When, in June 2018, the home of the ‘First Lady of Malaysia’, Rosmah Mansor, was raided, investigators found what her daughter described as “steel safes full of jewels, precious stones and cash”. The treasure trove included 567 Hermès, Prada and Chanel handbags, among them a $200,000 Hermès Birkin version; 423 watches, mostly made by Rolex; 234 brand-name sunglasses; and other luxury items that between them were estimated to be worth $274 million – on top of the $28 million cash found lying around in 26 different currencies.
