Zimbabwe’s $400 Million Airplane
Given that Zimbabwe is one of the world’s poorest countries, its President flying about in a $400 million plane is quite amusing. This didn’t stop President Mugabe from using it to pay off the country’s existing $40 million debt rather than utilizing taxpayers’ money.
The plane is not only painted in the colors of Zimbabwe’s flag on the outside, but it is also royally decked on the inside. When you’re working from an airplane that looks like this, it’s obvious that thinking about your country’s problems isn’t a priority.
