lost $1.7 billion in the previous quarter. A quarter is three months and somewhere around 90 days. I asked myself, if anyone else had that kind of money - what would they do with it? To keep it simple I just divided the $1.7 billion by 100 days and that comes out to $17 million per day. Here is what you could do with $17 million a day for 100 days.
Day 1 - Buy the
10 most expensive cars in the world. Total cost = $14,076,721. Obviously you would also spend $2,923,279 on gas, maintenance, insurance, tune ups and speeding tickets. Mostly speeding tickets.
Day 2 - Spend 479 nights in one of the world's most expensive hotel rooms - the
Hugh Hefner Sky Villa at the Palms in Las Vegas. The suite costs $35,487 per night and comes complete with 9,000 square feet of living space, a gym, sauna and full bar. It can hold 250 people and has its own private elevator.
Day 3 - Buy the world's most expensive watch for yourself and 3 of your closest friends. At $3.5 million
