I'll bet there's more than one...that being said, I do find such an enourmous house to be crass and in the worst possible taste, but the libertarian in me says if this woman can afford it and wants to build it, that is her prerogative...if these other snobs don't like it, they can move, as they could obviously afford to...just another form of the old guard trying to keep things their way...these people probably wich conenants keeping jews and blacks out of Greenwich could still be enforced...;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-24758445014111348902008-04-17T18:56:00.000-07:002008-04-17T18:56:00.000-07:00It's my understanding that the rich "ladee" identi...It's my understanding that the rich "ladee" identified here is actually a man - Valery Kogan, about whom very little is known. <BR/><BR/>About a month ago he drove the Isreali business and real-estate world crazy by purchasing five lots in Caesarea, a total of 11.5 dunams, for $17 million, on which to build an estate. Amid the media circus, it was reported that the Jewish businessman is connected to the secret services in Russia, and that he is close to former president Vladimir Putin.<BR/><BR/>The aura of mystery increased when news came of the impressive rise in Kogan's wealth, at least according to the Russian magazine Finans. In 2007 it showed him in 499th place on the list of the richest people in Russia, worth $90 million. A year later he skipped up to 157th place with $600 million.<BR/><BR/>The only thing that is known for certain is that Kogan is connected to East Line, which operates Domodedovo International Airport, the largest airport in Russia, with 13-14 million people passing through each year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-21559721704495118822008-04-17T18:46:00.000-07:002008-04-17T18:46:00.000-07:00Remember, this is a computer generated plan.
