is dressing her, but over time, she will find that Moza is enriching these jewels.
And her legendary life story will definitely be passed down from generation to generation with jewelry and remembered by future generations: Qatar, once produced such a legendary woman.
