“The prince to marry the pauper? Well, not quite. Although a commoner, Kate Middleton’s finances – or at least those of her family – are what many a middle-class Brit would aspire to. Her parents Carole and Michael have built up a comfortable cash pile from a successful online party business, Party Pieces – established in 1987. It is a mail order business that aims to help parents create ‘magical’ parties for their children at home. Party Pieces is run from a call centre, with eight staff, out of a barn near Reading in Berkshire. It also has a website which attracts around 150,000 potential customers a month…” (The Richest.com)

Ann Marie got it right. She $795 bet and finished with $1,595.

Greg though it was Mark Zuckerberg. (He married Priscilla Chan in May 2012). He lost $5,001, the same amount as Tim, but had $19,199 to win his third match with. His 3-day total is $79,800.
