Elton John´s Charity Ball hit a new record

Elton John’s  White Tie and Tiara Ball included many important guests this year, such as Tom Ford, David Walliams and model Lily Cole. £2.5 million were the amount raised last year for charity. The ball is in its 12th year and has raised £40 million since it started. Among the bidders were Richard Caring, Cyrus Vandrevala and John Caudwell.

Part of the donations will go to the Marie Curie Cancer Care Institution. Thomas Hughes-Hallett, its CEO believes: ¨It is never certain how an auction will go and when people like Richard Caring, Cyrus Vandrevala and John Caudwell step up to the plate it makes a huge difference to the sums raised and to the help given to those in need."

 

New business Indian elite in London

 Indian businessmen are steadily buying top-end residential property in London’s most exclusive neighbourhoods. One of the advantages of foreign investment is that it helps in the economic progress of the country. Cyrus Vandrevala is one of the people responsible for the recent financial and culture contribution in what it appears to be the New Mumbai; England.

Billionaire Cyrus Vandrevala, an equity investor, was one of only two people to buy a £10m-plus London property in December last year as the recession hurt ultra-high net worth buyers. He is part of the britains-bolligarchs boom. Hopefully these types of financial actions will lead to return in economic growth.

 

 

Promenade in London in aid of the Indian elephants

A wonderful herd of lifesize "elephants" have made their way onto the streets of London. To raise money, each of the elephants has been sponsored and will be auctioned. One of the most popular elephants is a white-coloured elephant beside an enormous bronze flower, also white, by the sculptor Mark Quinn, one of four elephants sponsored by the Indian private equity investor Cyrus Vandrevala and his wife, Priya.

The parade was launched in Trafalgar Square and sees over 260 brightly painted elephants located over central London, each decorated by a different artist or celebrity. The elephants will brighten and beautify the city in every park, street corner and building from May to July 2010. This is said to be London’s biggest outdoor art event on record. One of the patrons who made this possible was the equity investor Cyrus Vandrevala. He has also participated in Russian Midsummer Fantasy in aid of the Raisa Gorbechev Foundation, which fights childhood cancer.
