I work with a few Russian commodity traders who, while don't have near Prokhorav type money, do have a nice chunk of money. More than anything, the one thing all of those guys have in common is that they talk a ton of crap... and have a tendency to tell a lot of very tall tales. They do lots of stuff to brag on themselves and are pretty cocky but if you ask them, they'll tell you half of what they say is bull****. That's Prokorav to a T. I guarantee you he uses his yacht pretty often still.
I guess what I'm trying to say is something with Russians, they tend to want to have Paul Bunyan like auras about themselves probably more than most other cultures for some reason. Because of that, a lot of them will stretch truths or say things that just aren't true or do things like bring 20 women into a party to flex nuts. The Russian culture itself is very unindividualistic unlike the US... so they have a tendency to go a little nuts when they get some power and start to become recognized individually... it'll completely shock me if he actually only attends 10 games a year like he says he plans to.
