I thought Bill Gates announced before his children were born that he wouldn’t give them a cent?
BTW, I don't understand why they are calling this woman America's youngest female billionaire. They estimate the company to be worth $1 billion (but it's just an estimate), and the company just owns half the stores, and she doesn't have full control...Maybe it was just a slow news day.
I think you are half right. Per Wikepedia - She gained control of 50% of the company in 2012 when she turned 30, and will gain full control when she turns 35.[22] She owns the company but does not have full control yet.
animal style..............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Gates never said he wouldn’t give his kids a cent. He plans to give away the vast majority of his fortune, but if he gives away 99% and leaves his kids to split the remaining 1%, that’s still a couple hundred million apiece. Gates hasn’t gone into specifics publicly, but a common estimate is about $10M each.
Still kind of passive aggressive to discuss personal plans with the public before he could even with his children. I’m not saying he should give them money, just the way he has handled this is bizarre and unhealthy.
Thrice married by age 35? Wow.
I know the hook-up / premarital sex / multiple, serial relationships culture prevalent in the West today has essentially wiped out any meaning marriage or monogamy could have had, but three marriages at such a young age must have taken a heavy psychological toll.
I’ve seen grown, confident adults wither away after their first divorce.
I thought Paris Hilton was the in-&-out heiress.
She’s only 30. 35 is when she gets the rest of the company.
"....????...hmmmm...how do you do my little burger queen, perhaps we can share a warm bun somewhere sometime"
While being successful businessmen, seems the family is pretty wild on the whole.
Not only does she race but it appears she wins as well.
Can anybody read what class she races in on the trophy?
Torres made her NHRA Division 7 Top Sportsman debut in 2012, going 7.20 in her debut and lowering that to a 7.14 in going three rounds at the NHRA Sonoma Nationals.
Thanks!
The inscription on the trophy looks to me like:
2013
Super Gas Champion
Firebird International Raceway
Chandler AZ
I meant 2012. not 2013.
Yep, she clawed her way to the top.
It must be nice to be born into a great fortune and never have to do anything but breathe.
