?When a Russian Gives You an Advice, It Sounds Like a Threat?: Brooklyn Nets? $13.5 Billion Worth Ex-Owner Left American TV Show Host and the Fans Speechless

A couple of years back, the comedian-cum-television host Stephen Colbert interviewed the former owner of the Brooklyn Nets, having a net worth of $13.5 billion. During the interview, the billionaire gave some advice to Colbert that left him speechless. Not only the TV host but even the fans were astounded once they came across his speech.

Colbert interviewed quite a lot of notable people over the years. However, the aforementioned interview with the former Nets owner, Mikhail Prokhorov was seemingly a bit different.

Mikhail Prokhorov left Stephen Colbert speechless with his advice

In a 2017 interview, Colbert asked Prokhorov what things to own if one is super-rich. In addition to that, he asked whether he owns a yacht. In reply, the billionaire said, “Just a piece of advice for you, Steve, don’t be attached to things. Be free.” Moreover, he added that he has a yacht but he doesn’t know where the heck it is. This in turn surprised the tv host a little and made him say that’s the reason why we can’t have nice things.

Subsequently, Colbert asked whether he owned a sports team. The billionaire replied, “Only Brooklyn Nets.” This, in turn, made the tv host mimic the billionaire’s accent and jokingly call the Brooklyn Nets ‘Brooklyn Niets’.
