Oh and for fun, Lynsi is a professional drag racer. That's what I'm talking about. Then there's the story of 30 year old Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin who lives in Singapore with an posse of beauty queen girlfriends and keeps a $5,000 VIP table at his favorite club open at all times, in case he feels like stopping by.
