ROSMAH SIZZLES UP FOREIGN MEDIA: ‘SHE MAKES $0 A YEAR BUT SPENDS MILLION ON CREDIT CARD TIED TO PM’S 1MDB STATE FUND’
She makes $0/year and her husband pulls in $100,000. She put $1 million on credit card of her husband’s tied to 1MDB, the investment fund he set up and from which he allegedly “received hundreds of millions of dollars siphoned between 2009 and 2015.” But please! Do not ask Rosmah Mansor about the minor little items she’s picked up here and there and paid for in a totally legitimate fashion.
She is the only child of schoolteachers, hasn’t had a regular paying job in years and her husband, Prime Minister Najib Razak, is a longtime bureaucrat with an annual salary of $100,000. Ms. Rosmah, 64 years old, says she has a habit of saving. “I have bought some jewelry and dresses with my own money. What is wrong with that?” she wrote in her 2013 autobiography.
But allegations that Mr. Najib received hundreds of millions of dollars siphoned between 2009 and 2015 from 1Malaysia Development Bhd., a state investment fund he set up, are bringing renewed scrutiny of her…The Wall Street Journal reported this year, citing banking documents, that at least $1 million in purchases made by Ms. Rosmah at jewelry and fashion stores in Europe and the U.S. in 2014 were paid for by Mr. Najib using credit cards that drew on 1MDB funds.
The couple declined to comment at the time. New documents seen by the Journal show those expenses are part of at least $6 million in spending by Ms. Rosmah between 2008 and 2015 on clothing, shoes and jewelry from London’s Harrods department store, Saks Fifth Avenue of New York and elsewhere.
