Who Uses Feng Shui Nowadays?

Long gone are the days when Feng Shui was the talk among superstitious housewives in the marketplace. The art has now a different genre of audience and they are taking it to a much higher and professional level, reminiscing the old days when Feng Shui was championed by the Emperors of ancient China and not a mediocre practice among the populace. The list below will serve as an eye-opener for skeptics of Feng Shui and show how many people out there are actually using it as an extra edge in their ventures. I doubt these people and organisations are ignorant enough to apply something that has no functional value. So here are the people and organisations that have used Feng Shui in their life and buildings:
