May 2015 dick portillo reflects on sale of eponymous restaurant chain.

Chicago, Illinois, May 22, 2015  — Visit a Portillo's restaurant at lunchtime and you'll see a steady stream of customers ordering Italian Beef sandwiches, Chicago-style hot dogs, french fries and chocolate cake shakes. Recent patrons might have caught a glimpse of Dick Portillo placing his own less decadent order: a single hard boiled egg. There was a reason for his restraint. The founder of the eponymous chain had a big dinner celebration later that night and he didn't want to be too full. 

That discipline and methodical planning shows up in other facets of Portillo's life, including how he picked a private equity firm to take over his self-made empire. As his business hit 51 years in April 2014, he said he was proud of what he had accomplished. But to take Portillo's to the next level, he knew he needed outside financing. "I was very leery of who I talked to," said Portillo, 75. "I wanted to see who would baby this more, and keep the culture."

A self-proclaimed "systems junkie," Portillo put the chain's 38 locations up for sale last year. He quickly had two dozen suitors trying to get their hands on the popular chain. Berkshire Partners was the winning bidder even though, Portillo said, its offer was lower than some others. He said he dismissed a higher offer because it included plans to quickly take Portillo's public; he worried the firm would make hasty changes to try and grow too quickly. 

One of the things he liked about Berkshire was that it wasn't a restaurant operator looking to replace Portillo's tried-and-true methods with its own restaurant operating systems. A Berkshire official echoed those ideals."We don't have any desire to change the formula at all," said Mike Miles, who is now executive chairman of the Portillo's chain. "The last thing you'd want to do is mess with that formula and mess with that business." Miles said Portillo now is helping him interview prospective CEOs for the chain.

Portillo said his restaurant's large menu and various processes, which include preparing nearly everything but the french fries at massive commissaries, differs from chains such as Chipotle Mexican Grill, which has a more limited menu and list of ingredients. "It is complex, it's very complex. It's also extremely successful."

The history buff — he has retraced the sailing path of Christopher Columbus, among other adventures — compares the success of Portillo's business model to building a moat outside a medieval castle to block enemies. "My moat is the complexity of the business and it helps keep the competition away," Portillo said. 

Portillo's revenue per store is unheard of in fast-food or fast-casual restaurants. An average McDonald's in the United States, for example, brings in nearly $2.5 million in annual revenue. The average newer Portillo's brings in $7 to $8 million. A higher-volume location in Downers Grove sells around $2 million of salads a year, one of many statistics Portillo rattles off. Portillo sees his restaurants as more of a special destination than other fast casual chains. The wide variety means families linger, even with no kids' menus or toys. The company has shipped its food to every state for in-home celebrations.

Neither Portillo nor Miles would discuss the financial terms of last summer's acquisition nor the chain's profitability. But Miles, an advisory director at Berkshire Partners with years of restaurant and retail expertise, was quick to say that Portillo's "single unit economics are better than anything I've ever seen." Selling the chain has at times been difficult for Portillo, though he said he still believes it was the right decision at the right time. "I have some regrets occasionally, it's not all of the time. It was a big emotional thing for me," Portillo said of selling his business. His journey started 52 years ago, when he scraped together $1,100 to set up a hot dog stand in a 6- by 12-foot trailer with no running water. 

Through his new company R&S Growth Management, Portillo oversees real estate investments. Those investments include the land under most of Portillo's restaurants — he leases the space back to Berkshire Partners — along with other ventures such as shopping centers and apartments. Portillo said he aims to buy the land for future Portillo's locations where the space is for sale and would then lease the space to Berkshire Partners. He does not own the land for the upcoming Rockford and Homewood locations, the first new Portillo's set to open in nearly two years.

Portillo continues to have connections to his former staff and customers. On a recent weekday, he posed for photos with patrons at the Downers Grove location. His fans include Scott Winch, a landscaper who said he visits the restaurant daily and is partial to the jumbo char dog. "We miss ya boss, we miss ya," Winch, 47, told Portillo as they embraced. "You're the man." One worker brought Portillo a handful of flowers, while another quickly delivered his meal — that single egg — to his table. 

After coffee, a "good breakfast" such as oatmeal with sliced banana, and a berry, almond milk and protein smoothie, Portillo's typical lunch is fruit and fat-free cottage cheese. He tends to wake up between 4:30 and 5:30 a.m., work out each morning and eat healthy meals, albeit with some indulgence. After all, one of his investments is an 18 percent stake in the Oak Brook location of Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse, where he planned to dine later that same night. More often, however, dinner is lighter. He said he eats at Chipotle a lot, and is a fan of its black beans and brown rice.

Portillo, a former Marine Corps member and marathon runner, said he was also ready to slow down and "enjoy life" a little bit." There was no balance in my life. It was pretty much all work until about 10 years ago. And I've started going to more funerals than weddings," Portillo said as his sat in his former Oak Brook office. "I would like to spend more time with my grandchildren and children, more time on my boat, and at the same time see the name all over the country, if possible. That could not happen if I would have remained in the position I was in."

Portillo has a new office in Oakbrook Terrace with a view of the Chicago skyline, roughly 2-1/2 miles from Portillo's headquarters. The new office serves as meeting place for Portillo, his chief administrative officer and the managing director of R&S. It's also a place to showcase everything from Han Dynasty swords to guns and machetes used by U.S. Marines. Photos of Portillo's family, his restaurants and his adventures adorn tables and walls throughout the space. There are also a few quotations that highlight Portillo's thinking and business strategy. Two sayings get prominent placement on both his new desk and in Oak Brook, where his former office has been transformed into a meeting area. The top silver plaque reads D.W.Y.S.Y.G.T.D. – short for "Do what you say you're going to do." Below it, another plaque reads, "When You Have Somebody By The Balls Don't Let Go To Get A Better Grip." 

In a hallway outside his Oakbrook Terrace office sits a sculpture titled Self Made Man. The piece, by Bobbie Carlyle, depicts a man carving himself out of stone. It was a Christmas gift from Portillo's wife, Sharon, whom he married in 1959. Portillo showcases his commitment to her outside each restaurant, with "Dick Loves Sharon" carved into the sidewalk cement, and hides the same message in the decor of new restaurants. 

He still spends time working on the Portillo's business as a consultant to Berkshire Partners, work that includes helping the firm interview potential CEOs for Portillo's. One of Portillo's sons, Michael, still works for the restaurant, training managers. Portillo plans to attend the grand opening events for the chain's Rockford location, which is set to open on June 9.

Portillo said the two toughest and most important things Berkshire needs to focus on are site selection — "so far I've been using my gut instincts" — and training. He recalls having to pull aside managers who were not treating workers properly, whether that was overhearing swearing in the kitchen or stopping by a drive-thru lane where an order taker outside on a sub-zero night was not relieved of the frigid duty quickly enough. Portillo said he made the manager gear up and stand outside for the same long 45 minutes.

Berkshire Partners is getting ready to open three locations in 2015, with plans for five in 2016. It's paying close attention to places with Chicago transplants, much as Portillo himself did by opening units in Arizona, for example. So fans on the west coast of Florida, along with those in parts of Wisconsin and Texas, will "probably see" Portillo's restaurants in the next five years, Miles said. "We're very conscious about not trying to go too quickly," said Miles, who said that for now there are no plans to franchise any locations or to take the company public.

Meanwhile, Portillo spends more of his days taking adventurous vacations, such as a one-month tour of Alaska and a trip through the Panama Canal, both on the 112-foot Westport yacht he got in May. "I'm looking for a bigger one," he says, laughing. Like his prior boats, the latest white yacht carries the name Top Dog. The license plate of his black SUV, meanwhile, reads DPTD, for Dick Portillo Top Dog. 

Portillo credited his passion for much of his success. "Sometimes it just gave me more energy to go further, to push." He has photos of the Francis Cabrini housing project on Mohawk Street where he spent part of his childhood on the wall of the new office, just a few feet from photos of one of his homes, a mansion in Oak Brook. "We want to keep Dick as involved as possible," said Miles, who said he meets with Portillo weekly when the septuagenarian is in town. "I don't think his passion for the business has waned at all."

These luxury vessels come with hefty price tags that can range from anywhere between $30 million to over $400 million.

So, if youre in the market for a superyacht, youre looking at an investment that could easily break the bank.

The cost of a superyacht is driven by a variety of factors, including size, amenities, and customization.

Generally, the larger the yacht, the more expensive it will be.

Superyachts typically range in size from 100 feet to over 200 feet, and they can be as wide as 40 feet.

The bigger the yacht, the more luxurious features and amenities it will have.

From custom furniture and artwork to lighting and audio systems, the cost of a superyacht can quickly escalate depending on the level of customization.

In short, the cost of a superyacht can vary widely depending on its size, amenities, and customization.

While some may be able to get away with spending a few million dollars, others may end up spending hundreds of millions of dollars on their dream yacht.

No matter what your budget is, its important to do your research and find out exactly what youre getting for your money before signing on the dotted line.

Keeping Superyachts Out of the Public Eye

When it comes to owning a superyacht, some owners prefer to keep their vessels out of the public eye.

Understandably, these individuals are concerned with privacy and discretion, and therefore tend to take measures to ensure their yachts are not visible to outsiders.

For instance, some superyacht owners opt to keep their vessels in private marinas, away from the public areas of larger ports.

Additionally, some yacht owners may choose to hire security guards to patrol and protect their vessels while they are moored or sailing.

In addition to physical security, some superyacht owners also use technology to keep their vessels out of the public eye.

For example, a yacht owner may choose to install a satellite-based communications system that allows them to keep their vessel completely off-radar.

This system works by bouncing signals off satellites rather than transmitting them, making it virtually impossible for anyone to track the yachts movements.

Finally, some superyacht owners also choose to limit the number of people who have access to their vessels.

For instance, the owner may only allow family members and close friends to board the yacht.

Additionally, the owner may choose to employ a limited number of staff to help maintain the vessel and keep it running smoothly.

These individuals may be required to sign non-disclosure agreements to ensure they do not disclose any information about the yacht or its owner.

Overall, while some superyacht owners may choose to keep their vessels out of the public eye, there are still plenty of other ways to show off the opulence associated with owning a superyacht.

From swimming pools and helicopter pads to on-board cinemas and spas, there are many luxurious amenities that can make a superyacht the envy of any jet setter.

Final Thoughts

Superyachts are a symbol of luxury and status, and the list of yacht owners reads like a who’s who of billionaires.

From the Emir of Qatar’s world-record breaking $400 million yacht to Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s vessel with a helicopter pad and on-board spa, the amenities of these luxury vessels are truly stunning.

With prices ranging from $30 million to over $400 million, owning a superyacht is an expensive endeavor.

Whether you’re looking to purchase one or just curious to learn more about the owners and their amenities, this guide will provide you with all the information you need to stay up to date with the superyacht scene.

THE MEGA MANSIONS OF NAPLES

First, I want to warn you that these “winter getaway” homes are super luxurious and it is easy to imagine yourself sitting by the pool with an attentive butler at your disposal. I couldn’t pick just one that I would buy if I had the money to do so. It certainly makes you wonder what kind of massive architectural structures these billionaires and millionaires live in full time.

We picked a day to explore Naples and decided on a sightseeing cruise through the beautiful Naples Bay and Gordon Pass waterways, followed by a city trolley tour. These activities are not affiliated with each other, but we were able to jump off the boat and walk a couple of blocks to hop on the two hour trolley tour. We started at Tin City, which you can see on the map below.

Once we pushed off from the dock, we navigated Gordon Pass, wound our way through some canals, and briefly drove out in the Gulf of Mexico. Surprisingly, we had a brief encounter with two dolphins on our way back to Tin City.

Tin City’s tin roofed buildings were the hub of economic development and transportation in the 1920’s, which was made possible by the construction of the Seaboard Airline Railroad. Now it is home to over thirty unique boutiques, two waterfront restaurants and a variety of water and boating adventures.

Several exclusive yacht clubs are conveniently located on Naples Bay. There is a $40,000 application fee and 2-4 year waiting list for one of them. I can safely say that we will never become a member.

With a high concentration of millionaires and billionaires living nearby, I am sure that there will always be a waiting list. The mega boats caught our attention, but wait until you see the massive estates that lined both sides of Naples Bay.

We initially drove by Aqualane Shores, a 350 homesite luxury community on deep canals that was started in 1950. The homes have been torn down and replaced with sprawling mansions priced from $2.3 million to $10 million.

The next development, Port Royal, was developed by John Glen Sample who died in 1973. His vision was to build the finest place in the World to live. Between 1938 and 1950, Sample acquired two square miles of mangroves and swamp land for $13,700.

In the early 1950’s, heavy equipment was brought in to help begin dredging and filling the marshlands to develop numerous man-made peninsulas into residential lots overlooking the waterways, coves and Naples Bay. The first lots were sold for amounts ranging from $7500 to $12,000 each.

Today, the properties sell at the low end for $5 million on canals and up to $60 million for beachfront estates. Since most of these are winter vacation homes, they are only used a few weeks out of the year. I was bummed that we didn’t see a single person lounging by their pool.

Initially, Sample personally interviewed and accepted every potential buyer for each piece of land in the community until his death in 1971. If the buyer was not up to the standards of dress, conversation, or other factor, he would reject their bid to purchase the land.

It was rumored that Sample did not welcome celebrity owners into his community, but after his death, Tom Selleck was allowed to build a home at the end of a peninsula. His original home remains as one of the smaller and older properties that we saw, but it recently sold and will be torn down I’m sure.

Unfortunately, Tom never moved in because he assumed the entrance would be gated, but it never was. I have to admit that his house has very little curb appeal. They should have called HGTV!

I  can’t remember every owner of the specific estates that the captain pointed out, but I kept track of names and/or companies. Some big names were executives from the likes of S C Johnson, Best Buy, the founder of Play Dough, the founder of a mutual fund company once owned by Aetna, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Revlon, and Portillo (of Chicago Hot Dog fame).

I wonder if these owners get irritated at the tour boats and private boats cruising up and down the canals. There certainly is not much privacy by the swimming pools that are right on the water.

Some of the founders of Naples and the surrounding Collier county had built homes in the area. Not too many original homes exist today.

One family owns the two homes above and property on the adjacent island. It was recently put on the market and will go for $100 – $150 million. However, the sales record will not be disclosed to the public.

The trolley tour took us all over town. A highlight during the tour was one of the nation’s most exclusive addresses, 5th Avenue South, which is near Old Naples and is home to upscale fashion and jewelry, spas, one-of-a-kind gifts, artwork, home décor, fine dining, and entertainment.

What a great way to spend a day! I highly recommend both activities if you like admiring fancy expensive things that you can’t afford. Or maybe you can….either way it’s fun to look.

Exiled russian oligarch’s 257’ superyacht amaryllis seen towed through palm beach.

The Amaryllis being towed past the former mansion of Henry Flagler, built in 1902

By John Jannarone and Alan Hatfield

The 257’ superyacht Amaryllis apparently owned by exiled Russian oligarch Andrey Borodin was towed past Palm Beach, FL on Friday morning, according to a visual account by CorpGov .

The yacht, whose owner is frequently cited as Mr. Borodin by enthusiast publications, moved slowly through the Lake Worth lagoon where bridges were raised for its passage. A towboat with flashing lights about 150 feet ahead pulled the Amaryllis , built by German shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen in 2011.

While CorpGov could not officially confirm Mr. Borodin as the owner of the vessel, his wife, socialite Tatiana Korsakova, has posted dozens of Instagram photos and videos aboard the Amaryllis. A yacht broker interviewed by CorpGov confirmed that Ms. Korsakova is indeed aboard the Amaryllis in the photos and videos.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tatiana Korsakova (@tati_vk)

The sighting comes as billions of dollars in Russian-owned yachts have been seized around the world as a result of international sanctions. CNN has published an extensive list of seized vessels, which were taken in harbor cities including Mallorca, Spain and London.

However, it is unclear if the Amaryllis was being seized or voluntarily towed. Very large yachts often choose to be towed because bridges are required to raise for them, according to the yacht broker.

The former Bank of Moscow chief was granted political asylum in the UK in February 2013 after fleeing what he alleged to be politically-motivated fraud and embezzlement charges. Mr. Borodin would go on to be tried and convicted in abstentia in Russian Court in 2018, but not before managing to enlist a number of prominent American lawmakers to lobby Washington for a U.S. visa. Despite Russian extradition requests to the UK government, Borodin’s controversial attempts to make large donations to the NHS, and the uncovering of an assassination plot against his life, the fugitive banker remains overseas, having been granted access to his Swiss bank accounts and having made several notable London real estate purchases during his time in exile.

Mr. Borodin is widely listed as a billionaire, but his total wealth remains difficult to confirm accurately, with the governments of Switzerland and the Bahamas having been asked to help the Russian government in its legal case. In 2012, Borodin purchased the UK’s then-most expensive home, an 80-hectare 18th-century estate in Oxfordshire, for upwards of $217 million. In 2017 he was granted access to personal Swiss accounts holding a reported $378 million. The Amaryllis was purchased for a reported $120 million.

Mr. Borodin did not immediately respond to an emailed query from CorpGov , while the FBI declined to comment. An emailed query to The Department of Homeland Security was not returned.

Loyal pitbull mix Maya credited with saving disabled owner's life in California house fire

Maya was found unconscious and lying on top of her disabled owner as a fire ravaged their house outside of sacramento. both maya and her owner melissa are recovering from their burns..

Portrait of Saman Shafiq

A California woman is lucky to be alive after officials believe her dedicated dog helped protect her during a house fire.

Firefighters found Maya, an 8-year-old Pitbull mix, unconscious and lying on top of her disabled owner as a fire ravaged their house in the suburban Sacramento city of Citrus Heights last month, according to Nicole Orlando, director of the Veterinary Specialty Hospital in nearby Roseville.

The entire house was engulfed in thick smoke and flames with no escape route, Orlando told USA TODAY this week.

Firefighters, who broke a window to reach Maya and her owner, used an oxygen mask on the dog for 15 minutes to revive her, after which she was rushed to the vet, Orlando said, adding that all her treatment was free.

Maya remained at the hospital for two days as she was treated for smoke inhalation. She's still being treated for burn marks, including one on her tongue.

"(She's) a very, happy sweet dog," Orlando said. The Veterinary Specialty Hospital said in a Facebook on Tuesday that Maya "hasn't lost her spirit."

The hospital also had a small ceremony to honor Maya, her family and the firefighters who braved the flames to save them.

"In a beautiful celebration of bravery, loyalty, and community, we all gathered to reflect on Maya’s incredible act of protecting her mom, who is also on the mend," the hospital said, sharing pictures of Maya with the firefighters.

What happened to Maya's family?

Maya and her owners' house caught fire on Aug. 15, according to a GoFundMe page set up by the owners' daughter, Allison Hoffman.

Although Maya saved her mother's life, the family lost a beloved kitten, Misty, in the fire and her mother suffered third-degree burns on more than 60% of her body and was being treated at the UC Davis Burn Center.

"Although the structure still stands, my family lost everything," Hoffman said. "Our mother will need numerous skin grafts, rehab, and months of medical therapy."

Melissa, who is Maya's owner, was wheelchair-bound after a stroke left her immobile, the GoFundMe said. She was unable to get out of house at the time of the fire but Maya remained with her throughout the ordeal. Melissa's husband, David Hoffman, told KCRA-TV that his wife did not receive any burn marks on her chest likely due to the dog lying on top of her.

"It saved her life,” Hoffman told station.

David attempted to run inside and save his wife but the "fire was too big and too fierce," and he was unable to make it to her, the GoFundMe said.

In an update on Aug. 24, Allison said Melissa was recovering and was taken off the ventilator and was awake and talking a little.

The family's two other pet cats, Molly and Boots, survived and made it out safely.

'Unbelievable accident'

"Times are hard right now and none of us are going to pretend like everything is going to be OK," Allison said. "Our hopes are one day we can make it to some sort of normal and move on from this absolutely unbelievable accident."

While the total loss is estimated to be over $380,000, the GoFundMe account has a target of $10,000. As of Friday afternoon, more than $7,600 had been raised.
