You'd have to be careful with the definition of "Native"

My first language is Russian, but I'm pretty much equally proficient in both. Slightly better in conversational Russian, likewise slightly better in written English, but the differences are so minor that noone has been able to tell that English isn't my first language and I didn't start speaking English until I was 14 - unless I told them. :hmm:
