Hang on a minute....I thought he was within £300 of being bankrupt last month?

Thousands of people have attended a lavish party to celebrate Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's 89th birthday in the mining town of Bindura.
Mr Mugabe was presented with a cake said to weigh 89kg (196lb), and gold coins were minted to mark the occasion.
The celebrations cost about $600,000 (£400,000), reports say.
In his speech, Mr Mugabe - who has ruled since 1980 - denied claims that he was trying to intimidate political rivals ahead of a new election.
Mr Mugabe will be contesting the election later this year, hoping to secure another five-year term in office.
