Halima Boland received gifts worth $800000 from Saudi King?

A Social Media star and Kuwait TV personality, Halima Boland, raised controversy again on social media sites, after a video spread during her visit to Saudi Arabia.

In a series of videos shared online, Boland showed her followers the different gifts she received, while expressing excitement and thanking her gift-givers.

The lavish gifts she had received, featuring three million riyals ($800,000) in flowers, jewelry, perfume, abayas, along with a placard that read, "Halima Abduljalil Boland, the most beautiful women in the world would be slaves under your feet." 

An emblem of the Saudi king could be seen among the gifts, leading her to believe they were sent by King Salman, according to Alaraby.

Halima was critically criticized for appearing in a private session with Sheikh Saeed bin Tahnoon bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, and is giving her dessert.

The controversy was not only at the time of the visit but was exacerbated by the publication of a video of her daughter Maria, a six-year-old luxury car for her birthday.

She went with her daughter to the motor show, to choose the car she wanted, in order to take her daily to school with the driver.

It is not the first time that Halima Bulent has raised controversy, and has already posted at its own expense in Snapchat a video of the precious gifts that her suite has reached her place of residence in Riyadh.

After video becoming viral & controversial on social media, an Emirati news channel reported on Tuesday that the Saudi police arrested three men - of Saudi, Lebanese and Indian nationalities - for tricking Boland into believing the gifts were from the king.

Neither Boland, nor the Saudi authorities, have issued a statement about the gifts or the real sender.

In response, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) announced that authorities are investigating the incident and taking action against the men behind the gifts.
