Would that not be totally awesome?
She lived in Iran until she was 16, then moved to the United States with her family. By contract, she is not allowed to reveal how much she paid to go on the trip, but it's around $20 Million dollars!
Now here's the main part of my question? If someone who came over from a third world county has a spare 20 million... what boat did I miss exactly? I mean, imagine to be that well off... yeah, here's an extra 20 million just lying around, I think I'll buy a space ticket!
(Not that I begrudge her the chance to go. It would surely be the experience of a lifetime.)
I'm just wondering how you pull down that kind of cash. Is it real estate? Software? Oil? Best friends with Bush? Anyone know the secret?
