- ktRolster 10y agoYeah, it (more or less) happened to him actually: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303654804576343763766328484 http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014240527023036548045763437...
- michael_h 10y agoHow strange is it to be Larry Ellison? Actually, all parties in that dispute are weird. Dude expects the world to freeze around him (who knew that redwoods would grow), so he offers to double the landowner's investment, giving them an $8 million dollar profit...and they don't accept. Know what I'd do with $8 million dollars in real estate profit? Retire immediately.
