Prokhorov Income Up, Worth Down
Today, we are faced with two somewhat contradictory reports on Mikhail Prokhorov's wealth. New calculations of his INCOME, which he filed with the Russian Central Election Commission, show his annual income over the last four years at $3.7 billion, or close to a billion dollars annually.
Meanwhile, Forbes is reporting that his two biggest investments have seen better days, dropping by half (RusAl, the big Russian aluminum producer) and by a third (Polyus Gold)...although both are picking up again. As a result, says Forbes, Prokhorov's NET WORTH has dropped $5 billion to between $12 and $13 billion, about the same as Trail Blazers' Paul Allen. Will it effect the Nets? Nope, say insiders. He's still paying the bills.

It's very tough to estimate a billionaire wealth!! Too many variables.
He will make good money once Barclays center opens!!

that those who saw his financials, with the details at the NBA told him the number was $25+ billion.

That was 1 2/3 years ago. I believe what Proky puts down on his financial statement more that Forbes, who always seem to be on the low end of Proky's wealth.
I thought the price of Gold has rocketed up to $1700 an ounce (high was over $1900.?
not according to Forbes anyway

Not a conspiracy theorist that much, but...
Do you guys feel that somehow this Swag thing is going in that way that he might be out (6-8 weeks kind of stuff) to avoid any trade involving him.
