The U.S. ambassadors have to put up their own money for a lot of official entertaining because the U.S. State Department doesn't have the budget. That's why our ambassadors usually are very rich. I dug up this story so you can get an idea.

: LUcas,

: Our country may be small in term qm2 or
: inhabitants, but there is no small
: mindedness around here. Dutch people always
: have an eye for the financial side of things
: and do not like that state money is used for
: private affaires, be it form any state
: employee or members of the RF. I cannot see
: that is actually smal mindlessness, but
: rather common sense and I suppose actually
: very often the law in many country, However,
: in certain countries not enforced. The
: results of such cavalier attitude are pretty
: visible .

: A member of the Dutch government has got
: much
: publicity (even more than he already gets
: these days..) due to the fact that his
: pre-wedding party was held in Paris, in the
: rather posh Dutch Embassy.
: Questions were raised why he would only pay
: for the catering and not for the use of this
: building - which is, after all, funded and
: maintained by tax-payers money.
:
: Dutch news-papers now have found out that
: Queen Maxima used the - equally posh - Dutch
: Embassy in Vienna, June 2014, to offer a
: lunch for her brother Juan Zorreguieta, his
: bride Andrea Wolf and all their wedding
: guests.
