That's what the guy does, buys land and sports teams. Every one of us can"t imagine what it's like to have that much money. I'm jealous when my friend goes to Ruth Chris Steak House for take out.

The dude is living the dream

I live in a 60 acre ranch a little outside Austin Texas that is AG exempt and it's like living in your own country, it's ultimate freedom. I pay no state I come tax and my property tax on the entire place is under 4k a year. I raise my own food and have three wells and a rainwater collection system - so all I pay for is electricity. I can shoot pistols all day and if anyone climbs over my fence I've been advised by the sheriff to make sure you kill them cause wounding them leads to legal troubles - but killing them is okay....

that's basically what Stan is doing X 1 BILLION DOLLARS

He is buying fiefdoms in North America

I figured he'd move next to Jerruh Jones...his primary supporter....

Or I figured he'd purchased it from Jerruh Jones because he owed him a favor....

Sure we do.

It's just that most of us still haven't trained our brains to do the automatic km-to-mile conversion. That hard drive space has been re-allocated to memorizing movie quotes and bar/pub trivia.

i'll do it for you. say around 25 miles by 31 miles.

or 772 square miles.

Dieter, that sounds fantastic. Do you have any cattle or other animals? Do you farm it?

It's Central Texas so all that's good here is cows, goats, and sheep - I have about 12 Longhorns (Butler breed) and we also raise turkeys and chickens - but the soil isn't anything but limestone

The problem is that my wife and kids have gone vegan so my beef bull might just get a reprieve hahah

I learned the other day that if you were to divide the land mass of Texas up, there'd be enough space for the entire population of Earth to have 1100sq feet to themselves. Which is the size of my goddamn apartment.

:burp: Dieter, you got a pool out back there? Maybe I could come over some time and swim?
:flanders: We've got a pool, and a pond. Pond would be good for you.
:burp: Yeah, the pond....or the pool.

Two things come into mind when I think of this deal:
1) Did Jerry Jones help put this deal together too!?
AND
2) Well ....

These people live to make deals that increase their wealth. They will keep doing it until they are on their deathbed. Retiring would be hell for them.

People who get that wealthy usually have such a drive to be working and moving that they could never retire comfortably.
