He’s wealthy enough to book every table in any restaurant of his choosing if he wants to dine out in private, and judging by the empty chairs surrounding Roman Abramovich on Monday afternoon it looked as if he’d done just that. Indeed, it was quiet enough to hear a rouble drop when as the Russian oligarch enjoyed a lunch date with partner Dasha Zhukova at Puny restaurant during their current stay in picturesque Italian coastal town Portofino.

25 year old Brazilian model Dai Macedo from the central state of Goia beat 26 other contestants to win the 2013 Miss Bum Bum contest which is quite popular in Brazil. Dai impressed judges with her 42in derrière and went home with 5,000 reais ($2,100). She will also make a lot of money in advertising contracts. You would expect the butt that won her the contest to be 100% natural but it's not. "It isn't 100% natural. I had a butt lift. I always had a large backside but liposuction improved it,' Dai said.  SEE MORE PICTURES FROM OTHER CONTESTANTS Share 2 2 Share 0 3 Share 0 4 Share 1 5 Share 0 6 Share 0 7 Share 1 8 Share 0 9 Share 0 10 Share 0 11 Share 0 12 Share 0 13 Share 0 14 Share 0 15 Share 0 16 Share 0 17 Share 0 18 Share 0 19 Share 0 20 Share 0
