How would I know what goes on in the luxury real estate world? Furthermore, how would Y O U know? :unsure:

Learning from their father and meeting the people they did because of him certainly helped. But these brothers did some major deals that went beyond simply having the background they did. (Plenty of developers kids go into the business and don’t have near the same level of success.)

I think of my “friend” Joe Francis of Girls Gone Wild fame/infany. The traits that make some people extremely successful are also what causes their downfall.

I looked up Girls Gone Wild and there's a doc on Peacock that I'll try to watch. For research purposes, of course, because it all sounds pretty skeezy.

You don't speak for me. I don't have any problem with news articles containing accusations. I have a problem with dishonest, cowardly posters who lie through innuendo and who rely on falling back on "I never said ..."

Since we both know I never said what you claimed I said, you lose. Admit you made a mistake. I'll forgive you.

I met Joe in college. He and my best friend were partners in their entrepreneur class. For a period of time Girls Gone Wild was everywhere. And you had celebrities like Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston wearing GGW clothing. Then of course the darker side of what was going on behind the scenes came out and that's when things started to go downhill.

Joe had issues from his childhood and while he made a lot of money he thought he was untouchable. Fast forward to today and I don't think he can even come back into the country.

But for a period of time GGW was a dominant force in our culture.

Did he flee or just change residences?

Both. He fled to Mexico and at first set up a GGW Mexico home (the Kardashians among others would vacation there). But (as you'll see if you watch the video) because of charges against him in the U.S. he'll basically be arrested if he comes back to America.

Oh yeah, at his peak he was hanging out with Paris Hilton, the Khardasians and a bunch of other celebrities. There was a video of him making Paris flash.

(A long time ago) Joe was neighbors with Elon Musk and got one of the first Tesla’s. (This was at Joe’s peak.)

What I remember too was when we went to his apartment in like '99 or so he had a picture with (then) President Clinton (just the two of them). I remember he was so proud of that because according to him "the girls loved it".

Republican or Democrat it's pretty cool having a picture with the President so I remember being impressed by that.
