So how DID Andrew's pal get to be one of the richest women in the world? She lives in Italy while her young children live in London with a nanny each. And that's not the only mystery about billionaire Goga Ashkenazi

Goga Ashkenazi, is a young Kazakh woman, 36, who is an English-educated 'oligarch', and a seasoned business hand who is said to be 'very, very god' friends with Prince Andrew. 


Her two sons - aged eight and four - live with their nannies (yes, one each) and tutors in the £27.5 million Holland Park pile that was bought for cash. Goga, working hard to expand Vionnet, the venerated, 100-year-old French fashion house she acquired four years ago, lives in a 17th-century palazzo in Milan where its headquarters are based.
