Chinese businessman pays $2.35 million to eat lunch with Warren Buffett

A Chinese multimillionaire businessman has agreed to pay $2,345,678 for a private lunch with one of the world's richest men, Warren Buffett. He won the charity auction to have dinner with the billionaire investor. The money will benefit the Glide Foundation (a nonprofit in San Francisco that provides food, health care, rehabilitation and other services to the poor and homeless)



According to Reuters, Glide said the man, Zhu Ye, chairman of Beijing-based Dalian Zeus Entertainment Co, submitted the highest of 76 bids to win the five-day auction on eBay, which concluded on Friday night. His bid was well below the $3,456,789 winning bid in 2012, still a record for an eBay charity auction, but will help Glide meet its $16 million annual budget. The 16 auctions have raised about $20.2 million.

The man can invite up to seven friends to eat with Buffett at the Smith & Wollensky steakhouse in Manhattan. Buffett, 84, will talk about almost anything, including philanthropy and life, but not what he is buying and selling.

The auctions began in 2000 after Buffett's first wife Susan introduced him to Glide. She died in 2004.
None of the first three winners paid more than $25,000, but the price soared once the auctions, which had been live only, moved online in 2003.

Buffett is worth $69.2bn ranking fourth worldwide. He is donating nearly all his wealth to charity.
The following are the winning bids in the Glide auctions:

UCL Final: Barcelona Are Champions

The Catalans completed their treble tonight, mirroring their 2009 achievement as they won the UCL final match against Juventus in Berlin.

Rakitic, the Croatian that took over Fabregas’ spot, latched onto a Iniesta pass and made no mistake in netting on the 4 minute mark.

The second half was more eventful as Juventus pulled one back via former Los Blancos man, Alvaro Morata.

Suarez did not cease in tensioning the Juve defence and it paid off when he latched on to a rebound and fired home to put Barcelona in the lead again.

Neymar got a goal disallowed, but made up for that in injury time, as he fired home the last shot.

Barcelona are champions of Europe. Rakitic and Suarez and Neymar led them to a 3-1 win over the champions of Italy.

Buhari To Revisit $182m Halliburton Bribery Case, 3 Ex-Leaders Might Be Jailed

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has resurrected the $182 million Halliburton bribery case with an aim to carefully prosecute all those involved in the scandal.

This is as a result of the request from the United States government that unless all the culprits were brought to book, part of the bribe money, about $140 million, recovered and still in the US, would not be repatriated to Nigeria.

The United State government’s report on the Halliburton bribery scandal had indicted three former Nigerian leaders, a former number two citizen, a minister, intelligence chiefs and corporate giants in the list of bribery beneficiaries.

Jeffry Tesler, who was the intermediary in the payment of the bribes paid to secure the contract for the final phase of the multi-billion naira Nationa Liquefied Natural Gas project was sentenced to 21 months in prison and forfeited $148.964 million from his Swiss accounts to the United States government.

It was learnt that the case was investigated four years ago by a security panel headed by retired AIG Ahmadu Ali, who at the end of the case charged a former personal aide to a former Head of State to court but the case was later struck out due to lack of diligent prosecution.

Bale: I’ll Be At Real Madrid Next Season

Former Tottenham forward Gareth Bale has maintained that he will remain at the Santiago Bernabeu come next season.
The 25-year-old made a world record transfer to Real Madrid in 2013, worth €100 million. In his first season at Madrid, he won the champions league but has been heavily criticized this season for a series of below par displays.
Despite this though, the Welshman is confident that he will remain at Madrid come next season.
When asked by The Sun if he will be at Real next season, the Welshman replied: “Of course, yes. I’m a Real Madrid player and I’ll carry on as normal. I am enjoying it and hopefully I can continue to.
“I feel settled. I’m looking forward now to playing and winning more trophies. My goal is to keep improving, performing and to win as many titles as I can.”

Charly Boy Weighs in on Caitlyn Jenner: ‘Inside some men, lies an unexpressed woman’

Veteran musician Charly Boy has added his thoughts to the ongoing argument about Bruce Jenner transforming to Caitlyn Jenner at 65.

He shared a post on Facebook saying:

I must ask you this question. In our pursuit for happiness, do we focus on the dictates of life based on our social environment or on our own personal need of what individually makes us happy? For the past few days the global social media has been agog with Bruce Jenner sex change, he now wishes to be called Caitlyn.

Surfing through some of our local blogs, I have read some yahoo yahoo comments from Nigerians who feel that their yeye comments are really of any importance in the decision taken by this great Olympian, now, the gender bender.

Yes, I saw Bruce Jenner Vanity Fair interview. I read it over and over, it sounded so gutsy, sincere, truthful and so free. Bruce had always been married, had kids, and a successful career but for a long time he had  never been happy and content with being a man. Sometimes we find it difficult understanding what prompts one to make those kinds of changes that are physically and emotionally permanent and we start to speculate, Maybe he wanted to rebrand, wanted to put himself back into serious reckoning again. Yes, sometimes it can be about the drama and the almighty dollars who is to say. However, It just may be devoid of all those and just be a spiritual journey to finding self, purely a pursuit of happiness, about being free, and finding strength to be that which makes one feel complete irrespective of who’s ox is gored!

My take
It is not one’s masculinity or femininity alone that defines one’s identity, it is the harmony between the two that determines how comfortable and integrated one’s identity is going to be.  In other words, shocking as this may be to the more macho in our midst, inside some men, lies an unexpressed woman. And even more shocking is the proposition that the object of masculine identity development is not the elimination of this woman, but acknowledging the existence of, and fine-tuning the feminine side with the masculine part of the identity. In other words, blending the two fundamental principles of yin and yang to influence our behavior.
The “masculine woman” has become more socially acceptable than the “feminine man”, who is still an object of derision. And herein lies the root of the gender conflict. Women find it easy to pursue their masculinity; men find it disagreeable to even acknowledge, let alone pursue their femininity.  A few people have been able to find that balance and I am happy that Linda lives here, in me? Yesoooooo!
So to those of you in your personal pursuit for happiness whatever it is, climb every rainbow and follow every star till you find your dream.
