If I were a rich man…

Posted 13/02/2008 by The Daily Diary

In a marketing gambit as shameless as it is unlikely to be effective, an education provider that shall remain nameless last week emailed The Diary about its latest cunning stunt, which it intends to unleash upon pliant private client firms forthwith.

The company is offering a course for super-rich individuals on how to spend their money, when surely a quick flick through the pages of OK! magazine or iwantoneofthose.com would give you all manner of ideas.

The ‘Inheritors of Wealth’ course apparently offers guidance on philanthropy and various unnamed “other activities” – possibly including such playboy essentials as gadding and/or larking about, giving supermodel girlfriends lifts home in your diamond-studded stealth helicopter and buying hotels because you like the upholstery.

Even better news, bargain-hunters, is that the course costs a mere £6,000. Presumably anybody who coughs up their six grand immediately gets an F.

Hefner: knows how money SHOULD be spent
