King Abdullah's personal finances are reviewed in this article about the Pandora Papers.

King of Jordan hidden property empire worth more than $100m, Pandora papers reveal | King Abdullah | The Guardian

Jordanian security forces arrived unexpectedly at Moayyad al-Majali?s home one day in October 2019, detaining the lawyer, confiscating his laptop and phones and accusing him of one of the kingdom?s most serious offences.

His crime was slandering the country?s ruler, King Abdullah II, simply by asking a single question: how much land does the king own?

In a country propped up by billions of dollars in international financial aid ? and where unemployment has nearly doubled over the past seven years ? the topic is considered too sensitive for the Jordanian public to know about.

But today, the Guardian can reveal part of the answer, thanks to documents that form the Pandora papers, the largest ever trove of leaked offshore data.

The files expose that the Arab world?s longest-serving current monarch has spent the past decades amassing an international luxury property empire worth well in excess of $100m (?74m), with its footprint stretching from the clifftops of Malibu, California, to Washington DC and on to central London?s most exclusive postcodes.

Abdullah built this property empire showing the same zeal for secrecy he has demonstrated when asked about his finances at home. He has disguised his ownership through a series of offshore companies incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) , according to records shared by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists with the Guardian, the BBC and other media outlets around the world.

The multimillion-dollar properties were acquired as US economic and military aid to Jordan quadrupled and Jordanian citizens were subjected to austerity as part of an International Monetary Fund (IMF) bailout for the resource-poor country.
