Ooops, my bad. I got my millionaires mixed up. Move the Kings out of Sac and move a team into SJ? Actually makes sense. SJ is a much better area than that crap hole area Sacramento if you ask me.
why would Paul Allen try to buy the Warriors. He already has the Blazers.
You're thinking Larry Ellison. Anyhow why overbid. They(allen, ellison and others) are not rich by throwing the money away when you don't have to.
Larry still has a chance at the hornets if he wants. Though I'm sure he'd like to move them to San Jose, NBA might not want to deal with that right now with the Kings possible move creating controversy.
Bet most of those people posted using some variant of Microsoft product....
Love the headline:
"Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen gives "60 Minutes" a tour of his estate, yacht, space rocket, and, yes -- his very own submarine"
Cause a space rocket is something all rich people have, but a submarine .... now that's a rare bird.
You don't have your own space shift? What are you . . . some kind of pauper?
The comments are pretty ... stupid.
Rock on Paul, 90% to charity upon death is pretty epic of him. Does he list what charities?
And the attack on classes continues.
Because he's rich, and I have a right to tell him what to do with his money. I don't think he's using it or spending it appropriately for the betterment of society. His money could be much better spent on other things instead of what he wants. We should all be outraged I tell you. This is an outrage. I'm very outrageous.
You don't need to defend the rich. He's already rich. He won.
This. QFT.
The comments in the article are pathetic and disgusting. Wonder if those idiots realize he's creating more jobs by living this way then most of the Federal Stimulus projects?
Not sure if serious...
Take his yacht alone. He bought the boat from the company that built it, employing all those workers. Not to mention the sales tax on that purchase alone. Pretty sure he doesn't crew it himself, so he's paying a crew to man it. Maintenance too. And he's probably paying mooring or docking fees somewhere for it. All the furnishings inside it cost money, which employed other people. And generated tax revenue in sales tax AND income tax because the people who made them paid taxes too. I could go on for a while on just the boat, and I haven't gotten to his construction projects.
Face it, Paul Allen probably pays more in taxes in a year then all of ATOT combined does in a decade.
No supermodel girlfriend/wife = he's fail.
I have no problem with how the Wealthy Spend their $. It's their $, their Choice. However, clearly they(those above a certain level) are not hurting and can Afford to pay more in Tax. This is the crux of the matter.
