Yoko Ono, 87, hasn’t been seen in public for more than a year – but privately, she’s been making moves with her vast fortune.

“She would wake up early every morning, go downstairs to the studio and handle the family business, allowing John to be a househusband,” said Mr Mintz, adding that John had no real business sense, and often needed her help to figure out the most mundane financial matters, such as how much to tip a waiter when he paid for a meal at a restaurant.

“We haven’t seen her for a very long time,” said Roland Greefkes, an iron artisan who made a wrought-iron gate for Ono’s property. “I never met anyone quite like her. She is really something special.” Ono recently donated $70,000 to the West Side Campaign Against Hunger, which, during the pandemic, has provided thousands of meals to out-of-work residents in her neighbourhood. And she has a 30-year relationship with WhyHunger, a New York-based non-profit fighting food deprivation around the world.

NRL is dumb Once again a referring blunder has led to the loss of a game. This ruling can't be undone and the situation fixed. The refs are still just as bad as before. The more help they receive through technology etc, the worse their decision making is. nrl still sucks The bunker is there to review decisions to make sure they are correct . This is clearly failing week after week , either do away with the bunker or fix the problem. NRL have their heads buried in the sand
