billionaire

What happened tonight won't change a thing.""You're mistaken, Lila. Everything started changing the moment we met.

Sex or sleep? What will it be, Lila?

A million dollars. Think about it for a moment. It__ not just a large number _ it__ a symbol of everything we__e been told to want in this world. Foreign cars with doors that swing up like magical wings. Houses with in-ground pools and wine cellars. Wines that are older than you, and foods with names that can__ be pronounced by mere mortals. A million dollars would open the kind of doors the general public doesn__ even know exist.

Hard. That was what he looked like. That was what you first noticed about him: a hard, chiselled face, like that that of some ancient Greek statue.

For him, she was the evil one; the antagonist to his life story. The reason he was married at an early age.And to her, he would always be her infatuation gone horribly wrong.

Like most cities, London could be a lonely place...

If we had a penny for each time God smiled at us, we would all be billionaires.

Nothing could replace the feeling of total devotion from another person.

Although she was beautiful, he knew that that wasn__ enough anymore.

His silent, stony face was only inches away now. He was so near, so terribly near _ and then he moved to close the last bit of distance.

His lips reached mine and enveloped them, soft as velvet and yet unyielding.

The air between them was electric, the scent of his aftershave was intoxicating and she could feel the testosterone bouncing off him. She could immediately tell he was a powerful man.

The main obstacle to further progress on the resource curse is China, and to a lesser extent India.

As I like to put it, we have hit pay dirt. The effort to cure the resource curse is a good example of what private foundations working with NGOs can accomplish.

Of course, he__ not actually a Billionaire. He__ a Billionaire__ Heir, which is wholly different from a Billionaire. A Billionaire can__ get cut off. A Billionaire__ Heir, on the other hand, can. And at the moment my Billionheir__ money spigot is in the off position. At this point, Kanish is down to his last $120,000, and I shouldn__ have to say it, but $120,000, a significant sum of money for most of us, does not a Billionaire make. Not even close.Suppose you were paid $120,000 in cash every single day of your life starting today. It would take you just shy of twenty-three years to accumulate your first billion, and that__ assuming you__e not spending any of it. You__ also need a mattress the size of a two-meter-square room, and that__ assuming you__e stuffing it with neat stacks of $100 denominations.Now, if you decided to invest your daily $120,000 payments, and you did so shrewdly, then the pace at which you acquired wealth would quicken considerably. With that kind of guaranteed daily income, banks would beg you to borrow money from them, and it wouldn__ be long before that daily $120K installment would be enough leverage for billions in secured loans. With billions in real assets on the books, you would be a Billionaire, despite a paltry income of only $120,000 per day. You see, wealth is judged not by what you have, but rather by what you owe.As usual, I digress.

Look at the huge success of Fifty Shades of Grey. The girl in the book lets a rich guy beat her and ritually rape her, and she likes it! She finds it erotic! But imagine if Christian Grey wasn't a billionaire. Imagine if he lived in a dirty old trailer down by the river. Then that story wouldn't be a sexy romance novel, but an episode of CSI.

Beauty and desire to possess have driven men mad for centuries. Add a hundred and twenty billion dollars annually to that equation and you have serious trouble.

Being a billionaire helps when you live in a slum and have to eat scraps of food and drink dirty water.
