The Hashemites of Jordan

"Jordanian Princess Alia bint Al-Hussein, half-sister of King Abdullah II, ruler of Jordan, is selling one of her posh Palm Beach mansions for $17.5 million, $6.5 million more than she paid for it last year. In July 2008, the princess and her husband, Mohammad Anwar Farid Al-Saleh, bought the elegant lakefront home at 1320 North Lake Way in Eden Villa for $11 million from diamond mogul, Thomas Shane, CEO of Denver, Colo.-based Shane Company, one of the largest direct diamond importers in the country. Shane bought the property in 2004 for $8.26 million, according to property records." (thanks anonymous)
