    Luxury penthouse sells for record R15.9 million

    I am referring to all the southern suburbs, since that is what the article referred to: “This is a record sale of a penthouse in an apartment block in the Southern Suburbs“ Heh. Pretty sure that my building here has more on a smaller plot (70+ floors), but it’s bit out of place in the SS. A...

    Luxury penthouse sells for record R15.9 million

    I’m somewhat surprised that’s a price record. A lot of nice houses out that way, but I suppose relatively few nice flats.

    You probably didn't let them melt in the wendy house in the back yard.

    A tax revolt is underway in South Africa

    Was interested to see the effective tax comparison graphed. SA really gets you on those low incomes in comparison to other countries. Also, perhaps I Should move to Texas...

    Pretoria-born Seymour Papert co-developed the Logo programming language

    I had forgotten about the SA connection. Takes me back to ‘79 IIRC on an Apple II.

    One South African CEO making R272,000 a day, and Trump sells access to his tweets

    So close…

    The South African game studio that earned R172 million on Steam with its first game

    Looks like zero growth in 2 years, and only 4 developers.

    Does anyone still use LinkedIn?

    Gotta pay for premium (another poll?)

    The top CEO who gave up a R74 million job to leave South Africa

    Yeah, also about R20m of the pay mentioned was not recurring (exit payment and repayment for loss from losing prior company shares), so they would have just had to beat £2.5M.

    Have you ever flown Business Class or First Class?

    I have flown business/first within Europe a bunch of times too, and often it just means “the middle chair in the three row is empty/blocked off with a portable table” - most disappointing. I’ll usually try fly direct to the city I’m going and use the Eurostar, other train or driver to get about...

    The top CEO who gave up a R74 million job to leave South Africa

    He took a roll as CEO of BT Enterprise, so he probably left for more.

    Have you ever flown Business Class or First Class?

    I do about 2-3 international trips per year and about 2-3 domestic trips. All international are first (if available) or business, and domestic are all first. The company pays for my flights if there is a business purpose (which is about 2/3rds of them). My wife always accompanies me, though...

    The Personal Development & Financial Independence Thread

    I could easily have retired in my late 30’s, and sailed the world on a catamaran. I could have waved at my folks in their old age home instead of their comfortable sea side flat, or gone to visit my wife’s elderly family who would be crammed into a 1 bedroom flat in Ronderbosch East instead of...

    The Personal Development & Financial Independence Thread

    It probably makes sense for anyone to ask some elderly people if they followed something, and if it helped. IMO it really brushes over the various expenses/situations one encounters when one gets older, which really means that you need a lot more than what you spend in a typical month as a...
