http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akio_Kashiwagi

"Kashiwagi owned a home and office in Tokyo, out of which he ran the Kashiwagi Shoji Company. He stated that he was the sole principal of his real estate and investment business. He claimed an income of a hundred million dollars a year, and a billion dollars in assets. His finances were so secretive that a credit review for casino officials declared his profession only as 'business'."

"Kashiwagi regularly played baccarat for large sums, betting 100,000 or 200,000 dollars a hand, for hours at a time. He later got into a legal wrangle with Donald Trump's Atlantic City casino in 1990 over a deal in which Kashiwagi was to bet $12 million. Kashiwagi left the casino with two million dollars in chips, having lost ten million. He claimed the casino had failed to hold up its end of the deal."

"On January 3, 1992, Kashiwagi was killed, stabbed as many as 150 times with a samurai sword. His body was discovered in his home in Japan near Mount Fuji.[1] At the time of his death, Akio still had casino debts in the millions of dollars."

I'm guessing he wasn't the one who bought the apartment

Those are small figures based on what my mate was telling me... Obviously no idea if their true, but the numbers are obscene
