again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

with his $253.2 billion, Jeff Bezos could afford to pay 100 sportswriters $100,000 a year for the next 25,000 years

The leagues, most of which are sucking up to Trump, either don't realize or don't care that he and his allies like Bezos are eating up their seed corn of media coverage.

That’s not counting for inflation and modest cost of living raises. It’s really only 22,000 years Rodger./s

Assuming he is making about 3% interest on his net worth (he is gaining wealth much faster than that). He could do it about twice a day and still make a profit just on his existing wealth forever essentially.

Alas, not all wealthy media owners can be Charles Foster Kane.

My dad was a (good) sportswriter. He says that's too much money.

He obv wouldn’t have all of that in cash but that sum of money earning a return equivalent to cash (about 4% today) would net him 27 million dollars in interest *each day* so he could light a lot more than $1million on fire every day and not be any less rich.
