Inside Rosmah’s Wardrobe: We Try To Value How Much Some Of
Her Items Cost
© Provided by Vulcan Post
We don’t have access to the documents that purport this at
the moment, but we’ve decided to try and take a glimpse into what the good
Datin has worn to see what she might have inside her wardrobe.
It should be noted that some of the items below might have been
gifts, not her personal purchases, because
as stated in
her biography, “While welcoming guests, it is common courtesy for
them to present us gifts as memorabilia. Among these gifts include rings,
watches, jewellery and others. Some are very expensive and custom-made.
When someone gives us something, it is not nice to reject
it. This said, there is no reason for me to go around announcing that I have
been presented watches, designer bags, and the rest. That’s just showing off.”
*Disclaimer: Prices are estimates due to fluctuating
exchange rates and many other factors, which we will try to explain.

Our Datin is know to have a great love for these bags
and it’s obvious when you see this compilation of images with her carrying them
in their different colours.
According to Fortune.com, prices for the bags
range from
12,000USD to 223,000USD. Being no bag connoisseurs, we don’t know
what each and every individual bag she’s carrying costs. However, we’ve just
found
a website that retails the crocodile skin bags
at 89,950USD, so all twelve of them would be 1,079,400USD (RM4,460,000).

This is the first of three watches owned by Rosmah which was
featured in a series of images uploaded by The Malaysian Crime Watch Task Force
(
MyWatch)
chairperson on his Facebook Page. The reported price on the image is RM79,200,
but we found a website where it
goes for
slightly cheaper, so we’ll put the lower price option here, because
she
believes in thriftiness and saving money.

Once again, the Jacob&Co website doesn’t even list
the price. There are reports online that estimate each diamond to cost
as much as RM100,000 per carat, and this
blog purports
that the bracelet is worth RM1.65 million, though the link it uses
as a reference for this claim is no longer active.
Carl Kapp Designer Clothes (RM326k)

According to
XE Currency Charts, the exchange rate of ringgit to 1AUD
around that time was around 3.26752, meaning an estimated RM326,752 was spent
that day.
Unfortunately, we can’t show you the specific pieces that
she’s worn out in public, because again, fashion is not our specialty.
Golden Pearl Necklace, With Matching Accessories (RM1
Million)

However, pearl prices do vary greatly based on quality,
whether they are natural or cultured, and also by designer. As we cannot
identify where she bought this from, we will go with the writer’s estimate of
the total cost of her jewellery being RM1 million (excluding the watch).
Exclusive Shoes From Emmett Shoes (Priceless)

Emmett shoes retail from around 200–400USD (RM825–RM1650),
but if it’s
specially
designed and one-of-a-kind, we can’t really put a price to it.
After all, how do you put a price on exclusivity?
