Find out how the super rich really live…

People often wonder how the super wealthy really live, well we are going to fill in a few blanks.

A favorite prize is the Gulfstream, the private jet of choice, with the latest model, the G550 ($47 million), the most coveted. It flies anywhere in the world nonstop, lands at large and small airports, connects wirelessly at 50,000 ft. (15,240 m) and receives 100% fresh air every 90 seconds. ”

The watch of choice at present is the Patek Philippe. The top model retails for $800,000 to $900,000, and its purchase requires the following protocol: an interview with the company in Geneva, approval and placement on a waiting list of one to four years. Waiting lists and 10-figure net worths are like oil and water, however.

Shaq sells miami mansion to A-Rod!!!

Rumor has it that Shaq has finally sold his Star Island Mansion in Miami to none other than Baseball great Alex Rodriguez. Shaq purchased the property for $18.8 million in 2004 but we guess he has no need for the huge crib anymore being that he and Shaunie are getting a divorce. Shaq has sold the mansion for in between $25 million and $27 million. And we know A-Rod can afford to cop the property given the huge amount of money he is seeking in his new contract.

Microsoft might invest in Facebook!

The rumors are swirling on Wall Street about a possible investment of $300-$500 million investment from Microsoft, which would land Facebook’s current total value in between $10-$15billion! Wow and this whole time we thought Peter Thiel (one of Facebook’s investors) was smoking rocks when he said that $1billion offer for the company was laughable. Thiel said that he placed Facebook’s value somewhere around $7 or $8 billion up there with MTV.

Zuckerberg said last year that he felt that Myspace sold themselves short to Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp for $580 million. He was probably right because in the next few months video giant YouTube sold out to Google for $1.65billion in stock.

So whatever is going on in silicon valley it seems that Mark Zuckerberg has the right idea and knows how to play the game. (The longer you hold out and refuse to sell, the more value it places on your company and product! Wow its just like dating. The longer a female withholds her goodies the harder the guy tries, the more he likes her, and he ends up spending more money for that ass!) Don’t you just love our business acumen???
