JIM ROGERS
Chairman of Rogers Holdings Inc and globetrotter
Your idea of perfect happiness?
The freedom to do as I please. And revelling in any success of my daughters. I have cried from joy because of them, more than I have cried in my entire life.
Your greatest fear?
Collapse of the world as we know it, which will happen in my children’s lifetime. I hope I am here to help them.
Greatest extravagance?
My daughters. I even joined the Justin Bieber Fan Club when no one else would so they could get tickets.
What do you consider the most overrated virtue?
US education.
Who would you want to be reincarnated as?
The Monkey King.
Which phrase do you most overuse?
“You must get more sleep.”
Your most marked characteristic?
Perseverance.
What do you most value in your friends?
Independent brains.
Which historical figure do you most identify with?
Marco Polo.
The funniest thing to happen in your childhood?
Growing up in Demopolis, Alabama, where my phone number was 5, as the eldest of five boys.
Who would you like to bring to the Prestige Ball?
Belle. If Disney won’t give her the night off, I’d take Paige Parker.
How would you inject more life into Singapore’s social scene?
More immigrants.
The superpower you want?
Invisibility, so I can easily figure out what is really going on.
The craziest thing you’ve done for your kids?
Attended a Taylor Swift concert — twice!
