No, below the hard deck doesn’t count Maverick. You don’t get to wander around claiming to be the richest woman because you humped a billionaire.
It it’nt ‘bout J.K.
Well at least she hasn’t kicked any little tykes in wheel chairs over the side that we know of. ;-)
HUH? Did you read the article?
Meaning that jk would have surely raised a ruckus if she had.
She knew how to preserve, use and invest her personal assets!
I noticed the boat
Actually, I have seen bigger yachts. Hers is “only” 97 meters in length. I saw a 100 meter yacht with a helicopter on board. I like a nice practical woman like Kristy who lives within her means.
I'm sending him this article. At 250K pounds a throw, just to gas it up, a new bass boat will look positively thrifty.
Does she like slightly older guys?
It’s called ‘money to burn!’
I guess using it is better than sticking it in a huge vault like Scrooge McDuck.
There was a boat?
No of course not. Why break tradition?
Guilty or not guilty?
It also had a guy in a kilt, bagpiping people aboard for a party.
Up in Bar Harbor, iirc.
