Argentina's first couple, the Kirschners, recently declared their ownership of 28 properties valued at $3.8m, four companies worth $4.8m and bank deposits of $8.4m.
Since coming to power in 2003 their wealth exploded from $1.7m to $12m.
Many Argentinians believe this growth is a result of influence over local authorities for financial gain. Opposition members of congress have called the property bonanza a scandal and demanded an inquiry.
