UK Telegraph ^ | December 31 2009 | Damien McElroy and Ahmad Vahdat

A catalogue of the private opulence and eccentric tastes of 70-year-old Ayatollah Khamenei and his family has been compiled by Iran's opposition Green Movement from the accounts of the defector, who is said to be in hiding in France.

Among his claims are that Ayatollah Khamenei has a voracious appetite for trout and caviar; is an avid hoarder of collectables from bejewelled pipes to fine horses; and that he suffers regular bouts of depression which are treated in part by audiences with a mid-ranking mullah who tells vulgar jokes.

“he suffers regular bouts of depression”

widespread rumours in Iran the Ayatollah has used opium.

I could believe that...

In a way he sounds like a rich Saudi prince...collects shiny toys and prized horses and eats caviar. I loved the part about the walking sticks. That would explain why he's holding one in every dang picture of him.
