Brunei King He owns 7000 cars, a gold toilet, gold gilded car... flies his own Boeing. Another great example why the planet should be debillionairized.

There are nine hotels in the U.S. and Europe with ties to the sultan of Brunei that are facing a boycott, thankfully. George Clooney and Elton John are just some of the celebrities that have been vocal in attacking the hotels.In case you have not been following the news Brunei will start April 3 to follow Islamic criminal laws to punish gay sex by stoning offenders to death. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah rules the oil-rich monarchy with full executive authority, and the hotels are owned by the Brunei Investment Agency.Clooney hits the nail on the head:

". you can't shame "murderous regimes," but you can shame "the banks, the financiers and the institutions that do business with them."

The hotels:

The Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills
Hotel Bel-Air, Los Angeles
The Dorchester, London
45 Park Lane, London
Coworth Park, U.K.
Le Meurice, Paris
Hotel Plaza Athenee, Paris
Hotel Eden, Rome
Hotel Principe di Savoia, Milan

"Rob Kall gives readers an important wake up call to the bottom up power that they have to protect their rights, powers, and freedoms. His advice applies to all aspects of life, including politics, economics, journalism, entertainment, and psychology and wellness. Kall's book explains the differences between the top-down leadership approach of dominating, fear based, disconnected authoritarianism and the bottom-up connection consciousness that emphasizes values, justice, fairness, equity, and kindness. This book helps readers see the whole elephant as opposed to the disconnected parts. Kall gives great advice as to intensifying, expanding, prolonging, and deepening connections. With his professional background, Rob Kall is the perfect person to write this book. This is a very well-researched book that includes dozens of insightful interviews with top-notch experts. Kall shows how bottom-up small acts can produce massive results. He emphasizes that since we cant avoid this emerging bottom-up connection revolution, we need to learn how to navigate and embrace it. This bottom-up leadership will result in power to the people. This is a fascinating and insightful book, especially in this new era of digital hunting and gathering."
