and even a bit of a story, such as the Mail can muster
Drowning their sorrows in a chic hotel at 1am - the billionaire, his blonde
wife and the friends who helped bring Iceland to the brink of bankruptcy
But while Reykjavik burns and its assets freeze, The Mail on Sunday found
Mr Johannesson still doing nicely evidenced by the £85 bottles of white
wine on his table.
The 41-year-old, who was found guilty of false accounting last year, drives
a Bentley and lives in a three-storey Reykjavik mansion that boasts a
bullet-proof room in case of attack. Some people half joke that he may yet
need it.
He is one half of Icelands most glamorous couple: his 47-year-old wife is
Ingibjorg Palmadottir, who owns a yacht which she moors in the Caribbean
and drives a customised white Mercedes known in Reykjavik as the White
Pearl.
