The royal family bought Harrods in London a few months back.<br /><br />I agree with the others that the board will not approve of the sale for the standard security reasons and also because rich Gulf Arabs do not go anywhere without an entourage and the last thing the board wants is large entourages hogging the elevators or intimidating the ladies who lunch taking fluffy out for a walk.<br /><br />Still, if he does by some miracle, get approved of by the board the apartments will all be completely redone in the typical rich Arabian gulf style: gilt, gilt and lots and lots of gilt. And marble. Tons of marble. Plenty of faux French furniture. No antiques, mind you, but the fake knockoffs. The decorative tastes of rich Gulf Arabs is like the 19th century robber barons - no taste and flaunt it baby! <br /><br />That said, there is a tiny chance, perhaps 1%, that they might actually do a rather restrained very modernist renovation.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10295578997809611422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-85492838290765173732012-05-06T19:23:46.869-07:002012-05-06T19:23:46.869-07:00Dearest Mama

It's very easy for construction of these types of yachts to reach into the hundreds of millions of dollars, but crossing the billion dollar mark is usually just speculation. It's almost impossible to know the true build cost of yachts like Al Miqab; very few people outside the owner, the owner's build rep, and one or two people at the yard really know what was spent, and it's rare for any of them to talk.Grrrowlernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-82364223877392025832012-05-04T17:12:08.863-07:002012-05-04T17:12:08.863-07:00My suggestion would be that the money from Ms. Cla...My suggestion would be that the money from Ms. Clark's estate be given to the community of Butte, MT, and the surrounding areas, that are still suffering from the environment effects caused by the generation of her fortune.Doug-g (too lazy to log-onnoreply@blogger.com
