But the boss, Mikhail Prokhorov reportedly won't be in Atlanta or Washington. He'll be in Turkey celebrating his 50th birthday, says Page Six. And oh, what a party it will be. Page Six reports...
Sources tell Page Six the Russian billionaire will throw a three-day bash at a new house he’s built in Turkey, where guests will include an endless supply of models.
"They are being paid," said a source. "Some have been offered $20,000 to attend a three-day party."
Guests will meet in Moscow and then fly privately to Milas–Bodrum Airport.
