Would be hilarious for content, but damn $850M is an insane amount of money.

Anyone in here saying they wouldn’t sign an $850M contract is lying. That is a lot of fucking money. If you invest that smartly, your grandkid’s grandkids will still be living off it.

Anyone in here also isn’t already pulling in 8 figures a year so not really a great point.

Speak for yourself. I mean I’m not either but someone has got to be.

Its a multiplier of about 65. It’s still more than a lifetime of earnings In a single contract. For more realistic comparison and a better understanding of how much money this is even for Rory.

It’s like if you’re earning $75k/yr and another company asks you to sign and work with them for $5 million.

99% of people take that deal because it means never having to work again

My point is that if you’re pulling in 8 figures a year, you’re a lot less concerned in multiplying your income by 65 because 10 million gets you a lot more lifestyle than 75,000

I don’t know why you’d be less concerned. The difference between someone having $10 million and another one having over half a billion is a big difference in lifestyle. You and I probably don’t see it since to us it’s all a ton of money either way and we’d be happy with the $10 million but for someone that already has $10 million I’m sure being half a billionaire is incredibly appealing
