i CANDY ?!


I've commented on the Candy brothers before on my blog. They are a couple of guys who have been developing high profile properties in the UK, Los Angeles and elsewhere in the recent past and have jetted to the top select few in the property world - reputedly being worth hundreds of millions seemingly out of nowhere.

So much mystique surrounds their funding that they have recently opened their accounts to the The Sunday Times - obviously in an attempt to get into the higher eschelons of the Times Top 200 or whatever list... They're not known for their modesty!

The results apparently are (and I quote today's press release)..

Nick Candy and his brother Christian have taken the unusual step of showing The Sunday Times details of how they control their funds through a bank account in Guernsey where £244m is invested. They also gave details of their Monaco penthouse, which they claim could be worth £150m, and their two yachts, Candyscape and Candyscape II, which together are valued at £50m.

The question does remain of where their initial funding for the projects came from? hmmm...

All that is now needed is a fitting pic from one of my favourite websites when I want to dream about a different life (www.edmistoncompany.com)...



Yours for around 30 million euros and moored in Monaco as we speak. What you waiting for?

dream on Polko...
