Woman in the mirror?

Ok, this has nothing to do with technology but I just read this on Reuters and found this so weird. Michael Jackson went shopping in Bahrain dressed as a woman. A Reuters photographer saw him in the mall dressed in an ‘Abaya’, which is a full length robe. He was in all black, with sunglasses and gloves and a veil covering his face and his men’s shoes were peeping out. For company, he had 3 western looking children (???) and an unidentified woman.
"Please, no!" Jackson shouted to photographers before making a rapid exit with the children and woman via the back door of the mall and into a white car.
I thought he is broke, where is he getting money to shop from? Oh wait, that’s not the thing I should be focusing on
