Doubt his hard work amounted to near £2 billion though!

Plenty of good accountants in the world who have made clients big money who aint billionaires on the back of it.

I read he invested in the same things as Usmanov did, obviously in a smaller way at first but simply by following his boss he became Brewsted.

Hopefully, as you can still vote + change your vote and 3+ years means 3 years, 4 years 5 years etc (which ia where we are) the penny will soon drop

I see what you mean now, fair enough it just wasn't very clear to me.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was. He's probably got dealings with every major oligarch in Russia...

And I'd imagine it's something along the lines of: If you want to do business in Mother Russia, Vlad must get his cut first.
If you don't play ball, well, being no.1 on Putin's crap list is a very scary place to be. Then those Russian mafia accusations don't sound so far-fetched when he's probably using them as his underground enforcers.

I'm curious about the Musk comment... I take it that you're not a fan, and like most well-rounded observant folk, you can see through all of his BS?

i have A bit of a love hate relationship with Elon Musk. His companies are fantastic, and I want a Tesla more than most things in life

I just can’t stand him as an individual. He’s a conspiracy theory promoting, bordering on antivax cretin With some fairly horrendous political views

I couldn’t agree more with you mate.
His companies are doing some amazing things, to deny that would be crazy.

That whole episode where he called that British deep sea diver a pedophile on Twitter just because his ego took a bit of a bruising pretty much sums up Musk as a human being for me.

Farhad pops out to his local Coutts cash point to check his balance.

£2, 000, 000, 000.

Here's me stuck with my £500 agreed overdraft with First Direct.

I do not think the screens are big enough to show a figure like that.

In the end he told people to call him Snookie and he spent his days trying to catch fish in empty swimming pool.
From criminal mastermind to 'Snookie' is quite a laugh. A combination of brain rotting syphillis and a driven accountant can do that to you.


Lol mate... I myself am an accountant who only ever got a pat on the back and a 'Well done lad!' when I saved my clients money.

No Uzzi's for me lad.

You did not invoice for work done, Wow how generous.

Is it just me or does anyone else think his wealth is alot higher than that has been public stated? I've seen in various financial publications his wealth at around 1.9 billion.

So over time we've seen other Premier league owners with a reported bigger wealth spew at spending anywhere near what he has in essence wasted on us. Find it hard to believe that someone who's made career out of looking after peoples money would spend 500 million his 1.9 billion fortune purely out of love for football unless the well was lot deeper?

I know people will come back with "it's not his money" but i'am more interested in if his personal fortune is alot higher than we've been told.

The clue is in the title - Billionaire and Accountant
Any Accountant worth his salt should be able to publicly admit to only 1 billion...just for appearances sake, whilst keeping the exact number under his accountants hat

Now that's what I'd call a 'big hat'..........

I mean it was only a joke, but....

"Green eyeshades are a type of visor that were worn most often from the late-19th century to the mid-20th century by accountants, telegraphers, copy editors and others engaged in vision-intensive, detail-oriented occupations to lessen eyestrain due to early incandescent lights and candles, which tended to be harsh (the classic banker's lamp had a green shade for similar reasons)."
