Jill Biden gets the priciest gift from a foreign leader in 2023 — a $20,000 diamond

NYP: President Joe Biden and his family were given tens of thousands of dollars in gifts from foreign leaders in 2023, according to an annual accounting published by the State Department on Thursday, with first lady Jill Biden receiving the single most expensive present: a $20,000 diamond from India’s leader.

The 7.5-carat diamond from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was easily the most costly gift presented to any member of the first family in 2023, although she also received a brooch valued at $14,063 from the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States and a bracelet, brooch and photograph album worth $4,510 from the president and first lady of Egypt.

The US president himself received a number of expensive presents, including a commemorative photo album valued at $7,100 from South Korea’s recently impeached President Suk Yeol Yoon, a $3,495 statue of Mongolian warriors from the Mongolian prime minister, a $3,300 silver bowl from the sultan of Brunei, a $3,160 sterling silver tray from the president of Israel, and a collage worth $2,400 from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. more

  1. “ Vanessa Valdivia, a spokesperson for Jill Biden, said the diamond will be turned over to the archives after they leave office…”

    Bullshit. I’ll believe it when I see it.

  2. As I remember these gifts are required to be reported and are either property of the Government or they need to pay taxes on them if they claim them as theirs. In fact I know I’m right. What are the odds the trailer trash crew kept them with out paying taxes? I’m thinking pretty good odds.

    “7.5 carat / twenty grand? Either it ain’t of any quality or it’s lab created.”

    According to the article, she has the option of buying it when she “leaves office” (!). Looks like she will get a 7.5 carat diamond for the bargain price if $20,000!

    …unless that “collage” is made of $100 bills and some of Jewish gold teeth Nazi loving Zelinskyy got from dubious Argentinian sources, ain’t NO way the petit piano porker could make ANYTHING artistic worth the feces Hunter Biden crafts his masterworks from…
