ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Everyone loves the wedding season. Some enjoy it for the wide range of delectable food they get to gorge on, while some attend weddings just to click selfies with the bride, groom and with their new outfit in front of a distorted mirror. But if there's anyone who enjoys the wedding season the most, it's the bride's cousin, sister or bridesmaid, because that's the most profitable time of the year. Honestly, the stakes only get high when the groom is super rich. Instagram And we guess actress Parineeti Chopra will agree with us, as it looks like she will be making lots and lots of money at their highly-anticipated wedding next month. At least, her 'joota churai' fee hints at the same. The whole world knows that Priyanka Chopra is getting married to Nick Jonas in December. For those who were living under a rock until now, please go and check Priyanka and Parineeti's social media accounts, as they are flooded with pictures from PeeCee's bridal shower and bachelorette party in Amsterdam. Instagram One such picture was of Parineeti chilling with the bride-to-be Priyanka, which made Nick go weak in the knees for Priyanka once again. View this post on Instagram ð« A post shared by Parineeti Chopra (@parineetichopra) on Nov 5, 2018 at 11:10pm PST Nick commented on the picture and wrote "Wow she is so beautiful. Any chance you could introduce me?” Parineeti being the typical saali jumped on the opportunity and demanded her joota churai fee from him, "She is very hard to get! But I can try for you, if you agree to pay the 5 million dollar shoe hiding fee!" Instagram So, folks, now that the wedding season is here, it's time to let your cousins or siblings know exactly 'how much' you're expecting from them. Priyanka and Nick will reportedly get married in Jodhpur on December 2. -
Xiaomi Is On A Roll As It Has Shipped More Than 100 Million Phones This Year
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Xiaomi's momentum has been exemplary in the last few years, not only has the company established a trusted brand but also managed to grab a huge chunk of market share in countries like India. On Friday night, CEO Lei Jun announced it had reached its goal of shipping 100 million units annually. The brand has accomplished to cross the milestone more than two months ahead of its original plan. The year over year growth has increased to 43 percent and last year as well the company successfully completed its plan of shipping 70 million units. © MensXP / Shivam Vahia On the contrary, Xiaomi's debut on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has been lukewarm. Since its IPO in June, shares have slumped 30 percent amid an increasing competition from Huawei and the empire of BBK mobile that runs OPPO, Vivo, and OnePlus. Huawei reached the 100 million target way back in July and is on track to push 200 million units by the end of the year. Though, comparing the two companies right now is inappropriate because Xiaomi in a new entrant in the business compared to Huawei's decades-long history and experience. © Reuters Richard Yu Chengdong, chief executive of the Huawei Consumer Business Group, responded to Lei on social media, saying “Any smartphone maker cannot surpass Huawei's P20 Pro in a short period of time. Only we can surpass ourselves.” In India, Xiaomi is the number one smartphone maker according to Counterpoint Research's Q3 2018 data. Xiaomi currently holds 27 percent of market share followed by Samsung at 23 percent. In the last one year, the Chinese maker has dethroned Samsung from the number one spot and is widening the gap every quarter. © MensXP Xiaomi is able to sell a huge number of units because its products are in the budget and midrange segments of the market. In a developing country like India, the average purchasing segment is between Rs 11,000 to Rs 18,000. Xiaomi has a wide range of offerings like the Redmi Note 5 Pro, Mi A2, Redmi 6 Pro, and the Redmi Y2 to fill up this segment. Even the newly launched sub-brand POCO has been performing well and provided a much-needed momentum to increase the average purchasing rate of smartphones. Source: Twitter -
Chow Yun-Fat Lives On Just $100 A Month & Plans On Giving His $714 Million Fortune To Charity
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Almost everyone dreams of being super-rich one day, and that's mostly a common goal for everyone. Who wouldn't want to be a millionaire and have an extravagant and lavish life? I will tell you who– someone who's already a multi-millionaire and still prefers living an ordinary life. Quite commendable, if you think about it. The person in question is the legendary actor Chow Yun-fat, who says he lives on just $100 a month and even plans to give away his $714 million fortune to charity. What a guy! Twitter While promoting his movie, 'Project Gutenberg', he opened up about his lifestyle, which is honestly so unexpected for a millionaire. He said, “My dream is to be a happy and normal person.” He went on, “The hardest thing in life is not about how much money you earn, but how to keep a peaceful mindset and live the rest of your life in a simple and carefree manner.” Words to live by, tbh! He said he doesn't like spending any money on himself and would rather spend it doing charity work. He also said he eats at street food stalls and takes public transport as much as he can. The best thing about this is that he also claimed he had used his Nokia phone – probably a flip phone – for 17 years and the only reason he upgraded to a smartphone was because the Nokia phone stopped working. Side note – Apple please take note and make phones that last almost two decades, that will be great! While a lot of us dream of the day where we would shop without even looking at the price tag, the guy who can actually afford to do it prefers shopping at discount stores instead. He said, “I don't wear clothes for other people. As long as I think it's comfortable, then it's good enough for me.” It's great to see that even after being in the film industry for 40 years, he's still so down to earth and humble. We really need more people like him in the world. Moreover, since he and his wife Jasmine Tan have no children, they plan on leaving it all to charity. The couple also established their own charity several years ago and even do a lot of charity work in their spare time. Basically, he has earned so much money but he still believes the best use of it will be to help others. He's known for acting in movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Bulletproof Monk and Crazy Rich Asians among others. -
Qatari Royal Family Lists Its Private Jet For Sale & It Could Be Yours For Just £500 million
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Qatar's royal family has put its luxury jet up for sale and it could sell for as much much as £500,000,000 (that's 500 million). The Royal Family has a whole fleet of Business Jets often called as the Qatar Amiri fleet. There are almost a dozen planes, and one of them is the Boeing 747-8, the world's largest business jet. The Royal Family has two of these Boeing 747-8s and is now looking to sell one of them. To be more precise, the one up for sale has a registration code VQ-BSK and was delivered just recently in December 2012. The interior redesign was completed in December 2014, and the aircraft finally entered service in January 2015. © Controller The aircraft has logged just 436 flight hours along with 200 cycles and is equipped to transport 76 passengers in an extremely luxurious cabin. Onboard facilities include a large bedroom with a double bed, a living room, staterooms and meeting rooms, a bathroom and even its own special hospital. © Controller The Boeing 747-8i, also known as the 747 Dreamliner has a list price of US$ 370 million and is designed to carry more than 400 passengers in a three-class layout. Currently, airlines like Lufthansa and British Airways operate this aircraft and it is among the most popular aircrafts in the world, thanks to the legacy of 747 series. © Controller Right now it remains unclear as to why the Royal Family is open to selling this crown jewel, the other 747-8 in their fleet is a lot more subtle from the outside though. Keep in mind, even though there are numerous pictures available online about the interiors, there are still many features and additions on board the aircraft that are not meant for everyone's eyes. © Controller The Qatar Amiri Fleet also includes a three widebody Airbus A340s and two A330s. For more routine and short turnaround work, it has around eight narrow-body A320s as well as a single A310. Basically yes, the Royal Family has its own mini airline that is waiting round the clock for them. © Controller It's unclear who the new buyer will be, or whether there will be one in the first place. Business Jets are a huge liability, and the 747-8 burns fuel and requires maintenance like a monster. In fact, the American President is also going to get a new aircraft, often referred to as the "Air Force One", and its obviously going to be a heavily customized Boeing 747-8. If you're actually thinking of getting one, the Qatar Royal Family is also looking to sell its 40-year-old Boeing 747SP for a considerably lesser US$ 9.5 million. Source: The Guardian -

The Most Expensive Parking Spot In The World Costs A Million Dollars & It's Time To Move To Mars
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
If you live in a metropolitan city, be it anywhere in the world, you know all too well the woes of finding a good parking spot. Finding the G-spot is easier perhaps. Road rage in third world cities is being replaced by parking rage. Neighbours bickering over dripping clothes in their balconies is a thing of the past; these days the only fights are over parking. © Pexels Buying a house is easier than buying a parking spot it seems. We never thought we'd be saying this but the most expensive parking spot in the world costs a whopping one million dollars. The city is New York and the area is Manhattan, one of the most populated spaces in the city. There are 10 parking spots in a luxury condo built by 42 Crosby St. in Manhattan's posh Soho district, and the price of each of the parking spots (that houses a single car) is one million dollar. That's over Rs 6.8 crore. © Twitter/Gerard Baker Ironically, the per square foot cost of the apartments they come with is cheaper. The cheapest apartment is priced at $3,140 per square foot while the parking space below is at $5,000 per square foot. Yep, think twice before buying a second car. The spot is for lifetime and parks a single car. It really is an insane amount to pay for a parking. There is another building in the Hudson Square district in New York that has set the price of parking spots at one million dollars. The building at 15 Renwick St. has 3 parking spots priced at $1 million dollar along that come with the 2 penthouses priced at $7 million and $11 million. Of course, this is the price of the most expensive parking spot in the world and these are luxury spaces meant for the well-heeled who's who of the world. But if you thought this is just a first world phenomena, let us tell you a parking spot in Hong Kong was sold for $760,000, and another for $664,260. And these parking spaces were much smaller (over 150 sq. feet) than the ones in Manhattan. -
