Read this before buying your Wack Girlfriend Jewelry

A reef of gold buried beneath this vast, parched grassland arcs across some of the world’s poorest countries. Where the ore is rich, industrial mines carve it out. Where it’s not, the poor sift the earth.

These hardscrabble miners include many thousands of children. They work long hours at often dangerous jobs in hundreds of primitive mines scattered through the West African bush. Some are as young as 4 years old.

The spike in gold prices over the past seven years has lured increasing numbers of poor people, including child recruits, to bush mines. The United Nations labor agency estimates there are now 100,000 to 250,000 child gold miners in West Africa alone.

If you wear a gold ring on your finger, write with a gold-tipped fountain pen or have gold in your investment portfolio, chances are good your life is connected to these children.

This is why I like to heist Jewelers then give back to the kids. For The People.

Roissy on Married Guys (The Bachelor Party)

Roissy on Married Guys (The Bachelor Party)

“Once in a while, one of the married guys in our crew would join the fray and throw down with his rusty wingman skills. Let me tell you, there is no worse wingman in the world than a married guy. They mosey in, totally at ease because, you see, they’re spoken for and don’t feel any pressure to impress girls anymore, and completely monopolize the conversation with boring Adventures from Married Life. They are like Venom’s black suit, leeching into every conversational crevice and taking hold, bonding with their hostage over recipe-swapping stories, until all sex appeal is drained out of everyone in a ten block radius. And the best part is they think they are helping their buddies get laid!”

Check it: The Bachelor Party

Pretty damn true.

South American Jewel Thieves Targeting Smaller Cities

South American Jewel Thieves Targeting Smaller Cities

Allegedly, a violent, well-organized ring of South American jewelry thieves is expanding its operations away from large metropolitan areas such as New York, Miami, Houston and Chicago and hitting targets in smaller cities in the South.

In one incident in Little Rock, diamond merchant Faramarz Hakimian, 48, of New York had just pulled into the parking lot of an upscale strip mall July 29 when two masked men jumped out of a black Chevrolet behind him, smashed his car windows, pulled a gun and told him to lie down on the seat. The assailants took his keys and stole a satchel with half a million dollars’ worth of jewelry from the car’s back seat, all in broad daylight in front of witnesses at the jewelry shop that Hakimian had come to visit.

Between April 22 and May 15 in Houston, at least $3.5 million worth of jewelry was stolen in six robberies, which the FBI considers related and linked to the South American ring. On May 14, a jewelry merchant was robbed at a gas station. Despite massive media and law enforcement attention, the next day another salesman was pistol-whipped and robbed in a Waffle House where he had stopped for lunch.

Villa Leopolda: The most expensive home ever sold

Villa Leopolda: The most expensive home ever sold

A mysterious Russian billionaire has trumped his big-spending rivals and broken a world record by splashing out €500 million (£392 million, or $750 Million) on one of the dopest villas on the French Riviera.

The price of the Villa Leopolda, a Belle Époque mansion on the heights of Villefrance, has amazed estate agents but fuelled local worries that the invasion of Russian money on the Côte d’Azur is getting out of hand.

Since the early 1990s, Russian oligarchs, drawn by memories of the Riviera-mad old Russian aristocracy, have been piling into seaside properties at Cap Ferrat, Cap d’Antibes, Saint-Tropez and the other great playgrounds.

The previous record for a house was said to be the £57 million that Lakshmi Mittal, the steel tycoon, paid for a property in Kensington Palace Gardens in 2004.

The price for the Leopolda, which once belonged to the late Gianni Agnelli, the Fiat tycoon, has dwarfed the €20 million paid six years ago by Roman Abramovich, the Chelsea Football Club owner, for the semi-derelict Château de la Croë.

The house was owned previously by Lily Safra, the widow of Edmond Safra, a Lebanese banker who was killed by an arsonist’s fire in Switzerland in 2003. I remember this whole fire thing, it was mad fishy.

When the crib was Gianni Agnelli it was the setting of many a “Jet-Set” gig. Back in the days of the true International Playboys.

The true cost of this crib is going to keep it stocked with champagne.

Time for a trip to Côte d’Azur…
