According to the Sun, a source at golf club manufacturer Ping in Gainsborough said: "Our top range of golf clubs in Bangkok works out at about £1,000 per set.

"She has homes all over the world and wanted a set for each place. By the time they had done buying stuff like golf bags in Thailand, between them they had got through £40,000."
