The nation’s glitterati have rolled into the Russian capital for three days of luxury and entertainment at the “Millionaire Fair” extravaganza, which kicks off in Moscow on October 23.
As the saying goes, money won’t buy you happiness. But there’s a laundry list of things to buy that could possibly make you smile a little.
Cars, yachts, villas, jewelry – you name it! The “Millionaire Fair” has got them all – but as the event’s titles suggests, the prices bite!
Forget the crisis, the key words here are state-of-the-art, exclusive and over-the-top, as well as upscale.
If you don’t have the money, simply switch on your curiosity to find out how much one can spend at the “Millionaire Fair” in Moscow.
One of the highlights of the event is a performance by an ex-Sugababe, Mutya Buena, as well as extravagant fashion shows and gourmet delights from some of Russia’s best chefs.

Thanks RT for reporting what is going on. A lot of people may find this in bad taste, but you cannot pick and choose only the things that people like. People have a right to know what the rich people are doing with their winfall, like feeding the poor, paying their fair share of taxes etc.
Thanks R John. I am sure that exhibitionism of the wealthy exist in every society, but at least have the common sense to tone it down with so much hardship all around. Especially in a country that has witnessed how some became rich by plundering the public wealth, while others starved. What shocks me is RTVs apparent lack of understanding that such "news" need to be treated in a manner consistent with the overall mission of the media outfit, including Art and Fun forum.
People have a right to know... Sure, this is why National Inquirer exists. There are so many things we would like to know, and sometimes feel we have "the right". Yet, media is defined by the kind of customers it is trying to attract. And in this case, a little class is in order.
