I know that I, and most of you see shit like this, and are guilty as seeing it as utter frivolous dick swinging and a waste of $, but to be honest.. If I was a (1bn) billionaire, and my wealth was going up my 5% per annum for doing fuck all (that's approx 1 million a week), then I'd probably buy it, in the same way I might buy a g-shock or Seiko now.
Different rules I guess.

Nick - auction buyers premiums vary from auction house to auction house, but it's typically 20% with all costs added up.( This is based on regular priced watches, not multi-million stuff!!)
I was with a billionaire once (18B at the time) who impulse bought a jumbo jet for 40M - so he wouldn’t miss a meeting - and said “I’m gonna expense it and I’ll just sell it later”. He didn’t even bat an eye, just started walking up the steps.

I did another deal with one who made 30M a year in interest off of one investment, and he would spend it each year on “things”. He was the same guy who flew his jumbo jet to Augusta to watch the Master’s but hopped the fence each day to get in because “ticket prices are way too high”.

You can’t hop the fence at Augusta. People are nuts. Why would a loaded guy like that feel the need to BS

It's the accountant in me, thinking about getting it as cheap as possible. Probably not an issue for the bidders (I would be set for life with $15M).
I'd be set for life for far less :shrug: Hell, if I could swing an angel deposit of a mil, my life would be a lot simpler :thumbsup:

It'll probably be worth that today, tomorrow and more in time so could be seen as an investment.

On the other hand, yesterday Bill Gates walked down the fuel dock of our yacht club to board a tender for the motor yacht Here Comes Sun. 2017, 284ft, US$1.25M a week plus expenses!

I've always said.. when someones wealth is stated at a certain figure.. say, like 100M; and the question is.. "Is that $ or £", then it doesn't matter, it's just a shit load. It's like asking how much salt is on the 25oz T-bone special.

I believe the theme was “sneak in” as opposed to specific fence hopping.
