One would think that a billionaire may have read a newspaper and noticed there are people who could use a few bucks to get vaccinations for their kids. Or maybe that's just me.
That's sort of crazy sick
oh boy
As rich as this guy is, you would think he could afford a more attractive design... seriously, that is one really fugly building!
Just goes to show you, money can't buy good taste, nosir.
Hmm, I think this is the fellow who's father amassed a huge fortune in ruthless (but clever, certainly) ways by getting around the system in India. The recent film "Guru," is based on his father's life & climb up the ladder of success. You see, in India, it's not at all uncommon to find praise bestowed upon the highly ambitious, smart village boy who is able to get out of such conditions & make his fortune ... even if it involves manipulating the system, so-to-speak. It is not a work ideology that I am comfortable with ... yet, it's not the fault of the architectural firm he's employed to do his over-the-top new home.
