Because fabulous people who want to make a difference in the world, can’t just live on Lady Gaga news alone, here’s a look at a billionaire’s brain today.
1. Christopher Chandler is a billionaire whose from New Zealand.
2. The son of a beekeeper raised in a small town, Christopher Chandler sold his parents small department store and invested the money into Hong Kong real estate.
3. Christopher Chandler is now the brain of Legatum, a company thats a one stop shop as an investment firm and think tank venture fund. Legatum’s mission is: “Legatum is a global investment organisation with a twenty-year history, allocating proprietary capital in the global markets and to programs that promote sustainable human development.” It’s green thinking.
4. The Legatum Institute is involved in creating better analytical tools to gage the global economy. For example, “The American appetite for multiplying unnecessary necessities—like houses consumers bought but could not afford, and that developers built but could not sell—was creating a financial house of cards that could only spell trouble over the long run.” –Legatum don’t want anyone to be caught out like this again, so they’re on top of it as an investment capital company.
5. Christopher Chandler’s first investment partner was his brother, Richard Chandler, whose also a billionaire, proving that families who work smartly together can conquer the world.
6. Initially the Chandler brothers: focused the early biz ventures on transitioning industries in Russia, Latin America and eastern Europe. Transitioning economies like Latin America and eastern Europe is Christopher Chandler’s forte. In transition, there is a wealth of opportunity.
7. Chandler is now based in Dubai. Socially sustainable enterprises, such as microfinance in his main focus. He has heavily invested into India.
9. Chandler’s mother wants to break into Manhatten’s Art and Art Gallery scene. At 72, Ana Tzarev is a character. An innovative personality, she is a self-taught artist. Say’s Tzarev: “I am in front of my easel from 8 a.m. until sunset except for a lunch break with Robert Chandler, my husband of 52 years. I am hermetically dedicated to art,” she said. “I paint seven days a week.” That’s where her sons get their work ethic and creative ability to invest and create new wealth from. Amazing.
10. Creativity. Investment. Performace is Christopher Chandler’s life motto.

We’ve always maintained on Horiwood.Com that in a global recession (likened to the great depression in world history) there are two people that are incredibly important.
Politicians but also the billionaire philanthropist. According to yahoo newsBill Gates, the richest known man in the world, says: “I think all billionaires should give away the vast majority of their fortune. I’m not saying they shouldn’t leave anything for their kids or to have a little bit for themselves but yes, I think they would enjoy it, I think their kids would be better off, and I think the world would be better off.”
Oprah must be trembling in her boots right now! Just kidding, but Bill is so right! It’s about being a Mr Schindler vs being an Adolph Hitler, from Schindler’s List’s key message that Steven Spielberg depicted in his film starring Liam Neeson.
If you can’t take your wealth and fame with you, let it live on the living legacy of the masses who need a helping hand.

In a global recession, the billionaire philanthropist has the opportunity to be the greatest star on the earth in our modern times. It’s a phenomenon that the world is about to see unleashed like never before. There is a direct link between what you give, and what you will then earn… and the well being and health of one’s soul or the state of its leanness. Giving makes people come into the place of their higher calling.
Billionaire Philanthropy is the very purpose of money making gifts given to people, family, individuals and companies. They exist for the benefit of others. These gifts need to come to the fore and shine. I am confident that they are.
Richard Chandler has donated at least $100million to education in India and also SouthEast Asia. What a guy!
Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton are Young Hollywood Celebs who love the limelight. Most of the world's Youngest Billionaires do not. I guess it takes all kinds to make the world go round. But it does make you think.
While Lindsay Lohan might be world famous, she is also looking for work in a recession like 10% of all her fellow Californians are too, right now. But wherever, Lindsay goes, camera’s flash at every turn she makes. Fame is Lindsay’s currency, but somehow she has to convert it into a tangible asset and a paycheck.
All of these 20 names know how to do that. They are names that you probably have never heard of. Each are the youngest billionaires in the world… Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, take notes, like the rest of us. Enjoy the read…
