@son of spam: LOL, I'll admit that I am not the only one here that thinks it!
True story, if it wasn't for a pre-booked vacation this year I would have had the chance to meet her and her husband (they were in NY). That would have been interesting...
@DTurkin: I can't imagine that Bruni would want more of anything than she already has. She grew up in a huge estate in Italy, was a well known model and singer, and now first lady of france. She has won the lottery when it comes to good luck in life. A vanity fair article I read painted them both as extremely competitive and fierce in the pursuit of love... and maybe they just had a lot in common.
@mishmisha: She was a major model for quite some time, but never as big in the US as in Europe. And she's a terrific singer/songwriter. And her family is fascinating; rich, eccentric, artistic, aristocratic.
Bruni may or may not be a famewhore, but she didn't just fall off a turnip truck and marry Sarkozy. The last time she was in Vanity Fair was back when she was banging Mick Jagger.
Since he went to Wharton, I am betting he has heard of the concept of "return on investment." However, there is no way in hell he is getting laid enough to justify spending $60,000 for a night out. He may have cash, but this is amateur hour. #jholow
Spending your evenings in A-list nightclubs doling out expensive beverages to people who couldn't care less about you ("A Jho Low comes around once in a lifetime") is pretty sad. Christ, join a book group or something. #jholow
Yes, because arms dealers benefit from living such flashy lives. My guess is that he's just new money, like all those Russians who've been taking over London in recent years. #jholow
@raincoaster: It could come from anywhere. My best guess is that he's the playboy son of some filthy rich Malaysian financier, construction magnate, or some such. The economy has been booming in that region (setting aside the current economic crisis, of course), so it's not terribly out of hand to imagine that the money has legitimate sources. #jholow
Please. The fat fuck looks, acts, and spends like a spoiled rich kid. I guarantee his father is the Malaysian Oil Minister or something like that. That also explains titles like "advisor" or "board member" when you can't find a place of business for him. #jholow
He's a North Korean intelligence agent. They're giving him the "Eli Cohen" / "Robert Maxwell" / "Vivi Nevo" treatment where they give him a lot of money and then he gets close to big shots because everyone wants a piece of him. Except... who would want a piece of this guy?
Here he is being really really funny at Wharton, 9 years ago, (or a few weeks old if it's a planted story; if it's the same Wharton Jho Low).
@Uncle_Billy_Slumming: That story is dated from 2000 and he's shown as being undergrad class of '04--so he was writing discussions of Enron's expected share price growth by November of his freshman year of college?! I call bullshit. #jholow

@iplaudius: I've never commented about an other's looks but homeboy might want to hit the tread mill after a night of partying the next morning. At least for 30 mins.
I'm sure Gatorade can make a Cristal flavored sports drink. #jholow
@Mo MoDo: Probably. I just thought that the whole nightlife 'scene' was just another way of being seen, in which case one would want to look their best?
I don't know. Man boobs just cloud my judgment. #jholow
Dr. Phil's discipline action against him is still on his license in Texas. You can look it up. It does not go into salacious detail but he did something that was not cool. Therefore I hate the stupid bald headed bastard and his little drawl too.
Looks like Jon's turned that money into cocaine and chicken wings. When Kate goes to the safe again the only thing left is going to be a roll of quarters and an empty bag of Fritos.

It didn't hurt Adnan Khashoggi until his dictator friends lost power and the Saudi's had some turnover in the royal family. #jholow
