13 million worth of belly-dancing

The French magazine Jane A Frique, describing Egyptian belly-dancer Fifui Abdou as the most famous belly-dancer in Egypt, said that Abdou, 50, had become a towering figure and her fame challenged even the pyramids.

The magazine, issued last week, disclosed that Abdou has made 1.3 million US dollars in the past three years and the tax collectors succeeded in getting 15 percent of these proceeds.
