Despite bearing the brunt of stiff international sanctions, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un continues to splash cash on personal luxuries and advancing the country's weapons program.
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and other world leaders are hoping "unprecedented pressure" should be brought to bear on the hermit kingdom including sanctions on the country's foreign trading back, a block on remittances and bans on coal, iron ore and seafood.
But if the sanctions are having any effect on Kim's lifestyle, he's certainly not showing it. The Supreme Leader's recent purchases are thought to include a gleaming white yacht, expensive liquors and even the equipment necessary to kit out a luxury ski resort, according to CNN.
The country purchased $645.8 million ($900 million) worth of luxury goods in 2012, CNN stated according to a 2014 report from the UN.
The numbers just don't add up. In March, North Korea's state media warned citizens to prepare for economic hardships ahead as the rogue nation channeled funding into its weapons program.
