Looking for a daydream to fill the summer doldrums? Try this one on for sighs: What would you do if you had the kind of dough computer whiz Bill Gates has?
Can you say EIGHT-POINT-TWO-BILLION-buckaroos?
That will get you a lot of a lot of stuff. And it got us thinking…
…Do you like Ken Griffey Jr.? You could go to the Seattle Kingdome and see him play out his career over the next 17.2 seasons. Oh yeah, you could also peel a $100 bill off of every seat at every home game. (Yo! Hot dog guy! A round of dogs for this and every other row!)
…You could really make your head spin by renting out Disneyland for no less than 10,933 days at about $500,000 a day. Or about 29.95 years! And no, everybody doesn’t have to go home each night. You can cover their room costs, too, for $250,000 a day for the Disneyland hotel – the whole hotel. (But they’re on their own for breakfast.)
…Who needs Lollapalooza? How about KidNews Jam Fest? You could book Pearl Jam, Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston on rotating nights for 8,200
days – or 22.4 years. Yeah, by then you should be bored with them.
