This is the wealth that Bashar al-Assad's family may have received in

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fled Damascus on Sunday, December 8, dramatically ending his nearly 14-year struggle to hold on to power as his country was torn apart by a bitter civil war and turned into a battlefield for regional and international forces.

Bashar al-Assad, his British wife and their three grown children have left their Syrian palaces behind and are expected to start a new life in Russia after being granted asylum by Vladimir Putin.

Asma Al-Assad, the London-born daughter of a doctor who married Assad, is accustomed to a life of luxury, with reports that she spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on household furnishings and clothes during her husband's rule.

And according to  foreign media, the US State Department estimates that the family has $2 billion, with their wealth hidden in multiple accounts.

According to foreign media, the Syrian dictator's family bought at least 20 apartments in Moscow worth more than £30 million in recent years, illustrating Russia's status as a safe haven.
