Put the couch over here. That will be a billion dollars, please.

Hey! Now I can see the TV set without a reflection from the window! You are a genius, feng shui man! I'll put you in my will. From Hong Kong via BBC:

Nina Wang, formerly Hong Kong's richest woman, has left her fortune to her feng shui adviser, her lawyer says.

Businessman Chan Chun-chuen, 48, was the sole beneficiary of the multi-billion-dollar estate, he said.

Ms Wang made the decision because Mr Chan understood her "personal philosophy", he said.

The announcement sets the stage for a possible court battle, amid reports of a second will in which Ms Wang promised her money to a charitable trust.

Ms Wang, who died on 3 April, is thought to have left an estate worth about $4.2bn (£2.1bn).
