what are any of you talking about?

ouf...now i must get to sleep. I didn't realize how late it was.

The other thing you have to realize is that as of now I only really invest in companies my board tells me are sound. I don't have the time or energy to look into all of them myself...but If you give me the names and what not I wil have my guys look into it.

Ze'ev do they have some websites you could link me too?

I love giveing money away to artistic funds. I gave the MET in NYC sizeable amounts of cash last year. I've also given a lot in support of the OSM (Montreal Symphopny Orchestra) and I partially fund an art program in Toronto that teaches kids about animation and cartooning.

I dont do much business in Montreal...I tend to keep all my business in Toronto and New York. While I've thought of doing business here I kind of like being removed from my work. Whenever I am in a city where I do big business its hard to get away from the office.

I LOVE art. It is a major passion of mine. My brother is an artist so I know how difficult it is to get by.

you show me a good proposal for a grant of sorts and I will consider it :)

hookers is not a grant worthy cause.

i do buy the good scotch...but im not down with the hookers...meangingless sex isnt any fun

I didnt become rich by blowing it on hookers and booze

what do you mean about the wife question...

and Ze'ev the cookie dough business was odd i agree. I was fortunate to have a father who at a young young age encouraged me to go into business for myself, and a brother who was very loving and supportive and a mother who knew how to make awesome cookies...

You'd be surprised...when you tell kids they can make $50 a week they will do almost anything you tell them to.

always feel the need to do more in life

I aint lying...

alright Ze'ev I will give you a more detailed analysis.

Started with $2000 Investment from my father to start the cookie dough business. Ran that for 2 years, learned the basics of business and with the help of my older brother and parents made quite a chunk of money. Sold the business to a neighbourhood bakery in Manhattan. They gave me a sweet little nest egg to sit on. did no real business between 10-12.

At 12 I invested a chunk of that money in a project my brother's friend was taking on. It was called Interlog and was an Internet Service Provider. Soon became one of the biggest in Canada and at 15 I had my first Mil when my friend sold the company(my friend who was 21 was worth close to 50 mil at that point).

With that money and the help of many advisers I invested heavily in various tech stocks. Luckily they were all booming. Got out a year or so before the bubble burst, at this point i had close to 30 grand. During that time i was also investing in real estate in toronto (all my properties have at least doubled since then). Also during this time I started my second company. It started as a Rave company, but after my first two events in toronto that lost money I expaned it (with the help of a knowledgeable but very poor partner) into a full out event consultation company and organization firm. We have handeled some massive events in the United States and Canada including the APA conferances and private parties for billion dollar companies in the states (got manyof these contracts through contacts and family friends, then through word of mouth).

I also went into the franchise business. I own a few fast food joints in NYC.

All of these business as i mentioned before are now run by a bunch of 50 year old men who i take care of very well. Once I am done with all my schooling I will be taking over.

Someone asked why they didnt just do the biz themselves? that answer is simple. None of them had much capital until i hired them. Some of them have started their own enterprizes but their loyalty to me is incredable.

This of coarse is a very simplified overview. And I have left some stuff out. But the jist of it, I started with one small business that went very well. Invested that money and turned it into a lot more. Invested again and again and again. Opened another very successful enterprise, and then hired a bunch of goons to continue building my wealth.

I didn't have anywhere close to a mil at 8. I made my first million at age 15. Then I was able to within years multpliy that almost 30 fold. I gave a huge portion of it to my dad on my 20th bday.

Once you have a lot of money it isnt too hard to make a lot more. Right now I am in school and focus 97% of my time on that. I have a team of people who are all running my businesses now and leaving only the most major decisions to me. I want to continue my education and having fun as a long as I can. Once I am done with school I will take over my businesses myself. Until then I will continue to pay these people large sums to keep me rich.

I know its not very believable. I sometimes don't believe it myself. But its true. I got very luckey and also worked very hard for years. People who know me well can vouch for this. As soon as my school semester ends I am off to NYC (where the majority of my shit is located) and will spend my summer wheeling and dealing.

hahaha...the monkey suit was going to be a big project for me...i had paid some guys a couple grand to build a ginat robotic suit. They made a suit, we did a test run on the manaquin the built it on and the thing caught fire....hahaha

I started believe it or not when I was 8. I manufacutred cookie dough and sold it door to door in NYC and Toronto(way before anyone else came out with prepared cookie dough). Made a small fortune on that and had every kid in my neighbourhood working for me.

Thourghout my teenage years I started several VERY succesful businesses of various sorts.

When I turned 18 I got into stocks. That is where the majority of my fortune was made. And since then I have bought and sold businesses and traded real estate etc.

Ive been very fortunate to find money wherever it exists. My family did not have a lot of money gorwing up. My dad had a decent job but always encouraged me to be my own man and make my own money. He gave me my first investment, spending 2grand on kitchen untensils and shit to mass produce the cookie dough. That 2 grand investment was returned to him on my 20th birthday in the form of a check for 16mil. Needless to say, he dosen't really work anymore.

I try to do good with what I have. I only spend what I need, save a bunch, and give A LOT of money to charity. I do my part.

Succeeded nadine??? Haha...success and Al should be synonomous at this point. There are very few ventures i havent succeeded in...and if you want to get into the numbers of my success we are talking in the hundreds of millions...and I am not even 25.

I am success

hahaha...sweet...im making the world a toilet!

actually Moi...I am in the market for exotic fish.

AHAHAHA!

man I hate Bush. He may have cut taxes for my fucking bracket but I'd happily give up a couple hundred grand to support my fellow man. And I hold him personally responsible for the 500+ military service men and woman who have lost their lives in Iraq. Comming from a military family and having sevred myself (doing another tour in a year, yikes) I find that unacceptable.

hahaha...weird...i actually do business with the law firm that is sueing her company now. So in a sense, she will pay my way through law school

yeah Carlos you did some awesome work for me...you know your my man when it comes to that shit. Mexican labour is cheap too ;)

I already volunteer 1 day a week to big brothers

its one of my favorite days of the week.

and have it be under my name??

don't let a few bad apples spoil the batch

don't have the talent man

seems like a lot of you guys make music...thats great...I wish I could do that

When my friend used it he discussed it with his sig. other. They agreed it was best. Worked well for them. Until she turned out to be a devious money grubbing ho.

AHAHAHA...nope never invested...

But I have a "freind" that used the service. It is a great way for couples who are having issues to find outs. And when lonley folk want to find someone in the same situation as them it makes things easier

actually its a great service.

don't get me wrong...its a lot of money and the costs of running such an enterprise are imense too. BUT sometimes you have to spend to make. I've had businesses that have lost millions but I have had more that have made millions.

Gotta take risks in life.

1 mill aint no thang

That's why I am going to build a self sustaining underground shelter...Be able to live for a 1000 years without having to leave.

I think as we develop our technologies we will invent solutions for dealing with all these environmental concerns.

bah...rain forests can be replaced

I was considering buying a McDs franchise...they are solid money investments

No I am not talking about the United States and Iraq...


What do you folks do for a living?? It was brought to my attention that you aren't all in the nice jobs I thought you guys were.


I personally make my $$$ with the few business I own and then reinvest the profits in stocks and real estate.

Now I am well on my way to obtaining my law degree...need something new in life.

So, what do you do?

I have money

Actually, the law as it was created in Canada/Quebec has nothing to do with the idea that people are "good." Criminal law which is universal throughout Canada was inherited from the same source as law in the United States - English Common Law. It is just as easy if not more so to suspend individuals rights in Canada then it is in the states.

The idea of law was not to protect or control people, but more so to protect people's property, which if you studied any of the major philosophers who were instrumental in influencing the creation of western democracy, is the most important aspect of a civilised society.

The legal systems in Canada and the United States are very very similar when in comes to aspects of public law.

Where are you studying law Munki?

jeff you know why your mom said no

you just lost your grant
