Embattled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak could have amassed huge sums of money as much as 70 billion dollars during the decades that he has been a top official.
四面楚歌的埃及總統胡斯尼穆巴拉克可能已積累巨額錢財高達700億美元，在幾十年他一直是高級官員期間。
According to analyses by Middle East experts, Mubarak has taken much of the gains overseas and deposited much of his wealth in secret bank accounts in British and Swiss banks, The Guardian reported on Friday.
根據中東問題專家分析，穆巴拉克已將很多收益運出海外和存放許多他的財富在瑞士和英國銀行的秘密銀行帳戶，上週五衛報報導。
Observers say the Mubaraks have also invested in real estate in London, New York, Los Angeles and along expensive tracts of the Red Sea coast.
觀察家說穆巴拉克已在倫敦、紐約、洛杉磯和沿大片昂貴的紅海海岸投資房地產。
Thirty years in presidential office has helped Mubarak have access to investment deals that have generated hundreds of millions of pounds in profits.
三十年在總統辦公室已幫穆巴拉克獲得投資交易門路，產生數以億鎊計的利潤。
Amaney Jamal, a political science professor at Princeton University, said the estimate of $40bn-70bn was comparable with the vast wealth of leaders in other Persian Gulf countries.
"The business ventures from his military and government service accumulated to his personal wealth," she said.
"There was a lot of corruption in this regime and stifling of public resources for personal gain," she added.
"This is the pattern of other Middle Eastern dictators so their wealth will not be taken during a transition. These leaders plan on this," the professor opined.
Mubarak's sons Gamal and Alaa are said to be billionaires as well, with posh homes in London. Experts also say Mubarak's wife's fortune could be as much as five billion dollars.
Egyptians seek Mubarak's resignation from the top post after 13 days of revolution that has already claimed over 300 lives and thousands of injuries, according to the United Nations.
On Saturday, Egyptian state television announced that Mubarak has resigned as chairman of the ruling National Democratic Party.
Senior members of Mubarak's party also resigned on Saturday, but demonstrators staging days of revolution rejected the shuffle as a cosmetic move.
