I'm Such A Billionaire:
This past week, Forbes came out with its billionaire list and BoDog.com founder Calvin Ayre, who was on the cover last year, disappeared from the list. Forbes said that the recent gambling crackdown had resulted in the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars -- thus booting Ayre off the list. Some people prefer to keep quiet, but Ayre wasn't too happy with the analysis. He told Gambling911.com that Forbes' report is "hogwash" and that, the joke was, he's richer than they said he was last year. "With Bodog.com being private, it's hard to believe that Forbes can have any real information on our organization other than our own press they read," Ayre told the gambling site. "This year, we've experienced strong growth across all our business channels, including gaming and are, in fact, more profitable than last year. My personal net worth has gone up by about 60 percent. I felt the valuation presented by Forbes last year was too low." Forbes valued Ayre at $1 billion last year.
