> Sorry you still remain ignorant. The haunts of the old rich and famous are beyond your knowledge, They don’t have anything in common with the likes of you. They love it when people like you think you have a clue. Fact is you are not ever going to be near theuir haunts, their investment companies or their neighborhoods. that is unless you are contracted to clean their pools.
