Farkash, from a family from Obeidat tribe from Eastern Libya and Hungarian origin, was born in Bayda, and trained as a nurse.
The couple have seven biological children of their own, one step-son from Gaddafi's first marriage, and two adopted children:
The family's main residence was in the Bab al-Azizia military barracks, located in the southern suburbs of Tripoli.
Farkash kept a low profile during the initial period of her marriage to Gaddafi. However, after the release on license of Lockerbie bomber Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi in 2009, she took a more public profile. She organised a party covered by the local media to celebrate the anniversary of the 1969 revolution that brought her husband to power, and in 2010 attended the graduation of female police students.
In 2008, Farkash was elected vice president to the African First Ladies Organization in a meeting of African Union leaders in Sharm al-Sheikh, even though she was not present at the meeting, and has never taken part in activities related to it.
Farkash owns airline Buraq Air, headquartered at Mittiga International Airport. Operated with the approval of her husband, even though it is a rival of the Libyan national carrier, it monopolizes the transfer of Libyan Hajj pilgrims to Mecca.
It is estimated that Farkash's has an independent wealth of US$30Bn, which includes 20 tons of gold. It was often reported that Gaddafi enjoyed the company of young women. His own bodyguard, the Amazonian Guard, were entirely made up of trained female soldiers. Many reporters also often suggested that Gaddafi relied heavily on his long-time Ukrainian nurse, Galyna Kolotnytska. Described by Gene Cretz, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, as the "voluptuous blonde, without whom Gaddafi never travels." The characterization surfaced after the secret diplomatic cable sent by Cretz was revealed by WikiLeaks as a part of its United States diplomatic cables leak. The cable was sent from the United States embassy in Tripoli on September 29, 2009. It was also revealed that the Libyan government sent a private jet to ferry her from Libya to Portugal to meet up with the Leader during his rest-stop. Kolotnytska alone is said to have "known Gaddafi's routine." Hence, some embassy officials and media reporters have claimed that Gaddafi and Kolotnytska had a romantic relationship, but this has been denied by Kolotnytska's daughter Tatyana and her mother Iryna.
The couple have seven biological children of their own, one step-son from Gaddafi's first marriage, and two adopted children:
The family's main residence was in the Bab al-Azizia military barracks, located in the southern suburbs of Tripoli.
