Do you have any other fictional characters that should be on this list?

When success strikes, the opportunities for amusement are endless. Whether it’s horse racing or saving the planet, being part of the billionaire club carries some cachet. But when a hobby becomes a serious labor of love—artistic, philanthropic or otherwise—people start to take note. This special feature takes a look into the passions and pursuits of some of the most powerful people in the world. It’s not your average stamp collection.

Sean Parker, a 33 year old American technology businessman and entrepreneur, co-founded Napster, Plaxo, Causes and Airtime along with being Facebook's founding president. 

As of March 2012, his net worth was estimated to be $2.4 billion.

Google unveils “Project Glass,” and no, it’s not another spin-off of Project Runway with Heidi Klum.  It’s actually a really cool concept that takes the functionality of a smartphone into eyewear. These “reality glasses” provide users real-time information right in front of their eyes, like location, transit, and weather.

A friend contacted me asking for help with this needy local fundraiser!

According to a recent Wall Street Journal entry:

America’s millionaire population is still growing – though not by much.

The number of millionaires in America grew by 200,000 in 2011, according to a new report from Chicago-based Spectrem Group.

That sounds like a lot — especially with so many Americans still losing jobs and homes. But it represents a growth rate of only 2% – much slower than the growth in 2009 and 2010.

Wow, what an amazing event last night! Thanks to Linda and Dave as well as all the sponsors for hosting yet another great networking event for us all!

If you weren't there you missed scintillating conversation, announcements, awesome hor d'ourves as well as watching the guys drinking green margarita's! 

The nineties cult favorite “American Pie” series returned this week with the highly anticipated follow-up “American Reunion.” The cast returns for a high school reunion to relive their wild antics.

The beautiful Charlene Amoia joins the cast as Kevin’s wife for the most recent installment. At the Los Angeles première she stole the show on the red carpet, looking sophisticated in a geometric Aiisha dress complemented by gorgeous Feri jewelry.

Online pinboard “Pinterest” is the hottest, new website.  TechCrunch.com reports, “Pinterest generated 421 million pageviews in the U.S. in October of 2011, up 2,000 percent since June when it was at an estimated 20 million.”

Like many pregnant starlets who have come before her, Roselyn Sanchez bared her baby bump for the cover of Puerto Rican lifestyle magazine, IMAGEN. Roselyn glows and shines decked out in Feri jewelry. The “Without A Trace” television star had her first child in January. Congrats to the new parents!
