The electric car maker has propelled its founder Elon Musk to the very top of the financial food chain, with the richest man on the planet having a net worth over US$300 billion. But the success of his company wouldn’t be possible without those who believed in it in its early days – and among those is fellow billionaire Leo Koguan, who claims to be Tesla’s third-biggest individual shareholder.

This week, producer Andy Cohen announced the network’s The Real Housewives of Dubai, and while the cast has not yet been confirmed, a few names have started circulating on social media – with TV star and ultra-glam Dubai socialite Caroline Stanbury leading the pack.

After a legendary and unprecedented career, Filipino boxing icon Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao has finally and officially retired from boxing. This follows a final bout in which the 42-year-old legend failed to snatch the WBA welterweight title from Yordenis Ugas, on August 21 in Las Vegas, Nevada. As the only eight-division world champion in boxing history, Pacquiao has had plenty of memorable fights and has... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3152013/how-rich-manny-pacquiao-filipino-boxer-just-retired-and?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3152013/how-rich-manny-pacquiao-filipino-boxer-just-retired-and?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 12 Oct 2021 03:00:33 +0000 After what seems like ages, the third and likely final fight between WBC heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder is finally set to take place on October 9, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. While their first fight ended in a split decision, their second fight was a lopsided win for Fury which is why Wilder was quick to ask for a trilogy. Fury, who’s also the lineal heavyweight champion with 21 knock-outs to his name, is looking to end the rivalry for good. The two, however,... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3151535/tyson-fury-vs-deontay-wilder-who-has-most-luxurious?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3151535/tyson-fury-vs-deontay-wilder-who-has-most-luxurious?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 07 Oct 2021 17:00:23 +0000 Princess Diana and Michael Jackson may have come from vastly different backgrounds, but these two larger-than-life personalities actually had a lot in common: a fact that lead them to form a strong bond right at their first – and only – face-to-face meeting. In the span of roughly nine years, Diana and Jackson’s friendship grew into something remarkable, despite the fact that it was mostly over distance. Here’s how it unfolded … Why Princess Diana’s final resting place got a US$27 million... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3150009/inside-princess-diana-and-michael-jacksons-unlikely?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3150009/inside-princess-diana-and-michael-jacksons-unlikely?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 25 Sep 2021 19:00:22 +0000 The stereotypical picture of a successful businessman might be a well-heeled guy in a stylish suit taking calls from his Bluetooth earpiece. Christian “Bigboy” Cheng, however, is more likely to be spotted in a hoodie, sweatpants and trainers. But make no mistake, his everyday outfit probably costs more than your car. After all, he isn’t called the “Philippines’ sneaker king” for nothing. From Yeezys to Jordans to Balenciagas, Cheng has it all. He owns more than 700 pairs, and by current prices,... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3147699/how-did-bigboy-cheng-build-us1-million-trainer-collection?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3147699/how-did-bigboy-cheng-build-us1-million-trainer-collection?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 06 Sep 2021 05:41:34 +0000 Most of us have probably dreamt of becoming kings and queens, at least at some point in our lives. While this will almost certainly remain a dream for everyone except for the lucky Meghan Markles of the world, it doesn’t mean we can’t have a taste of it. In fact, we can even sleep like royalty, albeit for a limited time and a handsome price.

Zigzagging through gridlocked cars, buses and trucks, more than 86,000 motorcycles pass along this 23km (14-mile) stretch of road in the country’s capital every day. They represent a small fraction of the more than 18 million two-wheelers on the country’s roads. It was not always like this.
