Several years ago I was in the Thomson Building in Toronto. I went down the hall to the small kitchen to get myself a cup of coffee. Ken Thomson was there, making himself some instant soup. At the time, he was the ninth-richest man in the world, worth approximately $19.6 billion. Enough, certainly, to afford a nice lunch. I looked at the soup he was stirring. “It suits me just fine,” he said, smiling.Thomson understood value. Neighbors reported seeing him leave his local grocery store with j [..] > read more

Published on 2012-05-20 16:33:00
Despite being a billionaire, Mark chose to keep a private affair exactly how it should be - private. Unlike Kardashian, there wasn't a press conference for every petty detail nor was there any hoopla about the wedding band like brangelina duo.

Being a big-footed girl in a world where most people assume the average woman's shoe size is still a 7 ½, when it's actually a 9, isn't easy. Anything above that new average size is a struggle: some places carry 10s, most don't carry 11s, and heaven forefend if you're a 12 or 13!
