This two-story apartment mansion on the Upper East Side covers an area of more than 370 square meters and overlooks the whole Manhattan street view. There are China porcelain vases, colored porcelain lamps, wooden screens and other ancient furniture in the room, which shows that the owner is quite interested in China antique collection. There is a Steinway miniature piano in the living room, and the Indian-style carpet is also an antique, which is valuable.
The four-poster queen bed specially customized for the master bedroom makes the whole room look luxurious, with uniform curtains and sofas, and no other complicated decorations, still showing the atmosphere. The bathroom is also very luxurious. The floor is covered with white marble, equipped with sports facilities and flat screen TV. There are three closets in the apartment, which allow people to go in and out freely. Federal agents found more than 50 sets of famous brand suits and dozens of pairs of handmade shoes in Belgium.
Madoff's family studio, leather sofa, sailboat oil painting, and cow-shaped furnishings on the coffee table are obviously the heart of the former Nasdaq chairman. The authorities found 100 cheque in the desk, worth 654.38+73 billion dollars, which Madoff intended to give to relatives and friends after realizing that he had been caught. The spacious dining room is almost equivalent to the master bedroom of ordinary Americans. The kitchen also embodies the unique taste of the owner. In addition to the usual marble, the kitchen countertops are made of stainless steel. The cups displayed in the cupboard are also famous, such as the famous French Baccarat crystal cup. There is a special corner in the kitchen where the host has breakfast, with good lighting and perspective.
The seaview apartment in Palm Beach, Florida was built in 1973, which was Madoff's short-term independence. Bodhi trees are planted in the front yard, and palm trees line up, giving a panoramic view of the whole bay. The villa consists of 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, and the floors are all covered with Mexican tiles. The furniture and decorations are mainly blue and white, and the dining room is decorated with China blue and white porcelain plates. Madoff's favorite bull-shaped decoration can also be found here. There is a telescope pointing at florida bay in the living room, and Madoff can see his yacht moored at a private pier 100 feet away. There are many large plants and a swimming pool with jacuzzi in the backyard.
The villa is located in the southeast corner of Long Island, about 30 14 square feet, which can only be regarded as a cabin level according to the standards of the super rich. But it occupies the position closest to the sea in the whole villa area.
The master bedroom is a typical minimalist style. The antique bedside table is old and faded, and such cabinets are everywhere in the house. The bathroom design also continues the simplicity of the master bedroom, and the appearance judgment is already the decoration in the 1980 s.
There are a group of antique ducks, antique clay pots and cow ornaments on the porch table. The owner seems to have a special preference for China folk antiques.
The stairs extend from the second floor to the living room. Irregular sloping roofs, exposed beams and stone fireplaces all reveal that the owner advocates style and is not a well-behaved person. The whole wall of the restaurant is designed with French windows, with excellent lighting and beautiful sea view. You can see the Atlantic Ocean directly when you go out and stand in the corridor. The winding private path in the backyard is covered with pine trees, rose bushes and dune grass, which can lead directly to the seaside.
Low-key is the best coat for the strong.
Indifferent and quiet, living a tasteful life, tolerance is a gentleman's generosity, and low-key is the best coat of the strong. After a while, you will do things with principles but not make public. "Generosity" is the internal strength for a leader to win. You don't have to take everything seriously, admit that your subordinates are capable and have the right environment to show their skills. Low-key means correctly understanding yourself, and others can't "eat", so you must have the courage to "bypass"
Former president George W. Bush
Former president George W. Bush is another example. As far as his origin is concerned, he is actually a crown prince, a privileged class known as "born with a golden spoon", and the elite cannot be more elite. However, he doesn't know where he learned the Texas accent, and he still looks stupid. During the campaign, he didn't even want to mention his education at Yale University. People call him like a simple and honest guy who repairs cars at a gas station. Perhaps because of this, a man's simplicity is particularly important. Europeans laugh at the ignorance of this old Texas hat, but they don't know that this is the biggest secret of his success in American politics. In the eyes of voters, he is a member of everyone, clumsy and heartless, and has trust in him. And his opponent Al Gore knows too much and always wants to teach you something. Too smart to be glib. So people neither like him nor trust him. In the words of an old lady, "I won't buy a used car from such a person." I can't trust him when he is the president. "From 65438 to 0982, the Olympic Museum, which was personally raised by Samaranch and donated by 48 donors, was originally built in Lausanne, Switzerland, including a library and a document archive. Sa Lao also donated his collection to the museum. 1993, the new building has a new look. 1995 was awarded the European Museum of the Year. At the same time, museums with the theme of Olympic Games are being built all over the world. On the proposal of Samaranch, the International Federation of Olympic Museums was established on July 6th, 2007 in Lausanne, where ioc headquarters is located. The alliance was established to promote the further integration and development of sports and culture, especially in the use of the five-ring symbol of the International Olympic Committee, and agreed to provide support for member museums to promote the global spread of sports and Olympic culture.
On September 22nd, 1990, China Sports Museum officially opened, and Samaranch attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The whole process from planning to implementation of China Sports Museum has attracted the attention of IOC President Samaranch. However, it is a great pity that the China Sports Museum has been closed during the preparation, holding and up to now of the Beijing Olympic Games. In June, 2009, at the 4th annual meeting of the Olympic Museums Union held in Lausanne, Sarah asked earnestly: How is the construction of the new China Sports Museum going? Is it an independent building? Is it from Beijing Olympic Games or China? Mr Samaranch earnestly hopes that the new museum will be completed as soon as possible, and said that after the new museum is completed, he will donate part of his collection to the new China Sports Museum. With the support and promotion of Samaranch, the first Olympic Museum in China started construction in Xiamen. Samaranch made valuable suggestions on the design, collection, composition and operation mode of the venue, and enthusiastically expressed that he would organize his own collection and give it to the museum. Xiamen Olympic Museum officially opened in June+10, 2008, and Tianjin Dagang Olympic Museum officially opened in September, 2009. Both Sam and Lao wrote their own words of blessing, but it was a great pity that they could not witness it in person due to physical reasons. Mr. Wu and Mr. Sa, collectors, curators and IOC members of the design and creation of these two Olympic museums, have had an indissoluble bond for 30 years. Perhaps he was deeply concerned and loved by Mr. Sa for the Olympic collection culture and became the only IOC member who built the Olympic Museum with his own collection. Mr. Wu said that he would continue this career.
After leaving the post of President of the International Olympic Committee, Salau remained the chairman of the Olympic Collection Committee and personally participated in the annual meeting of the International Federation of Olympic Museums and the World Olympic Collection Expo. Sa Lao often participates in activities related to the Olympic collection culture with great interest. Olympic items related to Mr. Sa or himself, such as books and souvenirs, have become word-of-mouth products in the field of Olympic collection, and are frequently sold at high prices in various auctions. On August 8, 2009, the Beijing Olympic Torch signed by Sa Lao was sold for 610.9 million yuan.
