Thirty-eight-year-old Andrew Paul, a father of one, who owns a u00a3 1.1 million five-bedroom home in an acre of Kent countryside, an Austin Martin DBS car (James Bond's favourite) and u00a3200,000 Seaking 35 Sport motor boat said, last week, his home now holds "too many painful memories". The equities trader added: "I have worked hard my entire career but now I want to slow down the pace of my life a little. "I like the idea of giving someone else the opportunity to live life to the full the way I have been doing." The winner of the spot-the-golf-ball competition which is running on <a href="http://www.winanewlife.com/" target="_blank">http://www.winanewlife.com/</a> until August 19 will be judged by an independent adjudicator. The lucky person will be at liberty to choose u00a3 1 million in cash as an alternative. A ticket costs u00a3 20. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2009/jun/singh.jpg" align="right" border="1" />If Paul achieves sales of 200,000 tickets, he will rake in up to u00a3 4 million at a time when it might have been difficult to sell his house. Recession be damned, London-based Bollywood investor The Indian Film Company is doing well, thank you. According to financial results announced this week, the company's results were boosted by a string of box office hits. Eight films backed by them, including Singh is Kinng, starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif (born to a British woman and her estranged Kashmiri husband) and Ghajini were released in the year to the end of March. Indian Film posted annual revenues up from u00a3 11.4 million to u00a3 40.9 million and operating profits doubled to u00a3 4.6 million. According to a British newspaper, shares in the London-listed firm surged by as much as 50 per cent. The firm also moved into world cinema with three co-productions, including Little Zizou and It's A Wonderful Afterlife. It also acquired the remake rights to The Italian Job. Chairman Shyam Benegal is reported by a London newspaper as saying: "The board is confident that the financial year 2010 will be another strong year for the group."
