Did Wissam Al Mana Gift Janet Jackson Her So Black Birkin Bag?

After reading the bio of Janet Jackson's husband, Wissam Al Mana, one has to wonder if it wasn't he who procured the rare So-Black Birkin bag for Ms. Jackson.

"Wissam Al Mana is Qatari-born retail entrepreneur who has a net worth of $1 billion. Wissam Al Mana built his net worth as managing director of the Al Mana Retail Group. He is one of the richest retail investors in the Middle East. Wissam is a shareholder in the Saks Fifth Avenue stores in Dubai, Doha, Bahrain and Kuwait. He also runs The Al Mana Luxury Company with his three brothers. The Al Mana Luxury Company represents luxury brands such as A/X Armani Exchange, Hermes, Giorgio Armani, Roberto Cavalli and Balenciaga throughout the world. Armani announced that a flagship A/X Exchange will open in Qatar's Villagio Shopping Mall. Wissam Al Mana first achieved world wide fame when he began dating pop superstar Janet Jackson. Rumors have swirled for months over when the couple will get married. In February 2013, Janet shocked the world when she announced that she and Wissam were secretly married in 2012 in a quiet private ceremony. The world media had been speculating that Wissam and Janet were going to get married in a lavish $20 million star-studded wedding sometime in 2013. Wissam Al Mana is 37 years old, nine years younger than Janet."
