The Maths doesn't add up here. He sends his three children at ICS (formerly American community School). The most expensive school in the country. The school tuition cost is on par with the washington D.C private school where American presidents send their kids.
He has three children 2 in high school and 1 in middle school.
It costs $36,000 USD per child per year for high school and $31,000 USD for middle school. So the cost adds to $96,000 USD. (or 4 million 7 hundred thousand Birr) WOW!!!
