Around the world, she is known as greed personified. And now some of her finest jewels will be sold ; an auction of tiaras, necklaces, gems and watches valued at roughly $28 million. A beautiful collection, perhaps, but tainted by its former owner: Imelda Marcos, wife of the now-deceased dictator Ferdinand Marcos. You'll be surprised to know that back in the Philippines, Imelda is a congresswoman, his daughter Imee is a governor and his son, Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr., is now a serious contender for vice-president.
