Aung San Suu Kyi's Historic Home Fails to Attract Bidders at Auction

The auction of the lakeside mansion, where the Myanmar leader spent 15 years under house arrest, saw no offers despite its $150 million starting price.

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.
