Most of that is likely skimmed from our aid money.
Aid money from the US, aid money from the UN, aid money from the IMF....etc... . Corruption isn't limited to Middle Eastern leaders; it is widespread throughout 3rd world countries.
What do we expect when we financially prop up corrupt governments for our own agenda.
Like a den of thieves. Look at every dictator around the world, especially in the third world nations where billions in aid money is sent. They live like lavish kings while their people starve to death in the streets.
It's pretty obvious the money is not getting to the people but as long as our "interests" are protected we don't care.
The same goes for sending food aid to North Korea.
Kim uses it to feed himself and his military while letting others starve to death.
Still, I'm not suggesting that we go in and take him down either, because many more would starve and many would die.
Besides, from the US Gov perspective, they would use that as an excuse to take down Kim and his isolationist and power stances like they did Saddam despite how many would die in such a move. It would only serve to strengthen the NWO.
Thinking back to those days: Khomeini had taken power in Iran and the US Embassy hostage crisis had just ended earlier in the year. Egypt and Israel (Sadat and Begin) had signed a peace treaty.
Sadat was assassinated by elements of a group which is now trying to replace someone who, arguably, has been a friend of the US for nearly 3 decades.
To expect that in that area of the world to have leaders without sticky fingers is myopic.
Of course, we had LBJ who was elected to Congress owning one suit and quickly, through "shrewd investments" became a millionaire.
He gradually became an enemy of the Muslim Brotherhood but was assasinated by more radical Islamic Fundamentalists. The US policies over the years gave rise to these and other groups.
You thought these politicians did these jobs as a public service? BTW - Much of the Kennedy fortuned is derived from smuggling good booze during prohibition. The rest came from "shrewd" investment.
