His ex-wife Soraya, who presented her husband with a $2.5 billion divorce suit seven years ago that was resolved amicably, was also at the house: she got a less expensive ruby necklace.

His four sons and one daughter by his first wife, Soraya, are all students in the U.S. He and his second wife, Lamia, have a son Ali, 7, who lives most of the time at their house in Cannes.

She is, however, happy to discuss another private passion: photography. And in the seclusion of her Venice villa she has turned her Nikon on her favorite subject-herself. "I have been a professional photographer for 15 years," she confides. "My work has been published, but Adnan never let me use my name, so they gave me all kinds of crazy credits...
...court she spoke of him as "Mr. X." Privately, beauteous Soraya Khashoggi, 38, ex-wife of Saudi Billionaire Adnan Khashoggi, confided to the judge at an Old Bailey trial of three detectives accused of blackmailing her, who the Member of Parliament was with whom she had enjoyed "more than a friendship." He turned out to have an X-ellent name: Winston Churchill, 39, grandson of Britain's wartime Prime Minister. Since young Winston at the time was the Conservative Party's junior shadow defense minister, the disclosure raised questions. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher squelched them by informing...
