    Just after hearing this on the Ray Darcy show this morning. Jordan is after claiming that she is very close to becoming a billionaire? Can big tits and blond hair really make you this much money? She claims that that she has amassed all the money from royalties as well as tacit interviews over the years.

    Behind the 'big tits and blond hair' is a very intelligent business woman who knows well what shes at, I doubt shes a billionaire but I'd say shes very close.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 999 ✭✭✭Noelie


    perhaps she thinks 10 million is a billion? there is no way in hell she is a billionaire or anywhere close to becoming one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,584 ✭✭✭c - 13


    Yes its possble -
    Autobiography x 2
    Interviews
    Didnt she sell the photography rights to her wedding ?
    Is she getting any revenue from her porn video ?
    TV Spots etc. - The list goes on

    All of it adds up so TBH I guess its possible. I dont even know why I just bothered to type this cos I cant stand the bitch


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,951 ✭✭✭L5


    no way is she even 1/10th of a billionaire. 1,000 million. Not a hope.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    I blame the stupid people of the world, for making people like this scumbag famous. Famous for what? Nothing, but that doesn't matter. People like her and Victoria Beckham. Bloody ridiculous. Famous for being famous, and they're not talented or even attractive.

    There is not a notion that she is anywhere near being a billionaire.
    Shes well off, But I wouldnt put her fortune any higher than 50 million.
    Yeah, shes sold rights, pics interviews etc.
    Theres no way a celebrity could become a billionaire on two book deals, some wedding pics, interviews and the like.
    The Beckhams have been around longer and one gets paid massive amount of money for football while the other has her own fashion line yet I doubt they would even be worth 200 million.

    Unless Jordan has invested all her money into youtube or some similiar investment vehicle then theres no way she is worth anything close to a billion.

    sounds like someone's jealous ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 999 ✭✭✭Noelie


    I think Paul McCartney, is one of the few Celebs to be worth a Billion, I don't even think Madonna is one and think how much longer she has been making money that Jordan.

    People who even think Jordan is a billionaire make me laugh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,634 ✭✭✭Kolodny


    Why would someone who has claimed her children have been the target of kidnap plots want to boast about how much money they have? Strange...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,143 ✭✭✭flanzer


    Ah poor Jordan.....some of that silicone has obviously leaked up to the brain!

    Well TBH i thought the thread said Millionaire. Billionaire = €1,000,000,000 so no. I guess thats not possible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭SoundWave


    maybe she just said... i just got a brazillian.....



    not a billion...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 460 ✭✭Lurk


    She didn't say she was a billionaire. In an interview with Elle magazine, the interviewer asked her whether her growing fortune could see her become a self-made billionaire, and she replied: “Oh, I’m not far off now. Believe me, I know where every penny is, and I’m not far off. Never underestimate the Pricey.”

    I'd say she's loaded alright, but I wouldn't envy her because of all the flack she gets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭nogoodnamesleft


    Personally I recon its just her way of generating publicity with a headline like as we havent really heard much from her in a while.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Maybe she has a joint bank account with Peter. I believe Mysterious Girl is still selling well in Guam and Pakistan...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,039 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori


    I would believe she is very very comfortable alright, but just think for a moment how much money 1Billion is. I can't for a second think that she's even close to that, but a millionaire many times over, indeed.

    She's in a different magazine every week/fortnight, without fail - all paid, I'd assume (she's hardly splashing her life around for the sh*t and giggles). She's done hundreds of interviews, has two "autobiographies", a fictional book (I hope it was ghost-written), an entire hour long documentary on her life... She knows what she's doing. Like her or not, she's shrewd - she's doing it the GWB way. Make them think you're stupid, and you can do anything.

    Robbie Fowler, according to The Sunday Times, is the wealthiest footballer in Britain. He has never earned the top salaries you see today and is hardly a marketable personality. He was given a financial advisor when he joined Liverpool and his property portfolio is immense.

    The simple fact is that looks sell. Jordan has been an extremely marketable personality over the last ten years at least. In that ten years property and investment yileds have far surpassed expectations so if she has had a bit of luck, a good financial advisor and a cheap plastic surgeon then is her portfolio of assets (no pun intented) in nearing a billion then I'm not surprised at all.

    Maybe she's talking about an American billion? i.e. 100 million. It's quite possible she could be worth nearly that if she'd invested wisely over the decade or so she's been in the public eye.

    I remember our business teacher telling us that back in the day alright. Is there anyone who would qualify as a "real" billionaire? Even Bill Gates doesnt have that much.

    Actually, behind the big tits is a massive intelligent PR team who tell her when and how to pimp herself. She makes the money because she'll oblige no matter how low the publicity. I've heard a few women say this now, but Jordan is not a clever businesswoman, she just has a lot of intelligent businesspeople telling her what to do.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,571 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    I imagine alot of her PR earnings are invested in property, stocks etc., so with a good business team behind her to help with investments, she could very well be worth many millions (I doubt its a billion though).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭nogoodnamesleft


    How the f**k could she write 2 autobiographies thou? Wouldnt she just be repeating herself!

    Jordan is just a "product" and there are plenty of shewd business men around that are going to exploit her for their own monetry gains and they are going to take most of the profit not her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,417 ✭✭✭griffdaddy


    it's still not gonna bring her kids eyesight back though:D

    Well just googled it and found this
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3537241.stm
    it all depends on what curreny your talking about also.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,521 ✭✭✭Fabritzo


    Billionaire is Oprah territory, are there any Billionaires in Britain?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    I can't even picture how rich Richard Branson is. JK Rowling is surely rolling in it by now too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 999 ✭✭✭Noelie


    This only does UK and Ireland http://business.timesonline.co.uk/section/0,,20590,00.html

    The Women's list goes down to 35 million and guess what no Jordan.

    Branson - 3 Billion
    Rowling - 0.5 Billion


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    lol, I very very much doubt shes made anywhere near a billion. I'd say shes even got less than 100 million.
    Sure she may have made some cash whoring herself to different magazines over the last few years, but realistically how much do you think they're paying her?
    And how many copies of her "book" do you really think she sold?Sure enough she may have some good investments, but nothing that'd push her wealth up to those extremes.

    Funny how a talentless little tart could make such money anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,956 ✭✭✭layke


    Are we talking an American Billion or a European Billion?

    There's a big difference.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_differences
    There was also a historical difference between billions, trillions, and so forth. Americans use "billion" to mean one thousand million (1,000,000,000), whereas in the UK, until the latter part of the 20th century, it was used to mean one million million (1,000,000,000,000) (although historically such numbers were not often required outside of mathematical and scientific contexts). One thousand million was sometimes described as a "milliard", the definition adopted by most other European languages. However, the "American" version has since been adopted for all published writing, and the word "milliard" is obsolete in English, as are billiard (but not billiards, the game), trilliard and so on. All major British publications and broadcasters, including the BBC, which long used "thousand million" to avoid ambiguity, now use "billion" to mean thousand million

    I know Wikipedia can be unreliable but in this case it's spot on. Also I agree, she would have to have major investments in other profitable avenues to accumulate that kind of cash.

    Not a chance! Pigheads not having that. Shes a failed Eurovision entrant for fcuks sake. The dizzy bint is most definitely adding a couple of Zero's to her personal fortune.

    Not only is she a liar but she's a slapper too. A recent survey of Premiership footballers asked if they would sleep with Jordan.
    Eighty-six per cent replied: Never again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,658 ✭✭✭✭The Sweeper


    And yet here we are, all talking about her... Who's Googled her since reading this thread?

    Pighead has! And not for the first time either.

    And you'd be wrong, but that isn't going to stop you from presuming things again, is it?

    I wouldn't want to be famous, I value my privacy and it isn't something that interests me at all, but I can still think it's annoying that dumb people buy magazines with other dumb people on the cover, who are only famous for being famous (not for any talent or achievement that is to be admired).
