Question

Check out my 360 for details.
I ask this in "politics" because there are frequent posts about rich folks.

Answer 1

Wait a couple of years when the guy decides to sell it and you will see just how savvy

Answer 2

Do the math, John! How many seconds are there in 5,000 years?

Let's see.
60 sec 60 min 24 365 days 5000 years = 157680000000 s.
1 min 1 hour 1 day 1 year

That works out to 0.03627 cents per second. Not TOO bad! *grin*

It's one of the OLDEST relics of human history. *shrug*

This is just MORE evidence that archaeology doesn't pay by-the-inch! *laughter*

Answer 3

Only if you check all bags at the front door and all pockets at the back door.

Wow, can you imagine what a burdensome 3" that would be...

Answer 4

If it is worth that much to that person, then yes.

Whether it is for aesthetic reasons or for investment purposes is of little import.

It harms nobody, and that person is free to spend their money they see fit.

Answer 5

I think he's an idiot and I hope he drops it and breaks it. Imagine what good in the world he could have done with $57 million.......I don't understand their thought processes.

Answer 6

Do you know how many people can eat with 57.2 million dollars. It should have been placed in a museum and not sold to the public.

Answer 7

I wouldn't do it even if I had that kind of money. But to each their own. Does seem wasteful to me though.

Answer 8

its like ppl that collect cars or transformers barbies or baseball cards, its their right if they can afford it to buy what ever they can afford

Answer 9

It's your (or somebody's) money. Spend it as you please. I say it's a waste
