…and thank Dog that Clive’s throbbing desire can be cured by butterflies. Mind you, it’s probably the one that’s responsible for all those bloody storms, so we’d better keep at least one eye on it – if we can see past the considerable bulk of Clive and the Pilbara Poet.
Vested interests misrepresent imported tissues?
But isn’t compound interest in imported tissues vested too?
I better ask Susanne Blake for clarification about these imported tissues because we all know that Philippine body parts make great vests.
At least that what he said I think.
I would love to see a First Dog timeline of the growth of Clive’s fortune. Showing the significant events, risks and operational decisions that lead to his wealth.
Love them or hate them the other “famous” billionaires like Frank, Gerry, James/Kerry, Rupert and even the late Dick P all built and ran the operations of substantial trading businesses over couple of generations along the way often putting their wealth sweat and reputations on the line.
Maybe Clive et al are the same…I suspect not maybe more like 1. score a mining lease, 2. flog it to a Chinese investor 3 PROFIT
I suspect this is the thought that Swannie is trying to tap into that these faceless Billionairs have become richer in a few years than our esteemed welathy families have in generations of running diverse businesses.
