A 57-year-old Filipina, who arrived in Dubai 16 years ago on a visit visa, worked as a cleaner for a French couple in Umm Suqeim. Now, Maria Paz Banaag-Marquez — known as ‘Nanay Paz' in the community — owns and runs four pastry shops across the UAE. Nanay Paz's first shop in Dubai's Satwa was small but easy to spot because of the long queues that spilled out of its doors, especially around Christmas and New Year. Her cheesecake has become the subject of numerous TikTok videos, highlighting how the Dh13 solo tub and the Dh55 round cake are worth the drive wherever you are in the UAE. “Who would have thought I could put up a business in a foreign land? That would...

Kim Kardashian’s former Beverly Hills starter home is back on the market asking $5.09 million — far less than its $5.5 million ask in 2017. This is where the reality star-preneur lived with Kris Humphries during their ill-fated marriage in 2011; she famously filed for divorce after a mere 72 days as husband and wife. Kardashian bought the gated home at 3145 Abington Drive for $3.4 million in 2010, then sold it two years later for $3.6 million, according to property records.

A Beverly Hills megamansion that singer Mariah Carey once rented hit the market Monday asking $31.99 million. The 15,000-square-foot residence, inspired by a mashup of European architectural styles from Baroque to Louis XV, is located on a 0.6-acre lot on Laurel Way.   The three-story home includes eight bedrooms, and an entryway that features a 30-foot rotunda and not one, but two imposing double stairways, one outdoors and one indoors. It was built by a Russian couple who immigrated in the 1970s, and set about building their dream home, much to their neighbors’ consternation.   “I used all of what Europe has to offer,” Natalie Glosman, whose husband...

Grant Cardone, a popular motivational speaker, social media influencer and real estate investor, recently sparked controversy with his remarks on income levels. In a YouTube short titled "Earning $400,000 a Year is Embarrassing," Cardone boldly claimed, "If I made $400 grand a year, I would be embarrassed with myself as a husband, a father, basically as a human being. $400 grand. How do you make sense of $35,000 a month? You guys haven't done the math. You have not done the math because you cannot live on $400 grand a year." Cardone's statement contrasts sharply with the reality of most Americans' financial situations. In some states, $400,000 puts you close to the top 1% of earners,...

  In a twist of fate that seems almost cinematic, one of India's once-wealthiest tycoons has faced a dramatic downfall. Bavaguthu Raghuram Shetty, known as BR Shetty, was once a symbol of grandeur with a net worth of Rs 18,000 crore. He owned private jets, multiple floors in the Burj Khalifa, and a collection of luxury cars. However, this wealth was dramatically erased as he was forced to sell his Rs 12,400 crore company for a mere Rs 74. Shetty’s journey began humbly in 1973 when he moved from Karnataka to Abu Dhabi with just Rs 665 in his pocket. Initially working as a pharmaceutical salesman, Shetty's fortunes changed in 1975 when he established the New Medical Centre...
