Mikhail Prokhorov: From Russia With Cash
Mikhail Prokhorov steps off his Gulfstream V into the swirling snow and subzero temperatures of Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, where he’s come to visit his gold mine. Though it’s almost midnight, Prokhorov has no interest in retiring to his hotel room. Instead, he’s whisked away in a police-escorted Mercedes to the local gym, where he puts in two hours running on a treadmill and lifting weights. Even in the depths of Siberia, Prokhorov’s mind wanders thousands of miles away to Brooklyn, New York, where he plans to install his new trophy asset: the New Jersey Nets basketball team.
