This unique individual is none other than the current majority owner of the Brooklyn Nets Mikhail Prokhorov. Sitting at over 8.9 billion dollars in net worth, in 2010 the NBA approved Prokhorov to purchase 80% of the then New Jersey Nets.

his take on how the loved ones would feel as they opened up these letters, “ Open the envelope quickly, O this is not our son’s handwriting, yet his name is sign’d, O a strange hand writes for our dear son, O stricken mother’s soul!
