The Nets And Other Awesome Toys Of Billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov
Business Insider
This gloss on Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov is mostly just a set of pictures that communicate the insight that one of the advantages of being rich is owning lots of stuff.
Americans got to know him last year, purchased an 80% stake in the New Jersey Nets, as well as 45% of their yet-to-be-built home in Brooklyn.
Of course the Nets, whom he bought for a reported $200 million, are his best toy of all.
NoLandGrab: With a 24-58 record, the Nets seem less than awesome.
