Obama’s Final Tab for the G-20 Summit Leaves Other World Leaders in the Dust
By Michael Hausam (5 hours ago) | Nation, Politics, World
Last month, the President spent one night in Brisbane, Australia, before speaking at the G20 Summit.
Now, thanks to a little digging by The Weekly Standard, we know that no expense was spared for him.
The bill for the one night’s stay exceeded $1.7 million at the Brisbane Marriott, whose tagline is “The Epitome of Five Star Elegance.”
Here are the details:
- The presidential delegation required 4,096 rooms.
- Three different hotels were used.
- Logistics, security, and negotiating teams were there in advance of – and subsequent to – his visit.
- The entire floor he stayed on was completely stripped down and examined prior to his arrival.
- His suite was aptly named “The Presidential Suite” and cost just over $2,135 for the night.

The U.K.’s Daily Mail provided some insight on how some other leaders were accommodated, and there’s a stark difference:
British PM Cameron’s room cost 1/2 that amount, Russia’s Putin spent 74% less, and Australian PM Abbott’s room cost 88% less.
Chinese President Jinping was the silver-medal winner and spent only $1,400 for his room.
And Japan’s Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, was forced to get by in a room that was only $171.60 per night.
When it comes to big-spending and making an impressive display of opulence, it seems our President is second to none.
