Ruth Parasol in Adult Biz??
 

This lady is a millionaire and she started out in the adult business. So the question is, anyone had the chance to party with her or do business with her "before" she got stinky rich??

Involvement in the adult entertainment industry

In 1994, Parasol went on to start her own phone sex and online adult entertainment businesses from which she sold-out in 1996.

Ruth Parasol and Seth Warshavsky invested millions of dollars in phone porn companies that were sued by North Carolina and Nevada authorities for alleged improper billing and collection practices that included threatening to seize a person's property.

Warshavsky was a protege of Seattle phone sex entrepreneur Ian Eisenberg, who was advised by attorney and phone sex business veteran Parasol. Eisenberg mailed "rebate" checks for $3.50 to millions of households. The fine print on the checks stated that by cashing the check, the recipient agreed to pay up to $29.95 for Internet service. Subsequently, the FTC filed charges, and Eisenberg and company were ordered to pay $17 million in restitution.[2]

Parasol was a fixture at adult entertainment industry gatherings until 1999.


Involvement in the gaming industry

In 1997, Parasol launched Starluck Casino Online in the Caribbean and in 1998 met and partnered with software engineer, Anurag Dikshit. At the time, she made Dikshit a partner in her online casino business, and in turn Anurag made Parasol a partner in his IT services business in India. Parasol's expertise is electronic payment processing, website content management, online gaming regulations and international taxation.

In 2001, they launched PartyPoker.com and PartyGaming grew dramatically to over $500 million in annual profits by 2005. In June 2005, PartyGaming Plc floated on the London Stock Exchange and in September was admitted to the FTSE 100 list of companies. In October 2006, PartyGaming pulled out of the US market leading to a 60% drop in its value and speculation in newspapers that the company would exit the FTSE 100.

Ruth Parasol and Russ DeLeon were married in California in 2003. Since January 2004, they have lived in Gibraltar where they now have three children. [3]

What program did she run? :winkwink:

She is not a millionaire --she is a Billionaire.

:)

I know, made a mistake.

:thumbsup

Actually......... since PartyGaming pulled out of the US market the share price crashed and the company is worth a fraction of what it was at its peak (maybe just 25% of what it was).

Therefore, Ruth may no longer be a billionaire on paper like she was before.

Im no expert but i reckon she is probably just a multi-millionaire worth hundreds of millions (but not a billion).

Dikshit??? Are you fucking serious?? :1orglaugh

You may laugh but the dude was a billionaire himself.... must be worth a few hundred million still though.

I wonder how much it would cost to have your name changed...something to look into while enjoying those hundreds of millions of dollars. Or maybe he prefers the poop chute...dikshit/shitdik.
