"You wouldn't get that much. Taxes."
Okay, (Mr. TECHNICAL) a hundred million?"
He looks at me. "Paaaar-Tay!!! Wad ya think?"
"Buy a helicopter...Fly to Mexico." (Then what?) "Hmmm, I done know...buy a house...I guess."
"I'd buy this place, all the coffee I could drink." (Then what?) "I done know. Buy the building maybe. ( Still got 90 million left.) "I done know...buy stuff I guess."
"Buy a yacht, like Tiger Woods, and a crew, (And?) "Sail around... I guess."
Tough question. People thinking soooo small. "Buy a car, a house, a boat? Then what? Get bored? It's like a native from the wilds of the Amazon, hunting for food with a blow gun (are they still around?) suddenly walks into a brightly lit Whole Foods store. He wouldn't know what to do. No concept that a place like this exists.
Same with big Lotto money. No idea what that amount of money can do. And would we know how to handle it, like the native, peanut butter in a jar, what the hell is this. You eat this?
Buy a city? "Huh, a city?" Sure, North Hollywood, Reseda, Belair, (well not Belair). "Buy a city, you can do that?" It's a hundred million. Nothing happens without your OK. If that's what you wanted to do.
Could you trust anybody? Will I get kidnapped for ransom? Guys with machine guns for protection like drug lords?
Open an orphanage? Probably not your first response. But how many do you open?
Buy a business to make MO' MONEY. How much more do you want? You have so much money (is it ever enough?) you don't need to make anymore. Do you? Be the richest person on earth? Put in that kind of effort?
I'm getting a headache here. Maybe the answer is simply our first response...
PAAARRR...TAAAAY!
Later...
P.S. Buy my book. It's on Amazon. You'll like it. (5 stars?)
