Interview with Billionaire Alki David

[rico]

Very good interview this, from England's Sunday Times

http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/money/article3558739.ece

Highlight for me was...

Do you have any credit cards? I have a Gold Mastercard and an Amex Gold. I also have an Amex Black Centurion (an invitation-only card that costs £650 a year). I once financed an entire reality TV show on that card. It cost a couple of hundred thousand euros in all. Some of the money was to pay off a customs fine because we were caught trying to bring a tarantula into Switzerland for the show.

The best take-out from the article was:
What is the most important lesson you have learnt about money? That with it comes responsibility.

The responsibility part is a bagage sometimes. But, well, if you want to have advantages you will need give something else back also.

Oh, man, I LOVED this interview.

My fave part?

Are you financially better off than your parents?

My father’s dead, so I have more money than him.
