EBay For Billionaires?

EBay For Billionaires?
Brief Date: 
11th Nov 2009
Brief Author: 
By Steven Bertoni

In the market for a 51-carat pink diamond? How about a $74 million, 313-room resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico? Perhaps you'd like to buy Alex Rodriguez's Miami mansion for $9,999,999?

These items--plus a slew of other pricey toys--are available on a new auction site aimed at the mega-rich. But will anyone with a significant net worth actually buy a big-ticket item online?

BillionaireXchange.com, which launched this week, touts itself as the first online marketplace exclusively for billionaires. Of course, it's not; there were only 793 billionaires on the planet at our last tally of the World's Billionaires. The members-only site requires clients to have a mere $2 million in liquid assets.

Facebook in 10 years......

25th August, 2009
By Nick Vaidya

Has the facebook phenomenon reached maturity and equilibrium or are we to expect change?  It is, indeed, a lot of things to a lot of people.  It is a social resume.  It is a directory of people? It is play ground? It is a blow horn? And on and on....Whatever it may be to you, it evolves for each individual. What do you think it will look like in 10 years from now?  

Quote of the Day

“
There are a lot of things that go into creating success. I don't like to do just the things I like to do. I like to do things that cause the company to succeed. I don't spend a lot of time doing my favorite activities.
- Michael Dell
