It is not only here in Brazil that Michel Temer's wife is headline. This week Matt Roper, an international correspondent for the British Daily Mail news portal, also published an extensive article about Marcela Temer and compared the acting president's wife to Marie Antoinette, the former French queen famous for her extravagant lifestyle.

According to Matt, Marcela is the kind of woman who gets everything she wants - and insists on having only the best and the best. The Briton explained that the "interim first lady" has been heavily criticized by the people for symbolizing the country's social inequality and has been accused of refusing to give up her luxury and pomp despite the recession plaguing the country.

Opulence

According to the report, in 2011, when Michel Temer took over as vice president and received the keys to Jaburu Palace, the second official residence in the succession line of the residence, Marcela would have demanded that a millionaire makeover be carried out on site - all paid with public money.

Marcela stayed at the couple's residence in Sao Paulo - valued, according to Matt, at £ 2 million, equivalent to just under $ 10.5 million - during the works and, after moving to Brasilia, insisted that her mother and sister also went to the capital of the country.

Incidentally, to accommodate his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Michel Temer would have bought a five-bedroom house valued at £ 1.5 million and rented a second four-bedroom residence whose rent is around £ 10 million. $ 25K In addition, although the Temer family only come to Sao Paulo on sporadic weekends, a true battalion of staff would be maintained to look after the house in the state capital.

Also according to the story, the Temers rented a back-up house near their Sao Paulo residence - “equipped” with 52 staff, including an elite bodyguard team - all at the cost of £ 20, 000. $ 100, 000) per month, also paid by the taxpayer's pocket.

Beautiful, modest, homey and wasteful

Matt from the Daily Mail says that after Marcela moved to Brasilia, Palace spending skyrocketed. The family has four employees who are exclusively dedicated to washing and ironing for the Temers, as well as a nanny, cook, and two maids. As if it were little, Marcela would still have the help of her mother and sister to take care of Michelzinho - who is 7 years old.

But the first lady would not count on her mother and sister to assist her with the care of her son. All three would often be seen shopping in the city's malls and used to be regulars at aesthetic clinics.

Apparently, many of the treatments would now be performed at home by a team of professionals including manicurists, hairdressers, nutritionists, dermatologists, personal trainers, etc. Even the rides of Thor, the couple's golden retriever, would have been delegated to the first lady's staff.

The report also pointed out that women take frequent first-class shopping trips to the US, and that Marcela often closes upscale restaurants for quiet dining with the vice president. All of this, according to the Daily Mail, amid Temer's announcements that public spending needs to be cut - and suspected that he would also be involved in corruption cases.
