Default Opulence !!

Try and guess who owns this pad ???

Imagine who would have such taste and live in such opulence?
An American Billionaire?
A Saudi Prince?
Louis XIV of France?



Savour the pictures then scroll to the bottom of the page to see who owns this Work of Art.













And the owner is...........



This Mansion is in Harare and belongs to:
The President of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe - a maniac, mass-murderer whose people are starving while he siphons millions into his own pockets and the world stands by and watches, including closest neighbour South Africa.

Makes you think

Did anyone else expect the name 'Wayne Rooney' to appear at the end - or am I alone in my own world of mental thoughts?

Ah you sure you would be eating spotted dick in the dining room? Just make sure the curtains are closed, plus i you hadn't left the chemist i'm sure they would have had some cream for that
