Billionaire's Ball Brings Record Haul
Billionaire John Caudwell is famous for his habit of hiring famous singers to entertain his friends and family but he's also been known to put that energy toward a good cause, his own children's charity. His annual Butterfly Ball for Caudwell Children attracted UK celebrities and brought in a record £1.7 million, pretty impressive in a down economy. The total was £300,000 over last year's haul.
Rod Stewart performed at the event that was also attended by Elizabeth Hurley, Rachel Stevens and Bruce Forsythe. Wealth Bulletin has a quote from John Caudwell, shown above at the event with his girlfriend Claire Johnson. Caudwell said, "It is heart-warming to see that despite the current economic climate people are still prepared to help the less fortunate."
