Re: David Reuben
I am sitting next to him. He lives in London and Cannes. Has a yacht called Siren that is 242 feet. He is going to Antigua
EFTA00762876
tomorrow. He has done business is Russia for many years- he was the first western investor in Russia...he is into many fab scientific investments ...you need to meet him. How far is your island from Antigua? He is a major nice guy. You would like him..how does he meet you...
bring him over tomorrow for tea
He left this morning on his jet to his 242 foot boat "Siren" at Antigua.
He is a Jew that was born in Bagdad. He grew up in Bombay till he was 15 when the family moved to London. He has a brother Simon. Francine LeFrak is friendly with Simon who has a hugh house in St. Tropez. Richard LeFrak recently, in the past two years got friendly with David.
David knows Len Blavatnik. I think they are friendly competitors. He also knows Jarecki and has been to their island. He told me all night that he knows no one in America. He is a nice looking guy with the first wife and 3 grown kids. The daughter is 31 with 3 kids. The older son, David 29, just moved to New York and is friendly or dating Charlotte Ronson. I told him Anne Jones is orthodox...he never met her but knows the Ronsons from London. The younger son Jamie is 23 and works for David Cameron in London.
He was very interesting and low key. Gives tons to Israel. Hospitals. Invests in medical...is about to announce a new machine for accurate breast cancer detection. Also a substance that hardens bone in the mouth for posts to be drilled for new teeth in a day.
He wore a navy blazer with no tie and was the only man out of 50 with no tie. He is not that sophisticated socially. He knows Denise Rich well because Denise's boyfriend lives in Cannes. His enormous villa (has a ballroom/media room) half the size of Trump's new ballroom) right up the hill from The Carlton. He can walk to my hotel....and wants to see me (the wife too) in Cannes.
He has a 60 year old Irish Canadian widower he met yesterday he wants to introduce me to. Guy lives in Florida, from Montreal. (Can you imagine.) He thought I was not 35, but somewhere between 40 and 50. For once, I did not tell him my age....and he wanted to know why a gorgeous woman like me is not married. (I did look hot last night with my $550 Sally Hershberger haircut and $250 color job)...but that line of questioning bores me and goes nowhere.
I really think this is a guy you can relate to.
Do you want me to pursue this? He speaks many languages. He has done extensive business in China, Korea and mid-East. He is in metals and oil.
What more can I tell you?
I had Arthur Carter on my right and he couldn't get a word in edgewise, not that Arthur wanted to discuss anything but his ugly metal sculptures.
Somers Farkus was there in a long brown chiffon coat with matching skin and I could only think of her eating soaked turkey.
I think you should email this guy. I also have his cell phone. Google him first. xoxo Peg
