The owner is Mr. Tommy Vu.
From Wikipedia about Tommy Vu:
Tuan "Tommy" Vu is a Vietnamese-American poker player, real estate investor and speaker best remembered as an infomercial personality in the late 1980s and early 1990s.Infomercial career
His late night infomercials featured Vu surrounded by luxury items: mansions, yachts, expensive cars and most visibly, collections of young bikini clad women. He promoted his free 90-minute seminar to learn the same secrets he used to make millions. As a Vietnamese immigrant, he presented himself as the classical 'rags to riches' story.
Vu's investment theory involved finding "distressed" properties: foreclosures, bankruptcies, divorces, tax liens, and selling them at a profit.
Vu's somewhat loose grasp of the English language and his use of beautiful models as backdrops made him one of the more humorous and memorable personalities of the infomercial genre.
Formerly of Longwood, Florida and later, California resident, Vu has retired from real estate and lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Professional poker career
He does continue his parallel career as a tournament poker player. As of 2007, he has won more than $1,281,369 in casino poker tournaments, including a second place finish in a no limit Texas hold 'em event at the 2007 World Series of Poker and a 22nd place finish at the 2005 World Series of Poker championship event.
In April 2006, he finished ninth in the Season Five World Poker Tour championship event, earning $216,585.
