Talk:Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken

Surname
Interesting that she has a very common Portuguese surname - Carvalho. She's descendent of Portuguese, probably Sephardy Jews. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.21.177.217 (talk) 11:10, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Not at all! "She" (Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken) has her name from her husband, Michel de Carvalho (* Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire 21.07.1944), one of London's best-known investment banker (vicepresident of Citigroup bank, vice chairman at Salomon SB.) . His father was Brazilian and his mother English. You may want to read this http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0712935/bio and http://www.cicero.de/97.php?ress_id=9&item=2734:


 * >>Sohn wohlhabender Eltern, Vater Brasilianer, Mutter Britin, wurde er schon früh Schauspieler, machte als Zehnjähriger im Skifilm "The divided heart" mit und gab in "Lawrence of Arabia" neben Peter O’Toole unter dem Künstlernamen Michel Ray den jungen Faraj. Als Sportler (Ski und Rodeln) nahm er dreimal an Olympischen Spielen teil, landete aber unter "ferner liefen…". Bei der Tour de France hielt er immerhin acht Tagesetappen durch.


 * 1979 entschied er sich fürs Business und trat bei CS First Boston in New York ein, wo er es 1993 ins Board schaffte. Die Heineken-Erbin lernte er beim Skilaufen in St. Moritz kennen und lieben. Heute ist der fünffache Vater Vize bei der Londoner Schroder Salomon Smith Barney Bank und erster Nicht-Japaner im Board von Nikko Securities. Vor allem aber verwaltet er das Familienvermögen der Heinekens: 4,67 Milliarden Dollar (2008). Das Ehepaar gehört damit zu den Superreichen in Europa. Dieser Hintergrund macht Michel de Carvalho zum Schrecken jener großen Traditionsbrauhäuser, die jederzeit damit rechen müssen, in den Sog der Bier–Opec zu geraten.<<

Michel Ray
Why does Michel Ray, an Anglo-Brazilian child actor who appeared in, among other films, the epic Lawrence of Arabia, not have his own page? Why does he redirect into the Wikipedia page about his wife? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.184.8 (talk) 12:35, 18 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Possibly lack of individual notability? But the re-direct became a BLP page on 28 June 2014. See Michel de Carvalho. His greater claim to fame may be as a Winter Olympics team member for Great Britain on three occasions. 220  of  Borg 13:57, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
