Someone once said, “Paris is always a good idea.” It sure is, except for the sister of the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. This royal member, Al Mayassa bint Hamad Al-Thani hails from one of the most affluent families worldwide (worth $350 billion) was traveling on a TGV train from Nice to Paris when her valuables were stolen. Imagine the Sheikha’s horror when she realized that not one or two, but eleven Hermès bags were stolen on that fateful Saturday morning, the 27th of July.

A Qatari princess ditched her trusted private jet and took a high-speed train to the Paris Olympics, only to have 11 of her Hermes handbags, containing expensive jewelry and watches, stolen.

The matters of the heart are often elusive. What one man once coveted so deeply that even its shadow was unbearable, he abandoned just as swiftly. That man is Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler, the former owner of the 439-foot mammoth Serene superyacht. The $400 million motoryacht, now a floating palace of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was commissioned nearly 20 years ago by Italy-based Fincantieri.

A Russian vodka billionaire, who vacated his $400 million superyacht on a moment’s notice when Saudi Crown Prince MBS bought it on the spot, once sued the shipyard that built the vessel because they constructed a similar-looking yacht for another billionaire.

PARIS (AP) — Vadim Ghirda takes a closer look at his AP photo of the sunset framed by the Arc de Triomphe. All photographs are unique but this one has an extra element of “uniqueness” attached to it: There are only a few days in a year when the sunset is framed by one of the famous landmarks of Paris, the Arc de Triomphe. This year it happens during the Olympic Games. It’s a small but worthy piece in the huge puzzle of photographs produced by all of my AP colleagues, which, in the end, will paint the BIG picture of an historic event, taking place against the backdrop of iconic sites in Paris.
