Move over Imelda: the untold story of Gucci Grace

Imelda Marcos is most famous for her shoe collection (now in a museum in Manila if you want to see them).

But Gucci Grace has her beat: From the UKGuardian:

The first lady (of Zimbabwe, Grace Mugabe) is reported to have the sort of designer shoe collection that might be expected of a dictator’s wife and, notoriously, is said to have spent $75,000 (£56,000) on luxury goods on a single shopping spree in Paris.

Imelda always claimed their millions were not stolen, but were from Yamashita's gold.

No news where Gucci Grace got her wealth from. LINK (Aust news):

Mugabe owns the Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Co., but the bulk of is reportedly squandered from the country’s wealth. Mugabe has repeatedly been accused of stealing from the country’s coffers and masses of land from white farmers during land seizures in 2000.
According to a 2001 US diplomatic cable, later released by the whistle-blowing organisation WikiLeaks, Mugabe has about $1.75 billion-worth of assets, mostly invested outside Zimbabwe.It said that while reliable information was difficult to find, there were rumours his assets “include everything from secret accounts in Switzerland, the Channel Islands and the Bahamas to castles in Scotland”.
