A Russian businessman says Mikhail Prokhorov's biggest problem is that "he suffers from boredom and $7 billion in cash". The stories of his wealth and appetite for life are legendary: how he spends $10 million on a vacation, risks his life on daredevil sports, dates Naomi Campbell and "Russia's Paris Hilton"...and how he is one ruthless businessman. Not to mention the prostitution arrest. At 6'9", he's larger than life.
