As this week’s SuperEna lottery rolls over and presents us with a $115 million jackpot, one cannot help but ponder the various yachts one may acquire.. Why, you ask? Exactly! W.H.Y. – The Wally Hermes Yacht No – it’s not a mansion, it’s a yacht.. WHY (Wally-Hermes Yachts), a collaboration between esteemed Monaco-based yacht maker […]
2oceansvibe sponsor and South Africa’s largest online sportsbook, Great Odds, have set up a “CHARITY CHALLENGE .” It’s a pretty cool vibe. www.greatodds.com They’ve given a bunch of us R1,000 to be used for online sports betting. Any money made from that R1,000 will go to charity. I like that vibe. We need to get […]
It’s all getting a bit much with regards to the “optional extras” one can add to one’s superyacht. Just ask Chelsea Football Club owner, Roman Abramovich, whose costs for his new boat, Eclipse, have doubled in the last three years to a cool £724m. That’s R8.7 billion. For a boat. I have no doubt it […]
You only have a few more hours to buy tickets to tonight’s EuroMillions Superdraw Jackpot. For those of you who don’t know, Superdraws are the most exciting because they only have a few every year. They are even more special because the jackpot CANNOT rollover. If nobody gets the full winning numbers, they give the […]
There are a lot of “loyalty programmes” and “point systems” and “reward plans” and other kinds of “give back” crap schemes on offer out there. Most of them are a load of rubbish and very rarely amount to anything. Now listen carefully, because this could end up with you winning the most radical prizes you’ve […]
Not sure if you caught the recent press about one of the late Brett Kebble‘s old properties going under the hammer. The one in Bishopscourt . They had some pics in the paper, but none of the inside of the house. I thought I’d get those for you. Check out the outside shots and press […]
This, my friends is what they’ve conjured up to replace the F430. I call it the Ferrari 458 Italia. This one is powered by 562 free-range horses and 325km/h is what it does when it’s bored. The 0-100km/h dash records a time of under 3.4 seconds. that’s pretty quick. To give you an idea, that’s […]
Behindthescene published a scan from the newspaper of a Michael Jackson portrait by American painter, Andy Warhol. It seems as though it is going under the stop-hammer-time next month. Nogal in his Thriller jacket Huff reports: Andy Warhol’s Michael Jackson Portrait Back On Auction Block An Andy Warhol portrait of Michael Jackson […]
To actually believe in the concept of someone tapping diesel fuel from a rock is one thing, but to actually be conned into funding the person…. well, that’s just another story altogether. It happened to Rubert Mugabe’s government, funnily enough. You will not believe this! Actually, you probably will.. This, from News24: […]
I’d seriously consider reading this article – ESPECIALLY seeing as winning tickets for the local SA lottery are being declared invalid (here ). And even so, it’s not like the local SA lottery jackpots are big enough for YOU! We usually only chat about the Euro Millions lottery when it hits a billion Rand. But […]

Spare a thought for the guys that probably killed Michael Jackson – AEG Live – the company behind the ridiculously impossible upcoming lineup of 50 Michael Jackson Comeback concerts. Dubbed “This is it” – it seems it just might be for the company. Especially since they were hardly able to insure the ticket sales and […]
I don’t read a lot of books and when I do they usually have to be non-fiction and/or biographies. It takes a lot for me to pick one up on recommendation and, when I do get to that point, I usually don’t get past half way. I’m happy to say that this is not the […]
Manchester United centre back (“I’m bringing centre back, yeeeah!” – sorry..), Rio Ferdinand, seems intent on taking some attention away from his now ex-teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently hit the headlines for tapping Paris Hilton (here).

It was just yesterday that we brought you the incredibly important news that Paris Hilton was single (here).

You remember when I mentioned the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa and how it was up for auction? You don’t? Come on – remember I was telling you how it would be a good car to snap up if you won the lottery? You still don’t remember? That’s weird – have you tried ACTUALLY thinking […]

You know it’s pretty serious when Sky News report on a lottery rollover! Just last week we were raging (here) about the EuroMillions jackpot sitting at £82 million, which worked out to R1 billion. Well would you believe it, no-one won and the jackpot has rolled over for a SIXTH time! And now it’s sitting […]
Don’t know about you, but I just bought 5 lines for Friday’s Euromillions jackpot. I suggest you do the same. During a recession, why would you not? You know we don’t make a fuss about the EuroMillions lottery on 2oceansvibe unless it comes with a big jackpot. Well, this Friday is ANOTHER rollover with a […]
I don’t know too much about wine, to be quite honest. I drink wine that I think tastes good and that’s probably why I’ve settled for De Grendel wine. Quality stuff, easy drinking and affordable – with all the awards to boot (just in case there is a wine snob in the room!). The oldest […]

The Entrepreneur mentioned it to me and I immediately […]
The shot is taken 400m above the hole and the ball takes a 30 second flight to reach the green. It’s right here in South Africa and a hole in one will get you a cool R13 million. And yes, you do need a chopper to get to the tee. Piece of old tacky […]
F1 Ace, Jenson Button (or, as The Muse calls him, “Jenni Button”) got into a major row with Richard Branson before the inaugural 2009 Formula 1 race in Melbourne Australia a few weeks back. Branson, having just recently confirmed Virgin’s sponsorship of the Brawn F1 team, went out with the team after Button secured pole […]
Ok, just to bring you up to speed, Mel Gibson’s wife is filing for divorce and wants at LEAST half of his nearly $1 billion fortune. That would leave her with somewhere between five and ten billion Rand which, as you might have worked out, will be a new celebrity divorce record! William Wallace […]

Originally built by Codecasa for Giorgio Armani in 2003, I am very excited to announce that the yacht, Mariu, is for sale and has been discounted from €23.8 million to €19.95 million. That’s pretty much a 40 bar saving, in Rands. It’s a STEAL! Can you believe it?! Goodness, this recession really is producing some […]
