Hamas leaders worth staggering $11B revel in luxury — while Gaza’s people suffer
While their people languish in poverty and are treated as human shields, the leaders of Hamas live billionaire lifestyles.
The terror group’s three top leaders alone are worth a staggering $11 billion between them and enjoy a life of luxury in the sanctuary of the emirate of Qatar.
The emirate has long welcomed the leaders of the terror group and installed them in its luxury hotels and villas.
The terrorist group, which is responsible for the antisemitic Oct. 7 massacre of more than 1,400 innocent civilians in southern Israel, continues to hold 200 hostages in Gaza.
Hamas runs an office in Qatar’s capital, Doha, and leaders Ismail Haniyeh, Moussa Abu Marzuk and Khaled Mashal live a luxurious lifestyle.
Mashal
They have been seen at its diplomatic club, photographed on private jets and traveled widely. The leadership would have been there for the 2022 soccer World Cup.
In contrast, most of the population of more than two million in the Gaza Strip, which Hamas has ruled since 2007, live in abject poverty.
Haniyeh, 61, is the head of Hamas’s politbureau.
He ruled the Gaza Strip until 2017 before ending up in Qatar.
Haniyeh, a father of 13 who presides over one of the world’s wealthiest terrorist groups, is worth more than $4 billion.
He has been photographed with his two adult sons, Maaz and Abdel Salam, living the high life in luxury hotels in Qatar and Turkey.
Last week, Haniyeh traveled to Iran to meet with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran is a longtime sponsor of Hamas.
In the past he has stayed at the Four Seasons hotel in Doha. Bill Gates owns a controlling interest in the chain. Among its high-end offerings are suites with sea views starting at $900 a night.
The Hamas biggie’s son Maaz Haniyeh is known as “the father of real estate” in Gaza for his collection of villas and buildings.
He lives a playboy lifestyle in Turkey, and this year obtained a Turkish passport.
Haniyeh senior also has Turkish citizenship.
Terror chief Ismail Haniyeh lives outside of Gaza in Doha, Qatar.

Abu Marzuk, 72, a senior Hamas political leader who heads its “international relations office” is estimated to be worth $3 billion.
He has a masters degree in construction management from Colorado State University and was detained in New York when US immigration authorities found his name on a terrorist watch list in 1995.
And Mashal, 67, who issued a global threat against Jews after Oct. 7 atrocities, is worth more than $4 billion.
Qatar provides Hamas with between $120 million and $480 million per year.
“These funds benefit Hamas leaders directly through payroll and kickback schemes and indirectly through social services and government operations that help Hamas maintain political control over Gaza."
Qatar is also home to the Al Jazeera news channel, which “spreads antisemitism, anti-Americanism and incitement to violence throughout the Arab world.”
Qatar is not the only source of Hamas’ cash. The group also took in nearly $400 million in the last two years from the UN.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency provided Hamas with $380 million since 2021. Much of that cash came from the Biden Administration, which has provided $1 billion to the UNRWA since 2021.
“We know with near certainty that our taxpayer dollars have been delivered into the hands of Hamas.”
