War in heaven

A Turkish Facebook friend linked to this.  I have a strong suspicion that this is how the beautiful billionaires and their beautiful acolytes actually live -- and compete.



Update: I know what this reminds me of -- the movie Blood of Heroes...not the fighting, but the Podunk aristocrats who hung around the competitors.

This is how people live in Studio 54 in 1984

Oh some certainly do. Bios with stories of $130,000 bar tabs for multi-million hockey players etc.
China's richest man, Zong Qinghou eats in the company canteen and estimates that he spends less than $20/day. "I spend less than my employes, he says, "simply because I have no time." (Bloomberg Business Week 21 March 2011). Bill Gates on the other hand has spare time so he plays bridge. :)
Still not as much fun as a $100 book.

If the disputes of the rich were all decided by dance-offs and rap contests, firstly things would be a lot more amusing, healthy and peaceful, and secondly people would care a damn sight more about words.
