Overview

• Aung San Suu Kyi's iconic lakeside mansion in Yangon was auctioned with a starting price of $150 million but received no bids.
• The house, a symbol of Suu Kyi's fight for democracy, was put up for sale following a legal dispute with her brother, Aung San Oo.
• Suu Kyi, currently serving a 27-year sentence, lived in the house during her house arrest and after her release, hosting global leaders.
• The auction comes amid Suu Kyi's continued detention by Myanmar's military junta, following a coup that ousted her in February 2021.
• The property's sale was ordered by the supreme court after a years-long legal battle between Suu Kyi and her estranged brother.
