A Russian oil baron who had six children – all girls – began to despair because he had no son and heir. Imagine his joy when one of his wives finally presented him with a son. Just before the boy's sixth birthday, the baron took him to one side and said: "Son, I am very proud of you. Anything you want, I shall get for you." The son replied: "Daddy, I would like to have my own airplane." Not wanting to do anything by halves, his father bought him United Airlines. Just before his son's seventh birthday, the baron took him to one side. "Son, you are my pride and joy. Anything you want, I shall get for you." The son replied: "Daddy, I would like a boat." Since only the best was good enough, his father bought him Princess Cruise Lines. Just before his son's eighth birthday, the baron took him to one side. "Son, you bring so much happiness into my life. Anything you want, I shall get for you." The son replied: "Daddy, I would like to be able to watch cartoons." Not wanting to look a cheapskate, his father bought him Disney Studios and their theatres, where the boy watched all his favourite cartoons. Just before his son's ninth birthday, the baron took him to one side. "Son, you are an inspiration to us all. Anything you want, I shall get for you." The son, who by now was really into the Disney cartoons, replied: "Daddy, I would like a Mickey Mouse outfit." Not wishing to appear mean with his money, his father bought him Chelsea Football Club.
