Who would think that at 42 years young I would find an “Oligarch” who takes a liking to me. Granted I was a Playboy Model, but we all know that men with lots of money love very young girls. I am a late bloomer and my effective age is different than my real age. In Real Estate terms effective age (an estimate of a property age based on its current condition, rather than when it was built). I stated previously in my last article that I bumped into him and his significant others randomly at Papi Steak House in South Beach where he completely ignored me and I believed I would never hear from him.
It took about two weeks, and he ended up reaching out to me through Zelle & Paypal and invited me to come to South Florida (Feb 14-23, 2025) and spend some quality time. There was no I am sorry for ignoring your phone calls, or going MIA, just Zelle and PayPal which honestly was refreshing. I remembered that Mr. Oligarch told me he relocated to Miami when Vladimir Putin invaded war on Ukraine. He showed me pictures and his tight alliance with President Aleksandr Lukashenko of Belarus. We all know that Men from all over the world go to Russia, Ukraine & Belarus for the gorgeous woman. My Oligarch seemed very frustrated as he told me he can’t travel to often to Moscow and Ukraine because of the war. I joked with him and said, “well like our President Trump said, ‘American first & American Made’”. I was born in America & I speak Russian fluently, so we communicated smoothly at first or at least I thought so. I always was sad that my men from my culture especially the real successful ones liked to outsource their brides and felt that money & power should be going to someone like me especially that my relatives were killed in Holocaust. But the French says C’est La Vie, I even would question Rabbis and other family members/friends who outsourced and all I did was create enemies. Then as I evolved sexually and starting hitting my peak, I did not even want those men as I am attracted to 6’5 studs and most Jewish men are barely 5’11. There is a passage in the Bible that was said to me from one of my Christian Scholars friends The passage from Solomon “Everything has its own time “Ecclesiastes 3:1, There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens” so now it’s my season to have to have “The Oligarch Experience” with my 5’11 Russian Jewish man!
The one thing that came to me that my mother always told me is “Be careful what you pray for, you might just get it” and then I thought all these things….
1) Can I handle it? 2) How long will I be able to hold on for and Do I really want this?
I watch Russian Soap operas and various Russian tv channels and I do have knowledge and the one thing Russian Dating experts teach, is take while you can as these men are not stable and things change quickly day to day. Also, Don’t ask to many questions as Russian men of power don’t like answering to woman. To them they believe they don’t have to!
I have to say that my Oligarch was very generous with me, but for some reason we started to have communications problems as our relationship evolved. I like a program, and parameters. Mr. OLIGARCH found this very annoying and refused to answer me or meet me halfway. I got the message and did not care because money was unlimited and I did everything I dreamed of and more while I was in South Florida. I’m not going to lie, I loved it. The most bizarre part was I only saw him for no more than 2 hours as he had work endeavors.
I ended up going to Gulfstream Racetrack one day for a fun day of racing. I ended up meeting a big handsome fish in the world of Thoroughbred Racing, who brought me in the Winners circle for a horse named “ESPERANZITO”. It turns out this man is the owner of a Breeders Cup Classic winner “WHITE ABARRIO” and Eclipse Champions “Blind Luck & Dubai Majesty” Mark Cornett is a Very Handsome American Bred thoroughbred. I could communicate with Mark and had some nice racetrack talk. There has been no follow up with this connection yet, so who said verbal communication is key when Romance is involved with very wealthy men?
As I headed to the “South Beach Wine & Food Festival”, I ended up attending a fabulous super exclusive VIP Party at Faena Hotel for “Gerard Bertrand” Wines. I went with my friend Hope Gainer who is a Miami Based global luxury marketer and luxury property expert. She also is one of Miami’s top selling Real Estate Agents.
As soon as we walked into the party, we were greeted by her friend and fellow Miami based Real Estate Agent Mario Stocco. He was such a gentleman with us both and charmed us Italian style. Then I met the owner of the company Gerard Bertrand. What a Gem! Very handsome 6’5 Bred in France, and very striking Thoroughbred. The music, food and alcohol was superb. However, what I liked the most is when handsome wealthy men act like real gentleman. Even though both Mario & Gerard are married they made me feel like a real lady!
The movie Anora who won best picture really did an accurate portrayal of the lifestyle and mentality of “Oligarchs”. By definition, an “Oligarch” A very rich business leader with a great deal of political influence particularly with reference to individuals who benefited from the privatization of state run industries after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
I have to say that I really enjoy dating an “Oligarch” as I don’t feel that I am wasting my time. It’s fun, productive and empowering. I am a California Bred Filly, but I never understood the collegiate dating, religious dating or even professional dating on the California Circuit. Meaning a majority of men in Southern California expect woman to pay half and there is no accouterments or chivalry. They used to call me Josie Gold Digger Goldberg because I never understood nor accepted “Netflix & Chill”. When I was in those environments I would get so sad, and develop depression. I don’t know if its Nature Vs Nurture, but I come from the Russian Jewish people and prefer my ancestry mentality of dating Russian Style. It’s been only 3 months with my Oligarch so we will see how our relationship develops further but as for now “I am Only Josie Knows” and I am doing me to the best of my ability and I am LOVING IT!!!
