So there I was thinking on Sunday, while reading the Sunday Times, “Who the hell is Deandra Solomon?” She was featured as a shopper in The Sunday Times and I commented on it this week.
So after I asked who she was I received an e-mail offering more insight. Obviously not to give any names, or give anything away that I shouldn’t, I can tell you the following.
Deandra Solomon seems to have literally been dropped into money. In the same style as Paris Hilton and all the other socialites just do everything excessively on some money they happened to find one day, so Deandra follows a similiar vibe in her lifestyle. Last year she celebrated her 18th birthday at Shoka in Cape Town. Somehow Gavin Rajah designed her dress for the event, and conceptualised the event. Well if Gwen Gill says it, it must be true!
So Deandra is the granddaughter of Etty Glazer. Etty Glazer, the wife of Johannesburg multi millionaire Bernard Glazer, was kidnapped in 1966 with her 22 month old son, Sammy. The ransom was R140000.
Bernard Glazer built the President Hotel in Johannesburg which boasted 260 rooms and cost R7,5 million to construct. This was in the late 60’s I believe and so as you can imagine, that was a fair amount of cash.
So that’s the heritage of Deandra Solomon. So now we know why she is so rich! And now I know why she was in the Sunday Times. People apparently say she is South Africa’s Paris Hilton. I don’t believe it for a minute. No one in the world is anyones Paris Hilton. Unless you have a sex tape and get out of your Mercedes SLK 55 AMG wearing no underwear, you have nothing on Paris.
You also need to register an IQ, and from word what I hear via the grapevine, Deandra is actually quite intelligent.
And so Paris lives another day.
