The money was said to have been spent in the duration of seven years, from the year 2008 till 2015 based on the documents reviewed by WSJ
"Newly revealed documents show (Rosmah) has racked up at least USD6 million in credit card charges in recent years – despite having no known source of income beyond her husband's salary.
**"She is the only child of schoolteachers, hasn't had a regular paying job in years and her husband, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, is a longtime bureaucrat with an annual salary of USD100,000,"** read the WSJ report, according to a report by Malaysiakini on 12 September.
According to the report, most of the purchases were made from London's Harrods, Saks Fifth Avenue and a few other unmentioned places
While it is baffling for many how Rosmah manages to support her indulgent lifestyle, she, however, claims that it is her saving habits that help with it.
"I have bought some jewelry and dresses with my own money. What is wrong with that?" asked Rosmah in her biography titled, 'Biographi Rosmah Mansor'. The 180-page book was published in 2013, with an array of explanations on the [multi-million dollar ring scandal](http://says.com/my/news/what-is-in-rosmah-mansors-biography-altantuyas-murder-as-pm-najibs-wife) and how it is common for a prime minister's spouse to receive expensive gifts.
Earlier this year, on 30 March, the WSJ released reports claiming that Rosmah along with her husband, PM Najib Razak had spent EUR750,000 (RM4.091 million) at an Italian branch of Swiss-owned jewellery store De Grisogono and USD130,635 (RM534,297) at Chanel in Hawaii
According to WSJ, the above expenses made in late 2014, were charged to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's credit card which drew its funds from the [debt-ridden state fund, 1MDB](http://says.com/my/news/wsj-s-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-controversial-1mdb-scandal).
It was also reported that popular Malaysian clothing retailer, Jakel Trading Bhd had received more than USD14 million from PM Najib Razak between 2011 and 2014.
Malaysiakini reported that they had contacted Rosmah's aide Rizal Mansor for comments but they have yet to receive a response on the matter.
