Default Late King Hussein's Fortune

sorry for my english..

Haya married that sheik because obviously she didn't inherit enough money ,at least not sufficient amount that would allow her to go wild(though i don't see how she can do that next to that old man either)...
so i have a conclusion to make,late KHussein was not worth that much money after all ,some ppl said he was worth 500 million,...gimme a break,
he prolly wasn't even worth 50 million$, if you split that to 14 kids, wife and give Abdullah being a king some extra more,each child would get around 2 million...
and obviously that's the case and that's why Noor sold Potomac and that just isn't enough for Haya to buy some new expensive toys such as horses an stuff.
I mean if she inherited around 7 million that would be enough and she'd never marry that old dude..but she didn't and so it seems Hussein wasn't that rich after all

oh ,and i don't buy that story ::..he left most of it to QNoor ,lol no way she was only his wife,kids always come first i'm sure he was fair..

zento-good points.

also in qnoor's book she states that khussein had to go ask fellow monarchs for cash to keep his family & country afloat. actually if i remember correctly, their precarious financial situation is mentioned quite a few times in her book. and there are the now infamous payments from the CIA.

also it is highly doubtful that khussein was worth 500million at the time of his death. that would have been 5yrs ago and that kind of estate would definately make international money news.

and if they had that kind of cash-the interest on the cash alone would be more than able to pay for some of the maintenance of the royal family and various projects elminating the need for khussein to go panhandling.

Perfectly said. The Jordanian's appear as a somewhat medicore royal family (meaning they don't appear to have all the glits and gold other ME families have). Although, it is surprising to see Rania in all her designer gowns. It would not surprise me if the blulk of King Abdullah's millions are invested in Rania's gowns, hair dressers, makeup stylist, and jewellers. I am happy to see that Prince Hazamh married a dainty girl, but Rania can across the sam way in the beginning. Looking at wedding pictures from Hamzah's wedding it seemed as Princess Noor was all alight we see was in the presence of her sister-in-law as if admiring her style. I only hope that I was seeing things.

yeah ,Abdullah seems to have quite a lot..i'm sure he's using his position to get some extra for his immediate family(kids&wife)
Though Haya obviously didn't get enough from her late father...lol no way did she get more than few(3,4) million
...can you imagine being worth 10 million and leaving your freedom to marry some old dude...i sure can't

or maybe i'm wrong and it is a true love after all

you may be right, but it could also be about other things as well.

Do you really think that King Abdullah would let that happen? What would she do? Consult?

i don't know about the jrf but in the emirates there are more working sheikhs/sheikhas then not. it the person is in direct line to asscend the rulers position then that person would obviously be a functionary for the government. but if a person is pretty far down the line (and the VAST majority of them are) they work in private industry. start their own business, run a branch of the families business, etc. haya was never one of the leading lights of the jrf.

with all the blah, blah, blah about her stellar education & independance-yes, as a matter of fact, i do think she should go to work. do something productive-her husband does.

and you know that family could use the cash.

who said that the JRF is not rich. KH's estimate fortune before he died, reached up 2 $500m!. As for queen rania's earnings, she gets around $200,000,00 annually!
Its true that jordan is a poor country, some mite consider it 2b bcoz it does not have oil as its main resource, but that does not mean that the royal family is poor, how can they be if they are ferinds with the US.

History said how Jordan was created and why....
Jordan relies MAINLY on foreign aid to sustain the reason for which the country was created in the first place...

500 million

Lol like i said you have a perfect example of Haya ,in that calculation she would be entitled to almost 30 million$ ..
For Gods sake she married a dude who could be her grandfather,lol
why do you think she married him,affection ,gratitude like Celine Dion ,did ..
Please she wasn't worth more than few million.no way and she didn't marry him out of political reasons either,she's not that dumb..
And her brother is/was a bodyguard in a way ...
QNoor sold Potomac,why would she sold it??,she has 4 children ,it would've been handy for them in the future ...
Khussein obviously wasn't that rich...
No way would she marry and old dude if her own family was rolling in money..
no way

I think that for the two of them it was a match made in heaven: the old prince gets a beautiful young wife in Haya, and she gets a man with a bunch of cash and high standing in the equestrian world...a perfect marriage of convenience. Though if I was her, I would have gone for one of his handsome sons

The borrowed money wasn't for his family. It was for his country.

Also, Haya's marrying a rich man doesn't make her family poor. I'm sure she was well taken care of before she got married. She had her own stables in a few European counties.

i don't think Khussein was poor,he was obviously very rich but not as some pll stated before.
.. and he has many children, so if you split that even,for someone with a big appetite it's not sufficient

King Hussein had 12 children not 14.

1. Alia
2. Abduallah
3. Faisal
4. Zein
5. Aisha
6. Ali
7. Haya
8. Abeer
9. Hamzah
10. Hashim
11. Iman
12. Raiyah

Queen Noor said that The Sultan of Brunei purchased, at least, one of their many homes for them. They weren't super wealthy.

I don't really see where they got the money for Rania's two multi-million dollar tiaras. I remember her saying that she could not see the point in the expense in the beginning and now she has not one but two. I think all those tailored suites and designer leather jackets that Abduallah wears also must cost a few $$.

As for Sheikh Mohammed taking Haya for his third current wife (he is still married to the lebanese lady, isn't he?). Sure she is attractive, educated, and royal. But, she is also a decendant of the Prophet and I have always thought a Muslim man/women must consider it a terrible honor to be marry one who is of the line of the Prophet.
