[Guest db99wj]

Amateurs.

But really, wow.

[Guest Glock23ForMe]

Holy .... I'm in the wrong business....

[TripleDigitRide]

How much cash is that? A bunch.

[Guest Glock23ForMe]

How much cash is that? A bunch.

[Guest TnDeerHunter]

Makes you wonder who all was feed to the big cats

[Guest boatme99]

Just goes to show-you can't buy good taste.

Haha. I figured that could be abundantly clear, as well, with all the rap stars buying gold teeth.

[TNRobocop]

Holy Carp!

Gimme a free pass and a 18 wheeler with 1 day to myself in that house.

1 DAY?! I could do some SERIOUS damage in about 12-14 hours... A lot more damage than my spending habits could EVER undo.

But hey, I'll split the 18 Wheeler bill with ya.... We can just carry all of it out and divide it up later.

We could sit and say "One for me, one for you, one for me, one for you...." for a week!!!

For someone smart enough to be successful in business to the tune of having over 200 million in cash salted away, you would figure he would be smart enough to launder his money by investing it in legitimate businesses where it won't continue to lose value due to inflation.

Or maybe it's just me.

[Guest Glock23ForMe]

Or maybe it's just me.

I really wouldn't want 100 Million stacked up in my extra bedroom either...

[Guest jackdm3]

I'm thinking he would run out of outlets to launder.

[Guest Glock23ForMe]

I'm thinking he would run out of outlets to launder.

Just me, but I would start opening up McDonalds, Taco Bells and Burger Kings by the dozens...

In ten years, 200 million dollars is still 200 million dollars!

[Guest Drewsett]

Assuming 3-5% annual inflation it's still 200 million dollars, but it buys less stuff!

That's what I meant by losing money. The whole phenomenon of movies that used to cost a nickel now costing 10$ + is inflation in action. That's why it's never smart to just sit on physical money. The longer you hold on to it, you can buy less and less stuff with it.

Oh, I get that.

What I mean is, a cool 200 mil is more monies then I could ever spend now, or in ten years!

You think small. I could easily spend 200 mil in a week's time.

[towerclimber37]

This is why Mexico is so poor. Everybody and his little brother want to be a Antonio López de Santa Anna but nobody wants to be a Benito Juarez.

Two days. That would be all I'd need to invest the 200 million in such a way that no descendant of mine would ever have to work again.
