JAKARTA - Bashar al-Assad's life during his tenure as President of Syria is inversely proportional to the condition of his people who have fallen economically. Assad is flooded with wealth, amidst the country's poverty.
Assad has several garages full of luxury cars, one of which is in the presidential palace complex.
CNN exclusive reports show Aston Martin, Lamborghini, and Ferrari lined up in the parking lot. CNN reports that outside of this parking lot, there are many more parking lots filled with dozens of armored cars.
The cars show very deep corruption by the Assad regime, which is a big reason why the uprising began in 2011.
Assad ruled for several years, like his father decades before.
The cars, called CNN reports, symbolize the level of corruption and greed, showing the luxury and luxurious lifestyle Assad is living while so many Syrians are struggling to get food.
Over the past 14 years the Syrian people have been under bombing, they have been tortured, deformed, kidnapped, killed.

While Assad lived like a king with a garage full of cars. With the palace, with incredible mosaics and marble.
We witnessed at the palace some ordinary people who managed to sneak in with their jaws held. They can't believe how he lived like this at a time when Syria was suffering so badly. So it's really a metaphor for rotary roots, where it all started, "reported CNN journalist Clarissa Ward.
While many people celebrate the end of the Assad regime, Syrians are also worried about who will control their country.
The Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group (HTS) struggled to show they were different from the old group, refusing to use or touch luxury vehicles to show their differences from Assad.
