Here is the best sign of the times :). This poor guy wants his deposit money back.
“Credit-crunched Russian billionaire asks for the £39million deposit he put down on world’s most expensive house.
A Russian billionaire is desperately trying to claw back his £39million deposit after a deal to buy the most expensive house in the world fell through.
Mikhail Prokhmorov – who is Russia’s richest an and is worth £9.8billion – offered £500million to buy Villa Leopolda on the French Riviera last August.
But since then the 48-year-old metal tycoon has lost billions thanks to the international financial crisis.”
