Video of Ben Ali's Stash of Diamonds & Hard Currency
20-Feb-2011
Here is a video clip enclosed in the link below via Al Arabiya shown on Tunisian state television on Saturday 19th February that toured one of Ben Ali's palaces. Apparently, Ben Ali hid the wealth he stole from his long-suffering people in "curtains and secret compartments behind the palace library". Al Arabiya states that France, Switzerland, Canada, and the EU have frozen Ben Ali's assets and the Tunisian interim government will be seeking measures to recover money and property of Ben Ali to help combat poverty in the country.

Ben Ali is currently in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in "grave condition" after suffering a massive stroke which resulted into a coma. Some reports suggestion that Ben Ali has died since falling into coma:

@Darius, I am sure that Gaddafi is in the "billionaire" ranks. I remember reading a while ago that Hannibal Gaddafi paid $2 million for Beyonce to perform for a New Year's party at St. Barts. You can read about it here:

A better question is how much money Khamenei and the rest of his cronies have stashed away?
