While the cedar sauna is a nice touch, it's outshined by the home's spacious deck, which hovers above the sands of the Pacific.

Hey Kamran, CHILLOUT!

The house was built in the 1970s, and at just under 3000 square feet, it's far from impressive.  Why are you so jealous?  What have you done with all the opportunities that life has afforded you?  Did you get an ivy league education, or start a fortune 500 company?  What the f... have you done with your life?  And what is it to you what Shahnaz Pahlavi has or doesn't have? Do you think you actually DESERVE whatever you have in your pathetic existence?  You don't think that most of what you have is owed to the fact that you were at the right place at the right time, and got to leave that toilet of a country filled with envious hateful pricks such as yourself and came overseas where you were afforded opportunities that most on this planet would die for?  What have you done with your life?  You don't think there are people in Iran that are 10 times more educated, smarter, and better looking than you that don't have half of what you have?  Put some perspective in your life, and stop whining about the Pahlavis and Mosaddegh.  They've both been gone for decades and a place we once used to call home is a virtual toilet, thanks to the likes of you.

Pahlavi modesty!!!!!!!!

No doubt the villa was paid for in cash.  Question is where did the cash come from.  Iranian treasury or some secret stash of the Pahlavis?  What did Shahnaz ever do to Iranian society to deserve such luxury?  Marry Ardeshir!!!!!!!!!!!?????????  For the thousandth time.....Pahlavis ought to go hide somewhere and live the rest of their filthy lives with all the ill gotten wealth stolen from Iran

Iranian government money ? Or Private Fortune of Shah & Fawzia ?

by Darius Kadivar on Wed Jul 06, 2011 12:47 AM PDT

Divorcing a King has it's advantages. Shahnaz's mother was Princess Fawzia, sister of King Farouk of Egypt. She already had a fortune before Marrying the Shah, so part of that money could also be from Fawzia's personal account ( not just from her divorce pension).

Either way She could have bought a far more luxurious compound for cheaper if she wanted: 

 

Her Aunt Princess Shams' Pearl Palace for Instance which was and remains  a museum:

Estimated Price: $3.5 million

UK royals 'not Europe's richest' (bbc)

 

 

A survey of the wealth of Europe's 10 reigning dynasties by EuroBusiness magazine estimated the fortune of the royal family of Liechtenstein at £3.3bn.

 

Still The Windsor's are hardly poor:

 

The Grand Duke of Luxembourg's family came in second with an estimated fortune of £3bn, while the Windsors came third with a total wealth of £2.7bn which according to EuroBusiness magazine survey in 1999 was evaluated as such:

 

  • Cash and investments - £520m
  • Art collection - £1bn
  • Jewellery - £130m
  • Crown Estate - £700m
  • Duchy of Cornwall - £195m

  • Other property or assets - £160m
