How do you define success?

Success to me is the constant pursuit of worthy goalsand expansion during difficult times. When times aregood, it’s easy to make bold plans. True success ismeasured when times are tough and you performwell anyway. For me, my greatest victories have oc-curred while my back was against the wall with timerunning out. I have found I do my best work under

pressure. Difficult times are defining times. You eitherfold or move ahead.

How did your journey to success begin?

As a child I had a fascination with money, especiallyshiny gold and silver coins. I wanted more and moreof shinnies because I realized early that money wasthe means by which you could accomplish almost

10

anything in the world. You could eliminate suffering,create peace, start wars, end wars, help people, andbuy places and things. I never wanted to be limitedby my choices or by my environment. I was deter-mined to find solutions to my own problems and un-derstood the role that money played in the process.What did I do? I went to work with my father in hopesthat I could someday be the boss and I did manage

to pull together a bunch of silver coinage from goingto the job site with my dad, chores around the houseand odd jobs that I got from the neighbors. By thetime I turned 15, I had started a small business andbegan working for myself, which I liked.

At age 18 my roommate in college and I wanted tofigure out how we could make money while we slept.

11

I thought I would be moving in the right direction if Icould do that and it would lead to my ultimate goal -financial independence. So here we were runningaround town with a business plan that we had pains-takingly put together and revised and revised and re-vised over the course of months. Looking back nowit’s kind of funny because we thought the emphasiswas in the plan. And I thought “the plan” was the

most important variable in the “raising a smallamount of seed capital” formula which at the timewas only $250,000.

Here we are taking meetings with friends, family, ba-sically anyone who would lend an open ear neveractually understanding how any of the meetings went.I remember believing that when someone said “I

12

want to think about it” that it was a good sign insteadof a polite blow off. After attending over 100 meetingsand hearing the word “no” a lot more than the wordyes, we had our money. The money that we had rai-sed went into the world’s first live online reality show.This was back when dial up modems were the normand most people preferred to chat over telephonelines instead of shooting off a quick email. I realized

the importance of getting one’s message out on a na-tional and global level. I also understood that the In-ternet was going to change not only how we didbusiness but also how we lived in a revolutionary wayand I wanted to be a part of the revolution, a big partof it. So after a year my partner and I went our sepa-rate ways. His vision for the company was drasticallydifferent from mine and I wanted to change not only

13

the business I was in but I also wanted to take a stepback and gain a better understanding of where Ithought things were going economically.

In 1999 the tech and Internet sectors had not fullyimploded. Money was being made by brokers whobelieved we were in a new era and that all of the oldrules were out and money could be made hand overfist indefinitely. I had friends doing well in real estate.It was a good time for most in this country. Too good,I thought. I thought it unlikely that after a boom pe-riod there wouldn't be a bust. So I decided to move inthe direction of Gold. Gold at that time had under-performed everything, and when I say everything Imean EVERYTHING for the prior 20 years.I had always grown accustomed to takingthe unpopular route so when I thoughtabout getting into the gold market it just feltright. Shortly thereafter, I applied at themost highly endorsed gold brokerage in thecountry. I thought if I learned how to sellgold bars and gold coins to investors on anational scale now I would be well positio-ned when real estate and the stock marketcollapsed. So that’s what I did. I was theyoungest broker when I started by over adecade. This was good and bad. It wasgood because I didn't have any of thewrong experience and it was bad because Ididn't have any of the right experience eit-her. After learning everything about how toa reputable gold business is managed, overfour very challenging years, the goal settingbug bit me again, and I formed what is nowAurum Advisors. We are just beginning ourseventh year. I like to think that I learnedthe right lessons from my first gold experi-ence, as I’ve been able to grow my compa-ny’s revenue by over 7,000% by treatingpeople right.

You have been interviewed on CNBC, na-

tional radio programs, and the Internatio-

nal Business Times. Additionally, you have

been quoted on Forbes.com, Market

Watch, Reuters, and AOL Money and Fi-

nance – explain the media’s interest in you.

I believe the media has stayed interested in what I sayand do because every prediction I made publicly overthe last decade has turned out to be completely ac-curate while almost every major analyst, financier,banker, and government official got everythingwrong. Business media exists to find the people whoknow how to help people money by making the rightcalls without making the wrong calls and I delivered.The goods time after time. I predicted oil to rise sub-

stantially in 1999 and it’s up over 500% since then. Irecommended investors buy gold at $265 an ouncein 2000 $11 above its 22 year low. Gold is up over300% since then. I began recommending investorsget out of the US dollar in 2002 before the dollardropped over 30%. I suggested exiting real estateabout 6 months before housing prices began theirdescent. I recommended investors buy silver at $4 anounce and silver is now up over 400% since then.

Business media has an interest in me because I havebeen one of the only voices in this country able to tellpeople what to expect ahead of time. I have beenable to help people prevent loss and make money du-

ring the most challenging decade since the great de-pression. I know that not a lot of people who startfrom scratch end up where I am currently. I currentlyrun a successful gold brokerage that provides itsclients with an asset that has true value, not just therepresentation of value and that is reflective of my lifeon a broader scale. Many people today try to appearas if they have everything under control. I look to helpothers get things under control financially now and

14

on an ongoing basis. The media loves real stories.You see, if you can provide something to someone ata reasonable price that does what it says it is suppo-sed to do then the rest will take care of itself. I havelearned that it is easier and better to give people whatthey want even if it goes against what I believe is bestfor that person. Luckily, with gold, there is consistency.Worldwide investors believe having some of theirmoney in gold will provide them with security and ad-ditional Growth and peace of mind because if youaren't making the world better then you are allowingit to get worse. Who wants to be part of the problem?If anything, I believe it is important to find solutionsto the threats facing the world today.

And the threats are plentiful. There is no shortage oftrue threats. It seems as if the fabric of society is beingtorn apart piece by piece in a methodical systematicway. Some would disagree but others would agree be-cause the quality of their life has continued to disin-tegrate and America has always represented freedomand opportunity. The US has a “good hearted in ge-neral” approach whether the challenge relates tobusiness, social or political issues. America has always

set the stage for the rest of the world since its foun-ding as an independent nation. Not what are we ex-periencing? We are experiencing a world that isbecoming more familiar with struggle and sacrificenot on its own accord in attempts to get ahead butfrom a place of having to, because the system hasbroken down. Sacrifice is now a requirement of sur-vival and survival alone has become the focus of thepresent moment.

Why are you so private?

My attention has been and will continue to be onwhat matters most to me and that is my companyAurum Advisors. I have a responsibility to our clients.

They depend on my advice. They dependon my recommendations which come fromobservations that I make on a continuousand ongoing basis. I have made the choiceand commitment to constantly observewhat happens in the financial media, whichI feel it gives me an edge. I do think famecan be used as a tool and there are benefitsthat come along with being in the spotlight.I personally have just always been introver-ted.

Tell us about some of your greatest

influences.

I have had many influences in my life, firstand foremost my parents. They taught meto value hard work, how to value a job donewell, and how important it is to get back onthe horse if it bucks you off . My father al-ways emphasized how important it wasafter getting knocked down to just get upand keep going. Getting up was always re-quired while I was growing up. My fatherwasn’t the kind to say, “Oh, you are un-happy? Don't worry about it”. He’d say“Get back into it and get it done.” Wea-kness and passivity were always frownedupon. Punishment or should I say the threatof punishment were usually enough to keepus in line, a line that I challenged from timeto time but I did stay more or less in line.Both my parents showed me the value ofkeeping commitments. When you say to so-

meone “I promise” you always keep your promise. Inmy family we said, “It’s done” because that was thesame thing for us. This focus on keeping my word hasenabled me to build a solid reputation with investors,and I thank my father for that. My father emphasizedthat in an uncertain world that as long as you cancount on the truth of your own word, you can keepmoving forward towards achieving your goals.

15

This approach allowed me to fight through challen-ges I wasn’t expecting and allowed me to appreciatethe good things. I feel fortunate when I receive a giftor a break. The easy times are pleasant for me be-cause I never expect them. The tough times I alwaysexpect and I am constantly prepared for. Work ethictriumphs everything else. Outworking the other guy ismore important than anything else because outwor-king someone is a matter of will and will is a qualityyou can build through effort. To this day I am usuallythe first one in and the last one to leave my office.For years I had a rollaway bed in my office and still tothis day I keep a pair of pajamas in my desk drawer.The 19th century natural philosophers, Thorough andEmerson, were influences on me as well. Here inAmerica many people blur the line between “needs”and “wants”. For many years I liked spending moneyonly on what I needed. I enjoyed eliminating allwants. I found it fascinating to sit down at the end ofeach month and focus on what I spent for that periodand calculate the requirement needed to satisfy obli-gations. The money left over would then be looked atand I enjoyed seeing how small of a percentage I nee-ded from sales to satisfy my survival. The excess cashwould then be reinvested back into my company orgiven away as a charitable contribution.

Were you ever influenced by other entrepreneurs?

Any small business owner, CEO, or president of anycorporation that I could talk to growing up or anyonewho realized his or her dreams in any real way werepeople I would take the time to interact with. I wantedto be around people that lived their dreams and livedthe lives that others wished they had so that I one daycould do the same. And now I am. I can say withgreat certainty that I currently wouldn't change any-thing about my life, not a single thing. So whenpeople ask “what would you like to do differently inyour life?” the answer is always the same. I would liketo do more of what I am already doing. And what isthat?

First, I would like to continue helping the peoplearound me better their lives. That gives me more sa-tisfaction than anything in the world. I want to be sur-rounded by people that are dedicated to living livesthat are great whatever that means to them.

Second, I am committed to helping people I don'tknow in ways that are unexpected to them. It is al-ways nice when we “catch a break” I like being theguy that causes that “break” for others without thatperson realizing it. When someone I don't know hasan experience and they walk away going “wow - didI luck out!” I want them to be unaware that it was methat created that opportunity or the set of circums-

tances that gave them that opportunity. Third, my fa-mily. My family is important and luckily my family isself sustaining so whenever I can draw from my ex-perience to provide my family with advice, encoura-gement, or understanding I feel like I am moving inthe right direction. Aside from that I believe successis something that is developed on an ongoing basiswe are constantly getting better or worse we are neverstaying the same so the important question becomesHow is your continued success effecting the peopleyou care about. Place in the world enhancing the ex-perience of others?

Does The Attention Get To You?

The attention never really gets to me because mostof the attention is focused on my company and ongold and fortunately almost 100% of the attention hasbeen positive over the last 10 years. Aurum Advisorsalso takes a responsible approach with our clients.The majority of our clients understand that a smallamount of gold goes a long way. Most of our clientshave the majority of their portfolio invested in otherareas and they just use gold as an insurance policy.They want to make sure they have something to fallback on so our ability to provide security is looked atfavorably.

What is your Perspective on Life?

I know how to be happy with everything I have, goodand bad, while I pursue everything that I want. Thiskeeps me in a continuous state of appreciation and itforces me to take an active role in designing thethings that contribute to my happiness.

What Drives You?

I am driven by a desire to make a difference in theworld. When I die I want to know that I did my bestand whatever I could to help the people around mewith their lives in any way I could. I think it is so im-portant to make a commitment early on to others. Itdoesn't have to be a big commitment but I do think itis important to be committed to others in a very fun-damental way. This doesn't mean I will always getthings right. It doesn't mean I will always make a con-tribution in the way other would like to see but it doesmean I have the desire and I am working towards en-hancing the lives of others. And I think if everyone didjust that on any level we would be much better off, asa world.

What is your favorite city in the world?

My favorite city is my hometown Chicago. There area lot of great cities in the world and I like citieseverywhere for different reasons. I guess Chicago tome has a special place in my heart because my entirefamily is still back there. My mom has 11 brothers

16

17

and sisters and when you look at the entire family thehead count is in the hundreds, so holidays are alwaysa blast, and everyone knows how to have a goodtime. I also like parts of South America. Being fromChicago I can certainly appreciate tropical weather.Miami comes to mind. I liked Sydney when I wasthere a few years ago on business. I was fascinatedwith Shanghai. I was there meeting with officials fromthe Shanghai Gold Exchange some years back. It wasinteresting to see how massive that city was, I believeyou can fit five New York cites in to one Shanghai.

What is the importance of money in your life?

Money is very important but then again so is every-thing else in my life. It is all important. Money, fa-mily, faith, friends, travel…it’s all very important tome. I don’t take any of it for granted. I appreciate itall. I really appreciate all of it. Balance or should I saythe lack of balance around money should never beneglected. Living below ones means, doing the rightthings with money, giving some away – there is avalue in all of it.

What is the secret of your success?

Work every day to make your customers successful.It takes ten thousand hours to be skilled at an area.

18

Success, at least for me, was very difficult to earn. Iwas willing to sacrifice everything - relationships, va-cations, weekends, health – I knew early on whatI wanted my life to look like and I was willing to sa-crifice everything in order to create the life I wanted.Continuous self education was also very important.Luck plays a role. Being in the right place at thewrong time. A tremendous work ethic. Being well ca-pitalized. Building the right team. Having the rightskill set. Having a competitive advantage. These area few of the ingredients. Ultimately, if you want tosucceed you have to take a big risk. The greater therisk the greater the potential reward. Now that’s the

first part. The second part is the more difficult part.The second part is staying successful once you aresuccessful.

How are you able to achieve success in a short period?

I was never able to achieve success in a short periodof time. I got great at one thing – helping investorsmake the right moves related to gold. I got a few ofthe big things right and I did a lot of the little thingsright everyday and over time it all added up. I neverbought into a get rich quick scheme. In fact, I havenever bought a lottery ticket or played a slot machinein Vegas.

RollS-RoyceG H O S T

By TotalPrestige Staff

Autumn 2006, Paris motor show: Rolls-Royce Motor cars announced that work had begun on a

new model series. The new car would be in production and on sale by the turn of the decade.

The only other facts confirmed at that stage were that it would be smaller than the Phantom sa-

loon and priced somewhere between €200,000 and €300,000 before tax. Speculation about its

style and specification began almost immediately...

21

Little was seen of the new car, codenamed RR4, until

the spring of 2008, when Rolls-Royce released the

first official sketches. The styling was instantly recog-

nisable as a Rolls-Royce, although less traditional

than previous models. At the time Chief Designer,

Ian Cameron, said, “The RR4 has a more informal

presence than the Phantom models with a greater

emphasis on driving. In design terms this is expres-

sed through its slightly smaller dimensions, yet with

powerful, purposeful proportions. It is a true and un-

compromising Rolls-Royce in every sense.”

As sightings of secret development models on the

road increased, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars unveiled

200EX, the experimental forerun-

ner to Ghost, at the Geneva motor

show in March 2009. An instant

hit, 200EX bore the trademark

Rolls-Royce design cues but in alto-

gether more compelling fashion. It

was a clear statement of intent.

What the design team was seeking

to create was a modern Rolls-

Royce that achieved a new dyna-

mism but remained true to its

luxurious heritage. They had found

inspiration in contemporary furni-

ture, architecture and yachts but

also in the spirit of the 1930s – that

sense of adventure and endeavour – which they

wanted to capture in the character of this new car.

After the show, 200EX embarked on a world tour,

during which further information about the forthco-

ming production model became available. It would

be powered by a new 6.6 litre V12 unique to the

marque, delivering 563 bhp with extraordinary per-

formance figures. It would ride on an intelligent air

suspension system offering peerless ride and dyna-

mics. And it would be called

Ghost.

“Ghost is one of the most re-

vered names in automotive in-

dustry,” said Tom Purves. “It

evokes images of adventure

and technical innovation. The

first cars to bear the Ghost

name were known not only for

impressive dependability and

refinement but also great flair

and style.”

Following the overwhelmingly

positive reaction to 200EX du-

ring its travels, very few changes were made in the

transition to the production Ghost – a tribute to the

remarkable achievements of Ian Cameron’s and

Helmut Riedl’s design and engineering teams.

In September 2009, the new Rolls-Royce Ghost was

formally launched to the world.

Ghost is a vision of simplicity – of taking the core va-

lues of Rolls-Royce and creating contemporary ef-

fortless luxury. Ghost has been engineered to ride

and drive in peerless fashion. The chassis’ poise de-

livers a dynamically engaging experience for the

driver, yet a serene, comfortable ride for passengers.

Engine power is delivered in a manner which has be-

come an engineering signature, seemingly effort-

lessly and endlessly. The latest in-car technology falls

easily to hand while forming part of the background.

The S c en e

This year, the Oscars did a tribute to horror

films, during which, the presenters lamented

that these films don’t get the recognition they

deserve. Perhaps these

presenters have been li-

ving in a time capsule be-

cause, over and over, we

see these small indepen-

dent horror films become

cult classics and launch

the careers of some of

our greatest directors

(Polanski, Rami, Jack-

son).

And now, thanks to her success, we can enjoy it inmore places than just the island of Nantucket with theupcoming opening of the new soaring Cheryl Fudgeflagship store at 1010 Montana Avenue in Santa Mo-nica, a summer Fashion Camp at the exclusive MalibuCountry Mart, and plans to add locations up and downthe coast in coming months.

“We've just had so many celebrities and other devotedclientele from off-island visiting us for years asking whycouldn’t we open one where they live,” says Fudge, “Idecided to take the leap to the west coast, specificallyLA and Malibu, where a significant part of our custo-mer base lives,” says Fudge, “It's also where womenwho want to cultivate their own unique style and whowant to do it as uniquely as possible thrive.”

In fact, that's why people have flocked in fashionabledroves to Fudge's Nantucket island Mecca for years.

With the idea ofpurchasing piecesthat nobody elsewill be wearingwhile sipping at acocktail party ornetworking at ahigh-end fundrai-ser, island visitorshave found thisapproach to get-ting dressed upextremely ap-pealing. No doubther hand-dyed fa-brics and etherealcouture designscreated from col-

lectible vintage silk scarves and rich fabrics have enti-ced them as well.And no two women have ever been seen in Cheryl Fud-ge’s clothing because each piece is one-of-a-kind. Butlet it never be said Fudge's penchant for designingpretty things is all exclusive, she wants to inspire you todesign your own clothing by tapping into your inherentcreative juices at “Fashion Camp.”

Her camp that started seven years ago as a way tokeep her customers' kids busy while they shopped, hasnow evolved into an experience that was voted "Top 10Things to do on Nantucket" by Country Living maga-zine. And a summer booking has now become as elu-sive a reservation as a table at The Pearl, Nantucket'sTony restaurant across the street.

Camp “designers” of all ages create their own clothingchoosing from 1,000's of different vintage patches, rib-bons, trims and styles. "We encourage kids to choosetheir own options, and we guide them through it. Theyknow exactly what they want, and they are very proudto wear it afterward. It is about being creative, and buil-ding self-esteem. We actually don't think of ourselvesas retail at all we think of ourselves as a 'design expe-rience'," says Fudge. So in-demand are her parties thata recent private birthday party package deal went for$20,000 at the Storybook Charity Ball live auction forMass General Hospital in Boston.

Not to mention Fudge was recently jetted out to LA tohost a Sweet 16 birthday party where she designed withteens for two hours, had her stitchers sewing the party-goers designs on-site, and then did a fashion show withthe clothes they made.

“We had a videographer that made DVD’s of the kid’s

party with me,” says Fudge, adding that the clients wereloyal shoppers at her Nantucket boutique.

Fudge also offers free fashion camp for Autistic chil-dren, inspired by former NBC CEO Bob Wright and hiswife Suzanne, both devoted Nantucketers, who startedAutism Speaks after finding out their grandchild hadautism.

“After a breakfast I had with Suzanne, I was inspired tooffer free fashion camps during the summer at ourNantucket store. We block off scheduled studio timesto accommodate families that might find it difficult toparticipate in a public group setting and offer them pri-vate classes in the summer.”

Certain social circles are circulating the scoop aboutFashion Camp as well. Catherine Zeta Jones' and“Curb Your Enthusiasm's” Cheryl Hines' kids took partin her Fashion Camp this past summer on Nantucket.

This is nothing new though to Fudge. Hollywood’s sty-lish set has followed her for years.

When all is said and done, the captivating designerhopes to create a fashion empire based on a core goalof making fashion fun to wear while encouraging theinner designer in all of us. So far so good!

e is the soul of the Company, its founder and creator. He leaves his daring mark on

every single piece designed for de GRISOGONO. For Fawaz Gruosi, everything began

one day in 1952… President, owner and founder of the company de GRISOGONO, not-

hing predestined Fawaz Gruosi to become one of the most sought-after watchmakers and

jewellers of his generation. Born on the 8th of August 1952, he spent his childhood in

Florence with his mother. Driven by the need to find a job, but also out of interest in beauty

and art in general, he left school at 18 in order to train as a sales assistant with a famous

Florentine jeweller. Seven years later, the latter asked Fawaz Gruosi to oversee the opening

of a new store in London, first as a consultant to the firm, a position that quickly saw him

evolve into store manager for a period of four years.

At only 30, he was noticed by the Alizera family, official agent to Harry Winston, who of-

fered him the position of representative in Saudi Arabia. Enterprising and dynamic, Fawaz

Gruosi agreed to take up the challenge. After three years, he returned to Europe, where

he was immediately contacted by the Bulgari company. Gianni Bulgari, a cult name in

the world of jewellery, created a new position for him within Bulgari Precious Trading, put-

ting his complete trust in him. He thus became the first within the group to have access

to the brand new high-jewellery collections, which he would be responsible for selling

worldwide, except for the Bulgari stores, of which there were only eight back then. A fan-

tastic field of opportunities opened up before Fawaz Gruosi, enabling him to fill up his

address book with the numerous relationships he built up. It was a unique and extremely

enriching experience, but when Gianni Bulgari left the company, he decided to follow suit

and stand on his own two feet. In 1993, without any commercial strategy, he founded de

GRISOGONO with two associates. Based in rue du Rhône in Geneva, Fawaz Gruosi offe-

red his customers exclusive art objects and began to express his creativity through inventive

and precious jewellery. Shortly after, the de GRISOGONO style took shape through ever

more surprising designs and volumes.

In 1996, not even a year after Fawaz Gruosi

parted company with his two associates, a new

chapter opened for de GRISOGONO. Driven by

a continuous urge to anticipate trends without

fearing to stray from the beaten track, Fawaz

Gruosi restored the prestige of black diamonds,

which had been neglected by jewellers for de-

cades. Indeed, he discovered a 190 carat gem

called “Black Orlov” as he came across it by

chance whilst reading. Fawaz Gruosi was lite-

rally fascinated by this black dia-

mond. He then decided to dedicate

to it an absolutely unique jewellery

collection, which met with raptu-

rous acclaim. Only three years after

its launching, the per carat price of

the black diamond literally explo-

ded on the precious stones market

– quite an unprecedented event!

Today, these black diamonds adorn

necklaces, earrings, rings, and bra-

celets, wonderfully enhancing vo-

luptuous pearls, blazing rubies,

deep emeralds, or quite simply

white diamonds. Encouraged by his

unexpected success, Fawaz Gruosi

kept trusting his instincts. His jewel-

lery creations, recognizable

amongst thousands, seduced the

customers and surprised the profes-

sionals.

In 2000, after acquiring considera-

ble experience as a jeweller, Fawaz

Gruosi chose to enter the world of

watchmaking and presented his

first-ever watch at BaselWorld. He

called it Instrumento N°Uno. It was

only the first in a series of succes-

ses. Thanks to Fawaz Gruosi’s in-

ventiveness, the de GRISOGONO

Company, launched more than 20

watch collections between 2000

and 2009, all distinguishing them-

selves on exclusive and original de-

signs. At the same time, de

GRISOGONO’s jewellery collecti-

ons were enriched with new designs

using stingray (galuchat), opalescent diamonds

– “Icy Diamonds” – or a new shade of gold with

a brown glint called “Browny Brown Gold”. All

these inventions have been praised by the cus-

tomers and are a testimony to Fawaz Gruosi’s

insatiable inspiration.

Fawaz Gruosi has always been inventive. Neit-

her gemmologist nor designer, he owes his suc-

cess in the first place to his passion and curiosity

and, no doubt, to his genuine creative talent.

Avoiding fashionable gimmicks, he plays with

trends, sometimes against the tide, only liste-

ning to his inspiration. “Everything I see around

me, in nature or in everyday objects, is a source

of inspiration”, he confides.

He trusts his intuitions, always refusing to give

way before what others would deem impossible.

He follows no commercial rules, and still suc-

ceeds in everything he does. A hard worker

whose uncompromising, demanding nature is

here to serve the highest standards, Fawaz

Gruosi willingly admits to being impatient. “I like

reactivity, I want things to move fast”, he confi-

des. “The people who work with me must ac-

cept that”. Also, he never takes a holiday! “ I

find it very hard to relax, some people even

think that I am a maniac”. He also has very few

spare-time activities, but many passions, such

37

as dogs, good wine and good food; alas, too

often unquenched, due to a lack of time. Still

he manages to keep some spare time for his

daughters, Allegra and Violetta. Fawaz Gruosi

is also on the watch when it comes to acquire

antiques – preferably Florentine – or works of

art. “As far as my collections of objects or pain-

tings are concerned, I trust my intuition, as for

everything else. It doesn’t matter whether it is a

classical or a contemporary piece, I am simply

an aesthete.” An implacable truth that has been

evidenced for 15 years, through the watch and

jewellery collections by de GRISOGONO, reve-

aling with every piece the daring passion of their

creator. When asked? I do things out of passion

, I create out of Instinct. He is an atypical entre-

preneur. By dint of daring and creativity, this

passionate man has turned de GRISOGONO

into an internationally recognized brand.

how do you see de GrISoGono’s achieve-

ments in the last 16 years?

In the first place, I really want to emphasize that

de GRISOGONO’s success is based on team-

work. I haven’t made de GRISOGONO on my

own. As a founder, president and designer, it is

true that my role is on the foreground, to create

the buzz through our creations and our events;

however, I am only the standard bearer of an

enthusiast and motivated team. There lies, wit-

hout a doubt, one of our strengths: there is a

team spirit at de GRISOGONO, and we must

ensure that we perpetuate it as the company

grows.

de GRISOGONO has experienced spectacular

progression: the number of staff has almost

doubled in three years, as well as the turnover.

How do you manage this growth? Unbridled

growth is a company’s worst enemy. This requi-

res fast structural adaptation, considerable in-

vestments, and constant risk-taking. For some

years, we have taken on an important work re-

garding our structure: we have consolidated the

foundations, developed our production capaci-

ties thanks to new watch making and jewellery

workshops, and strengthened our executive, fi-

nancial, and commercial management, so that

we can feel serene about our future. Our or-

ganization is now ready to manage the expected

growth.

what are your priorities in terms of distribution?

With 7 subsidiaries in France, Italy, UK, USA, Japan,

Saint-Barthélemy and Hong-Kong, 16 stores and almost

180 retailers worldwide, we now have an extremely ef-

ficient distribution network. We can’t do everything at

the same time. Our priority is to strengthen our position

on those markets where we are firmly established.

how would you define de GrISoGono’s distinctive

features?

What is Fawaz Gruosi’s touch? My strength lies in being

anti-commercial! I do things out of passion, I create out

of instinct. If I had followed every advice of those who

know about jewellery and watchmaking, the de GRISO-

GONO company would certainly not be here. We are

not interested in doing what others have done very well.

Creativity and boldness are the key reasons for our suc-

cess. de GRISOGONO’s independence allows us to take

risks and venture where others don’t. That is how we

can present original creations that find an audience. We

do not need a great deal of marketing research to pre-

sent a new watch or a jewellery creation: either we be-

lieve in what we develop and do all we can to finish and

launch the product, or we cut it off. This freedom of

creation is certainly an asset, and it surely shows in the

creations designed by de GRISOGONO.

how do you explain the impressive rise of de

GrISoGono?

The secret is to maintain creativity, to maintain

our determination to do things well; you need

to feel the urge to go further. You can find this

drive everywhere at de GRISOGONO and, quite

obviously, this is what moves the company for-

ward. Although both competences are para-

mount to the success of any company, we are

more creative people rather than finance spe-

cialists, which is obviously telling on our collecti-

ons. This is perhaps another reason why de

GRISOGONO has managed to emerge

amongst the giants of the industry.

exactly what we had forecasted: a veritable triumph!

Four days filled with marvelous surprises, stupefying

chic and classic beauty. When smart air parked its

come! top Marques Monaco was definitely operating

under another dimension, attested by the fact that all

the exhibitors were already in place before the the ice-

landic cloud explosion hit the headlines; the only live

supercar show in the world was on the road to making

headlines of its own.

cars, you have to look far and wide to find another city that is more endowed with the

automobile heritage that Monaco has. It thus comes as no surprise that Top Marques

Monaco, the only live supercar show in the world, makes its home in this privileged

site on the Mediterranean.

HOw THe JacKsOn 5were DiscOVereD

This is probably one of

the most legend-filled

story about Michael

Jackson and his

brothers. There are

many different stories

about who discovered

them and when. The

truth, as confirmed by

several of the brothers,

is as following. Motown

artists Bobby Taylor and Gladys Knight had «The

Jackson 5» open their shows at Chicago’s The Guys'

and Gals' Cocktail Lounge and Restaurant. Both

Knight and Taylor were extremely impressed with the

boys and decided to bring them to the atten-

tion of Motown. Bobby Taylor invited the

brothers and father Joe to live at his Detroit

apartment on July 22, 1968. Due to shortage

of beds, they had to sleep on the floor. The

next day, Motown executive Suzanne de Passe

and Taylor persuaded Motown founder and

owner Berry Gordy to let «The Jackson 5» au-

dition at Motown. The brothers sang James

Brown’s «I Got The Feeling». Gordy, who was

very reluctant to receive them before the au-

dition, was blown away. He immediately de-

cided to sign the boys and to make huge stars

out of them.

In November of the same year Berry Gordy invited

the Jackson brothers to his villa where they met Mo-

town’s shakers and rollers. They performed before

Motown stars, executives and creative people, and

later met Diana Ross and several other stars. This

was famously depicted in the ABC mini-series «The

Jacksons – An American Dream». Gordy came up

with a great plan to introduce the Jackson 5 to the

world. He simply had Diana Ross do it. The Jackson

5 made their TV debut on «The Ed Sullivan Show»,

singing their first single «I Want You Back». After the

performance, Ed Sullivan asked Diana Ross, who was

in the audience to stand up. He then proclaimed that

she had discovered the «Jackson 5» in Gary, IN. The

same was written on the back cover of the group’s

first album which was called «Diana Ross Presents

The Jackson 5».

There is not much that hasn’t been said about Michael Jackson after his tragic deathon June 25 of this year. But what really remains? His fans will say: a legend, the Kingof Pop. His friends and family say: a man who was too kind for this world. Or, as hissister Janet put it: To you he was a superstar, to us he was family. Here we are goingto look at the beginnings and what made this young boy the most famous person thathas ever lived – well within his lifetime.

By Paul Voth

When «The Jackson 5» were inducted into the

«Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame» on May 16, 1997,

Michael Jackson remembered those first

months during his acceptance speech. Of that

party at Berry Gordy’s house he said: «Berry

Gordy, you promised us four consecutive num-

ber one records. And you delivered them all. I’ll

never forget it. It was a first in music history».

MicHael & Diana rOss

When Michael and his brothers were signed at

Motown Records, one of Michael’s biggest wis-

hes was to meet his idol Diana Ross. That par-

ticular wish came true very soon, when the boys

and father Joe met her and other stars at a

party held by Motown founder Berry Gordy. Mi-

chael and Diana developed a deep friendship

over the years.

At some point in the nineties Michael and

Diana had a mysterious falling out, which they

must have resolved. As the world now knows, he

named her back-up guardian of his children if his

mom was not willing or able to take that role.

After Michael Jackson’s death, tapes have surfaced

in which the singer speaks of deep feelings of love for

Diana Ross. Whether they were reciprocated or not

is a mystery for

the ages.

THe BrOTHers

The relationship

between Michael

and his brothers

wasn't always

easy. There were

the pillow-fights

in hotel rooms

while on tour.

There were the

pranks played on

grown-ups. But

there was also

the rivalry and

other troubles.

Another issue

was the fact, that Michael was so obviously the star

of the band. Sure, there was the handsome Jermaine

and Jacky who were popular too. But wherever they

went, Michael was the star. It went even so far that

sometimes they were introduced as «Michael Jackson

and The Jackson 5» – and this was back in the se-

venties, before «Off The Wall», before «Thriller», «Bil-

lie Jean» and all the rest.

leaVing MOTOwn

By the mid-seventies The Jackson 5 weren't as suc-

cessful as they used to. The last number two hit in

the US is the 1974 single «Dancing Machine». Their

last single released under Motown is the beautiful «All

I Do Is Think Of You» which peaks at 50 in the US

R&B charts and fails to chart in the US mainstream

charts or in the UK.

Michael and his brothers put more and more pres-

sure on Motown to let them write and produce their

own work. But Motown was beginning its decline and

it seems that CEO Berry Gordy was unwilling to make

changes.

Ultimately the Jackson brothers decided to leave Mo-

town. With one exception: Jermaine. The lead singer

of the Jackson family band,

before Michael joined, had

married Gordy's daughter

Hazel and felt indebted to his

father-in-law. He remained

with Motown and left the

Jackson 5. He later released

a few albums which never

had the same kind of success

he had enjoyed with the

Jackson 5 in their heyday. To

replace Jermaine, the youn-

gest Jackson brother Randy

joined the band. The group

signed with CBS records in

1976 and changed their

name to «The Jacksons» be-

cause Motown legally stop-

49

ped them from using the name «The Jackson

5» any longer. They released 6 albums before

Michael left the band in 1984, effectively dis-

solving the band. Some of the biggest Jack-

sons hits which are still well known today are

«Blame It On The Boogie», «Shake Your Body

Down (To The Ground)», «Can You Feel It»,

«Enjoy Yourself», «State Of Shock» (with Mick

Jagger) and more.

THe JacKsOns sPliT

In 1984 The Jacksons (The Jacksons plus Jer-

maine) embarked upon a nationwide tour.

During that tour Michael's striving for creative

control and his expectations of his brothers lead to

the inevitable: The Jacksons split. What ensued was

a first major upset between the Jackson brothers.

With the brothers' age differences it must have been

difficult to keep things together for as long as they

had. The traditional Jehova's Witnesses upbringing

they had would have been a huge help in this. That,

however, can only last for so long. Additionally, Mi-

chael wanted more control over what he did as an

artist. The 1982 album «Thriller» had already made

him a super-star in his own right. It is not easy having

a little brother who works in the same field as you,

only with a lot more success. Once the split came

about, the anger and frustration on both sides lead

to confrontations and some legal disputes. Michael

Jackson donated his earnings from the tour to chari-

table organizations. That was the last time Michael

recorded or toured with his brothers.

leaVing THe nesT

After the split from his brothers, Michael withdrew

from the family and dedicated all of his time to wor-

king on his solo career. He released the hugely suc-

cessful «Bad» album in 1987 after writing «We Are

The World» for the «USA For Africa» charity project

in 1985. «Bad» spawned a massive 4 number one

singles and 2 top ten hits. The least successful single

in the US-charts was «Another Part Of Me» which was

released during the Bad

World Tour and peaked

at "only" 11.

THe resT is HisTOry

In 1991 Michael Jack-

son released the heavily

anticipated Dangerous

Album. One of the big-

gest selling albums ever

and the biggest selling

album of the nineties, it

included hits like «Black

Or White», «Remember

The Time», «Give In To

Me» and many more.

«Heal The World» was

another big hit all

around the world, except

for the USA.

From day one the sales

figures of the «Dange-

rous» album

were astronomi-

cal and solidified

the image of Mi-

chael Jackson as

a living legend. His «Dangerous World Tour»

broke record after record.

Michael Jackson was also entered into the

«Guinness Book Of World Records» as having

donated more money to charity than any

other artist that ever lived. He still holds that

record, along with many, many more. Those

days were the last times that Michael could

really enjoy his life. The problems had already

50

begun. In the eighties Michael had had an ac-

cident during the filming of a commercial for

«Pepsi», in which part of his scalp was burned.

An injury he never recovered from. It was also

the time that he was diagnosed with «Vitiligo».

A skin condition that slowly but unstoppably de-

stroyed the color-pigmentation of his skin, es-

sentially turning him white.

Those problems along with other health issues

like a lung condition he had since birth were joi-

ned by extortion and public accusations against

him. Eventually he was tried and found inno-

cent, but not until 10 years after the first accu-

sations. By that time he was already branded a

pervert, a weirdo.

The astonishing thing was not only that Michael

survived all of these things. He also released

music throughout and after these ordeals. And

successfully. The «HIStory» album which was re-

leased after the first allegations became the big-

gest selling double-album of its time. Statues

were erected all over the world to promote the

album and Michael kept selling out stadiums and

breaking sales records.

No matter what he had to go through or what was

done to him, his music always shone through. No

other artist has had to go through anything remotely

as career-ending as Michael Jackson, emerging with

a still intact career at the other end.

The perfection, dedication and endless talent and

love for music are the things that have never before

come together in one single man in this way. And

they never will again.

So lay back, play your favourite Michael Jackson re-

cord and thank God that you had the pleasure to

have witnessed that period of time in which Michael

Jackson walked the Earth.

As for Michael - I will leave you with one of his most

memorable quotes:

«If you enter this world knowing you are

loved and you leave this world knowing the

same, then everything that happens in bet-

ween can be dealt with.»

The Jackson Family Charitable Foundation, a

not for profit organization, was established by

Joseph and Katherine Jackson for the purpose

of developing the Jackson Family Museum &

Cultural Center, Michael Jackson Performing

Arts Center & Concert Hall, and Michael

Jackson Memorial Pavilion to be built in the

birthplace of the Jackson musical family;

Gary, Indiana. The Jackson Family Center is

to be both a memorial to their son Michael

and a tribute to their entire family. In addition,

the Jackson Family Charitable Foundation will

support cultural,

social and educa-

tional projects as

well as carry on

the philanthropic

work of Michael

Jackson.

The Jackson Fa-

mily Center will

also include va-

rious other ele-

I WAS THEREBy Rose Marie Perez

I’m on a plane headed for Mallorca, a small Mediterranean island

that has long been a permanent place of residence (or a home

away from home) for many celebrities like Catherina Zeta-Jones,

Michael Douglas, Annie Lennox, Claudia Schiffer, Cynthia

Charles, Julian Lennon, Michael Schumacher, Steve McManaman

and Joseph Jackson.

It’s Friday and I’m on my way to my first interview with J., a new

Diamond Cardholder who has asked Totalprestige to promote his

private resort: Villa Scorpio

1756

A MediterrAneAn PArAdiseVIll A ScoRPIo

1857

Some of his staff are waiting for me at the

airport to pick me up and they drove me

with the resort private car to visit his man-

sion, in which also can be reached di-

rectly by helicopter.

It’s a sunny day and the landscape is truly

awesome. It’s so quiet and peaceful here!

Once at the mansion they lead me to my

room, as I will stay here over the week-

end. I’m then invited to tour the resi-

dence. These are the key words that

come to my mind as I tour the premises:

Beauty, quality, good taste, relaxation...

The time has come for my interview with

J., a German millionaire entrepreneur

who owns several residences throughout

the world.

Now that I’ve met him, I am pleased to

add that he’s got an exquisite good taste,

has a charming personality... and that it

is a real pleasure to deal with him. Here’s

a man who is proud of his professional

success and of the fact that he has always

been true to himself and to his personal

convictions.

He tells me that he wants to promote his

private resort, but only within a closed cir-

cle. J. laughs and cheerfully replies ‘Ya!’

when I ask him with a smile on my face:

"So... you want this done ‘off-market?’"

He explains that Villa Scorpio is an extra-

ordinary place (as it is, indeed!) and

should therefore be available only to ex-

traordinary people. He lists some of the

celebrities who have spent time at Villa

Scorpio (all of them through ‘word of

mouth’ referrals), seeking a haven to es-

cape from annoying paparazzi and daily

stress, in order to relax and enjoy their

stay for a few weeks or for just a week-

end. It’s not necessary to book the entire

mansion: Guests can also book a private

suite. I must add that this resort is also

available for top level events.

Then we tour the entire mansion once

again, but now together. The swimming

pool is... impressive! The surrounding

landscape is... incredible! I notice some

images of scorpions embroidered on cus-

hions and engraved on a bench, so I ask

J., "What about these?" He smiles, shrugs

his shoulders casually and replies, "Ah, its

simple... I'm a Scorpio!"

MALLORCAMallorca (Majorca), to many considered the capital of theBalearic Islands (Menorca and Ibiza), lies in the Mediterraneansea off the south east cost of Mainland spain.

By lVH Staff

60

From the onset of mass tourism in the 1960's, Mal-

lorca has without a doubt become one of thee most

popular destinations in Europe. Its proximity to all

major cities in Europe, beautiful weather, nightlife

and wide range of attractions from the 14th century

Gothic cathedral to the excellent restaurants, fashion

shops continues to attract tourists by the numbers.

Last year the Son Sant Joan International Airport of

Mallorca recorded over 20 Million visitors to the Is-

land, second only to Las Vegas.

To the untrained traveler, a visit to Mallorca will place

you among the crowded tourists and beaches in the

capital Palma. However head north, approximately

60 km towards Mancor and a whole new world

awaits you in the town of Petra.

This sleepy town of sand colored houses would be

completely off the tourist map if it were not the birth-

place of Mallorca's most famous son, Fray Junipero

Serra. Born in 1713 he became a priest in 1730 and

worked as a missionary in Mexico from 1749 to

1763. At the age of 54 he was sent to California; the

missions he established there grew into some Ame-

rica's largest cities including San Diego and San

Francisco.

To this day you can visit the house where Serra's pa-

rents lived, a museum devoted to his life and work,

the font where he was baptized and a plaque outside

the same church describing him as a “Explorer Mis-

sionary hero civilizer.” Along the street leading to his

birthplace are decorations of majolica tiles depicting

him baptizing Native Americans.

The beautiful Muro beach, the cleanest I have seen,

is unparalleled and completes the scenery of tran-

quility, contemplation and meditation of the town.

The surroundings remind you of Tuscany but with a

Spanish flair.

There is another gem to Petra not many but the cho-

sen few have discovered. Out of nowhere, like a mi-

rage on a sunny day, from the narrow winding roads

we stumbled upon the massive gates of a very large

private resort “Residencia Real” (Royal Residence).

So seclusive like the Fort Knox bullion depository, se-

curity camera flashes greeted us as the paparazzi

greet those walking the red carpet at the Oscars. En-

graved on the gates is the world famous Freemason

symbol. We discovered from locals nearby that

among other activities it is used also as a Grand

lodge for the Freemasons in Mallorca.

61

From the design of “Residencia Real”, you can tell it

was made to exude power, wealth and total privacy.

Our curiosity got the better of us. We searched for days,

asking various acquaintances and making numerous

phone calls. Finally we found a valuable lead that di-

rected us to the company Ezra Group AG (www.Ezra-

Group.de). After listening to us talk about our love of

the town Petra and the reasons for us wanting to ex-

plore the property, Mr. Andrew Shawn, Chief Executive

officer of Ezra Group /AG, agreed to grant us an hour

access to the resort three days later.

What if you slept and in your sleep you dreamt that you

went to heaven. And there found and plucked the most

strange and beautiful flower. And what if, when you

woke up you still had that flower in your hand! What if?

That was the feeling we had going through “Residencia

Real”. Designed to perfection, it is a wonder to behold.

The landscaping is one to marvel about. With over 500

Palm trees imported from the mainland, Residencia

Real is the largest collection on any world resort. Flo-

wers and plants from all parts of the world greet you as

you wonder through the plethora of amenities: Helicop-

ter landing pads, a man made lake, a Golf putting-

green, custom heated swimming pools. Tennis courts,

basketball courts, A country club lounge, custom jog-

ging path surrounding the whole resort etc.

Two villas grace the property. Villa Vista Tramontana,

with over 16,000 sq feet, 8 king size suits, it gives you

a picturesque view of the Tramontana mountains. Go

further north and a second 8,000 sq feet Villa “El Scor-

pion” awaits you. Both villas are furnished with the most

custom luxury furniture collection from nearly every cor-

ner of the globe. Marble walls, granite bathrooms, sto-

nes comparable in size to those that built the

Colosseum in Rome, wellness, Jakuzzi, fitness, flat

screens, conference rooms, literally everything to mes-

merize the mind. It is a labor of love.

The large solar panels, satellite dishes, wireless com-

munication and private water wells did not go unnoti-

ced. This place is built for self sufficiency. We learned

from the staff that Disney filmed the promotion of High

school Musical II in Europe at this resort.

What struck me most was how attention had been paid

to every little detail. For example there is jogging path

that runs through the whole resort, that would give one

the feeling of running through paradise. As our alloted

time was almost over, I inquired how members move

62

63

around the other cities. I must have caught him off

guard, with his mind occupied with the paper he was

reading. He answered nonchalantly. “Oh, we have a 9

seater Citation XL Private Jet that belongs to the resort

and is on standby to take our members to any major

city in Europe.”

Feeling my way, I inquired what corporations or private

individuals should do, it they wanted to use the resort.

He provided us with the contact details of Rose Marie

Perez, founder of the luxury Private Club, TotalPrestige.

If you are an extraordinary, hard to please person who

will only accept the finest, and wish to spend a few days

of rest and relaxation with guaranteed discretion at the

Villa Scorpio paradise, you can receive further informa-

tion by E-mailing her at [email protected]
