| Russia's richest woman buys Fame Academy mansion for £50m - only a year after it was sold for £32m | | 2008-07-16 05:38:34 | | After being sold last year for £32million, the biggest private house in London bar Buckingham Palace has just been bought for £50million - a 56 per cent rise in 12 months. Witanhurst, a 90-room Grade II Queen Anne listed mansion in Highgate, is the latest investment by the Mayor of Moscow's wife Elena Baturina.She is the richest woman in Russia in her own right with a fortune of £1.3billion. The property has been used for the BBC's Fame Academy in the past and the Queen even played tennis there as a girl at a pre-Wimbledon party hosted by a former owner.It is in a dilapidated state, with holes in the ceilings and crumbling cornices, and no work has been done on it since it was bought from an Arab family by property developer Marcus Cooper last July. But with her company, Inteco, said to be the most successful building conglomerate of the post-Soviet era, 45-year-old Miss Baturina should have no problem restoring Witanhurst to its former glory.

| | List of Top 10 Richest Person in the World | | 2008-06-02 18:30:05 | | When we talk about the richest person in the world, you would most likely think of Bill Gates or Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah.

So Warren Buffett tells German magazine Der Spiegel in an interview to be published on Monday."It is perhaps not a recession in the way that economists would understand it... but people are already feeling the effects and it will be deeper and longer than people think," Buffett said on a visit to Frankfurt.Buffett, the 77-year-old chief of the Berkshire Hathaway holding company, blamed financial institutions for introducing instruments "they can no longer control" and said the "genie can no longer be put back in the bottle."Buffett, who overtook Bill Gates this year as the world's richest man, said he believed the financial markets should be more tightly regulated.According to the Forbes annual billionaire's list published in March, Buffett saw his wealth jump from 52 billion dollars last year to 62 billion, pushing Microsoft co-founder Gates into third position af | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |

| Warren Buffet replaces Bill Gates as world's richest person | | 2008-03-05 22:19:00 | | US financier Warren Buffett has overtaken Bill Gates as the world's richest man, according to Forbes annual billionaire's list, which this year saw Russia, China and India making increasing inroads. Buffett, the 77-year-old chief of the Berkshire Hathaway holding company, saw his wealth jump from 52 billion dollars last year to 62 billion, pushing Microsoft co-founder Gates into third position after 13 years at the top. Mexico's telecom mogul Carlos Slim Helu grabbed second place with a tidy nest egg of 60 billion dollars, up from 49 billion last year. Buffett, who announced in 2006 he was giving the majority of his fortune to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, saw his wealth spike mostly due to the rising value of his Berkshire Hathaway stock.

| | Strongest, Richest and the Dumbest | | 2008-01-11 00:08:56 | | I am guessing most of the readers here must have heard of the Chasers. If not you might want to find out a little about them over here --> (Click Here Dummy). Anyways, they have played many pranks and humiliated a lot of politicians and celebrities, but the video we are posting is about normal people from the great nation of United States of America. Boasting to be the biggest political power in the world, it seems the country might have skimmed some of their dirty money that perhaps was supposed to be used for education, and spent it all on useless wars against countries like Afghanistan and Iraq (It's pronounced Ee-raq fuckhead).Anyways, I don't want to bag the Americans so much as it ain't really their fault thatthe funding is not available in their schools, so they may actually learn something in schools. What has happened is unfortunate, but it has. We all just love a great laugh, just the Americans in the spotlight this time.EnjoyPS* Don't be offended by this video.

This is incredible India!Mukesh Abmani consider whole of Reliance Industries Ltd as his parental property. He conveniently forgets that he is a shareholder and also takes salary for the jobs he does for the limited company. He has absolutely no legal and ethical right consider the total value of Reliance to declare his own personal asset that makes his “ the richest in the world”. Mukesh needs some lesson on corporate governance and honesty from people like Ratan Tata, who declined (to Forbes magazine) to consider Tata Sons as his own property, unlike the Ambanis. We can purchase degrees even from universities like Stanford but not education. No wonder Reliance has a pathetic reputation as an employer and very poor employee retention record. | | By: Prethi Kulkarni | | |

She is also an influential book critic, an Academy Award-nominated actress, and a magazine publisher.Born in rural poverty, then raised by a mother on welfare in the ghetto, Winfrey became a millionaire at age 32 when her talk show went national. Because of the amount of revenue the show generated, Winfrey was in a position to negotiate ownership of the show and start her own production company. By 1994 the show's ratings were still thriving and Winfrey negotiated a contract that earned her nine figures a year. Considered the richest woman in entertainment by the early 1990s, at age 41 Winfrey's wealth crossed another milestone when with a net worth of $340 million, she replaced Bill Cosby as the only African American on the Forbes 400.

She is noted for her ambitious music videos and stage performances as well as using political, sexual, and religious themes in her work.She could have easily disappeared into pop obscurity like the other frothy pop tartlets (Cyndi Lauper, Neneh Cherry) who came to fame on nascent MTV in the early 1980s. But Madonna's masterful manipulation of her image and the press, combined with an astute business sense, have crowned her as one of entertainment's wealthiest and most enduring acts.

Born to a large, impoverished family in Charlemagne, Quebec, Dion became a young star in francophone Canada after her manager and future husband, René Angélil, mortgaged his home to finance her first record. She later gained recognition in parts of Europe and Asia after she won both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.The Canadian chanteuse's exclusive five-year gig at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas has vaulted her into fifth place. Dion's stationary extravaganza is more profitable than one that requires paying roadies in every major city in the world. An estimated 140 million albums sold worldwide hasn't hurt her bottom line either; her single "My Heart Will Go On"--the theme song for the blockbuster Titanic--sold over 15 million copies alone.** | | By: What I Think... | | |
