It must be nice if your father is the President. It is really nice if he is in office for 4 decades and names you as his successor. Such is the case in the paradise known as Equatorial Guinea. Vice President Vice President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue has expensive tastes, but the party is over. After a money-laundering investigation by the Swiss Government, Bonhams sold 25 of his supercars for $27,000,000 in Geneva.
We would never expect corruption from a family that has been in power for 40 years. Staying in power by eating the flesh of your enemies is their claim to fame, even though half the nation has no water. We knew he was busted for some time, but an auction of this magnitude takes logistics and lawyers.
His estate also included a Gulfstream 5 Jet and a modest home in Malibu. Bonham’s website only lists the 25 most significant cars, so the Associated Press listed the other details, and it was picked up by Gazette.com.
