From NY1:The mayor had a power-packed breakfast this morning, hosting the major players behind the Atlantic Yards development project at Gracie Mansion.
Bagels were on the menu for this morning's breakfast meeting between Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Nets majority owner Mikhail Prokhorov, arena developer Bruce Ratner and Nets co-owner Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter.
Prokhorov is in the city this week to take park in the NBA draft, after closing on a deal last week to buy 80 percent of the Nets and 40 percent of the arena, which will be called the Barclay Center. The arena is now under construction at the former site of the Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn.
The Net's owner is making basketball history with his purchase of the team, as it is the first time there's an NBA team owner from outside of North America.

Yes, we have billionaires here in america, and they eat breakfast. I hope I'm one of them someday. What's the point of this article-- some attempt to make the word "billionaire" a slur?
I guess you missed whole Atlantic Yards eminent domain controversy.
Go back to sleep, anonymous.
This was a photo op, not just a breakfast. Meant to be proof to the world that bullies with money always get their way. Amazing that some people just don't get it.
No the first poster is merely responding the bullshit conditioning we all get in the media.
Do YOU WANT to be a millionare?

So this is how the charter revision will be handled?
Damn!
"We have billionaires in america [sic]. . .I hope I'm one of them someday."
Money can be a headache. Consider living a simple life. The key to contentment, some say, is to live beneath your means.

Bagels!? Whoa Mike, don't charm the pants off 'em. Hopefully you served low-fat Temptee instead of real butter.
