Philip Green Breaks the Bank

philip green

We might just have to dub British entrepreneur Philip Green "Luxist of the Week."  We don't have that category yet but if we did he would easily own it.  Mr. Green first came to our attention  when we heard that he won so much at the casino, Les Ambassadeurs, that he contributed to the casino's profit warning.  Mr. Green has a taste for roulette and won two million pounds in one night and racked up significant totals on other evenings.  How does a man like Mr. Green celebrate?  With more aquisitions of course.  It was announced today that Green has purchased the U.K.'s  Etam brand of stores.  Green, who owns a Gulfstream jet and a massive yacht is definitely a work-hard, play-hard kind of guy.
