If you read the New York Times today you will see that there is a nice house for sale with 12 bedrooms right on the coast of Long Island that will only cost you USD 145 million. There is the picture from Google above…
Just imagine what you could do with it – you could invite all the “Chosen Ones” like Trump, Bezoz, Dimon, Blankfein, Prince Andrew, Katainen (not Rinne because he is a Leftie), Abe, Jimmie Åkesson, Macron, Bolsonaro, Putin (certainly NOT a Leftie), the living Koch brother, Alice Weidel (Not that East German Merkel), etc, etc…
You would have a pleasant time drinking beer and fine wines with BBQ steaks in the setting sun talking about how bad everything is with naughty China, Epstein and Powell.
At the end of the evening, when all the helicopters, Rolls Royces, Armoured Mercedes, the Aurus Senat limousine, and 200 security folk have left, you go to your huge soft sofa and watch Narcos on Netflix with a big glass of whisky and a nagging wife, or girlfriend because you forget to wear the right suit or because you talked too much about politics.
In the morning you call your lawyer and file for divorce, only to find that she has done it already and you kick yourself for buying such a big and expensive house.
But never mind, you have your cash hidden away in some nice zero-tax island. You also call your lawyer there on WhatsApp and instruct him to buy a million shares of this and that based on what you great friends told you last night in confidence…
You then pop down to the kitchen for a coffee and you remember that your doctor has warned you about alcohol, steaks, smoking Cuban cigars and young women. You notice that pain in your chest is getting a little stronger, until you suddenly find yourself face down on the marble floor and a big white space opening up before your eyes and getting very bright indeed…
No matter how fat the wallet, you cannot take it with you on that journey…
