Legendary martial arts movie icon Jackie Chan just bought a new private jet to add to his collection.

Chan is the first Chinese customer to take delivery of the new, state-of-the-art Embraer Legacy 500 Business Jet, which is priced in the catalog at $20 million.
Chan is actually a brand ambassador for the Brazil-based Embraer Aerospace, one of the largest commercial, private and military airplane makers in the world.

The 500 is Chan’s second jet — in 2012, he bought a Embraer Legacy 650 and slapped a dragon-themed paint job on it.
Chan said in a statement:
“I’m so thrilled to receive this Legacy 500, a state-of-the-art executive jet. In the past few years, my Legacy 650 has brought me fantastic traveling experiences and great convenience, allowing me to do more acting and philanthropic works around the world. I’m sure that the performance of the new Legacy 500 will again exceed my expectations, and become a comfortable mobile home and office for me.”

The Embraer 500 can travel up to 3,600 miles and is powered by two Honeywell HTF75000E turbofan engines that produce 7,000 pounds of thrust each — sounds legit.
The jet can hold up to 12 people, but most customers equip their jets for only 8 to make it more spacious.
The 500 can reach a maximum speed of .83 times the speed of sound and fly at an altitude of 45,000 feet.
Here’s another cool feature: the jet can pressurize the cabin at an altitude of 6,000 feet. Commercial airliners usually pressurize their cabins to an altitude of 8,000 feet, meaning Chan can literally breathe a little easier in his new jet.
The jet can be equipped with put-together beds, a bathroom in the back and a kitchen in the front.
Customers also get a choice between sharp contrasting interior trims or something softer.
Chan went with a relaxing light-colored wood interior.

Of course, the jet comes with premium leather chairs stuffed with gadgets and controls.
Nearly everything in the jet can be controlled by hidden touch screen remotes.
Much like other jets, you can also control comfort settings on your iPhone or iPad.
The jet is also equipped with a hi-def entertainment system and Wi-Fi.
There are also two 19-inch HD monitors on the wall and up to nine personal displays at each seat.

Even the pilots get a fancy, high-tech cockpit with a heads-up-display (HUD) and instead of the normal yokes to control the jet, the new design gives them joysticks on the side.
Sometimes even kung-fu masters have to jet around in style.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mr. Riley was already there when they arrived, sitting on the sand, eyes closed in a deep meditation. He was shirtless, wearing camouflage-patterned shorts similar to the ones The Spellbinder styled the day he appeared on the beach and a pair of rubber diving booties with smiley face emojis scattered over them. You would have been more than amused if you saw him in them. An assistant rushed out of the billionaire’s home the instant he raised a hand toward the heavens, displaying the universal victory sign.

THE CROWN YOU CARRY: A Letter to My LOVELY Daughter FROM THE HEART OF A MOTHER

My Dearest Daughter, As the sun rises over the hills of Limuru, casting golden rays upon the dew-kissed tea leaves, my heart swells with pride, hope, and the wisdom only a mother can carry. You, my beautiful girl, are in school, and while the world sees a student in uniform, I see a queen in the making. I see the grace of your grandmother, the fire of your ancestors, and the promise of a bright African dawn glowing in your eyes. This Easter, God granted me the sweet joy of bonding with you—not just as a mother—but as a woman who has walked a little further on this winding road of life. You may not know it yet, but in those laughter-filled mornings and quiet evening chats, a legacy was passed on: not of gold or silver, but of values, vision, and virtue. Let me speak to your soul now, daughter of mine. Listen with your spirit. In this life, my sweet child, “a child who does not listen to the mother’s advice will sleep with the flies” — a Ghanaian proverb as old as wisdom itself. The worl...
