BMF and Global Billions Club Quotes and Testimonials

"I would like to give my wholeheartedly gratitude to Mark Minevich for inviting me to his illustrious event of Billion Minds Foundation in Sept 2007 in Monaco and it was a real pleasure meeting such extraordinary personalities there. It was also a very interesting experience for me to be there independently, especially after many years living in a very protective wealthy environment with my adoptive Mother Countessa Regina Cavallaro "a luminous icon of wealth and humanity" but with the royale hospitality of Donatella de Filippo Campioni "a wonderful and kind personality" on her luxurious yacht and with the exceptional organizational abilities of Mark Minevich "a remarkable unique visionary" which made me feel absolutely comfortable in his presence and gave me so much courage, inspiration and my true respect and admiration for his way of brining peoples together and creating a global family towards doing good in this world, and I feel very proud and honour to be part of his global family and working very closely with him in his respectable foundation towards making the world a better place for generations to come and looking forward for more repetition of these kind of unforgettable, useful and splendid events in the future." - Honourable M.N. Al Sheikh FRSA, Founder and CEO of EuroGulf Holding

"GBC in Monte Carlo went extremely well beyond the wildest expectations. Mark brought together an incredibly cohesive group of the finest people who simply wanted the pleasure of letting their hairs down, learning and exchanging ideas about the challenges and opportunities at the cutting-edge of strategic and innovative thinking, and making friends in an environment of leisure, relaxation and warmth. Monte Carlo is the unique crossroads of the paradox of ordinary people wanting to be billionaires, and billionaires wanting to be ordinary people. The secret is that we are all ordinary people, each and every one of us, and we are happiest when we enjoy being able to be just that. The Monte Carlo GBC, which was the external test of the efficacy of the vision and mission of the Billion Minds Foundation, and of its appeal to the world, demonstrated beyond any doubt, the profound and profoundly simple quintessence of BMF as an organization created to push the envelop of the outer boundaries of the human mind and spirit to near realms. The idea of BMF, the idea of a concerted effort to make the world a better place, and to do so with leisure, pleasure, enthusiasm and dedication, was warmly embraced by everyone in attendance, to the credit of BMF." - Dr. Joseph Okpaku, President and CEO, The Telecom Africa Corporation
