Yeah unreal.  Maybe that dude can come down and buy that $9.9M house that Kurt just did the VT on?  Or several of the properties down here.  Wow $240M but less after Uncle Sam gets his piece (nice problem to have).

$240M got dumped in my lap, I'd have a heckofalot of money to give away. Seriously, what does one do with more than $10M that doesn't involve some pretty extreme excesses... :idontno:

So is that a 20 year payout of $500 per year, before taxes? Woo- hoo! Party.

Very often that is the case. You know Alan Greenspan recently won a Porsche, but he cannot accept gifts over $25 per person per year (or something like that), plus he doesn't even own a car, so he is donating it to charity.

You know...when I started my job we had to go over that.  Working in the publicity department we are in the world of "gifting" - or giving editors and celebs our stuff so they will wear/ write about it- just plain kissing ass.  At my old job around Christmas, all the assistants would send out NICE gifts from clients.  I sent out Juicy sweatsuits which retail at about $215 a set- because that was my client.  I got a Coach bag, spa treaments, crazy stuff.  But now being in a more corporate setting we have to be very very careful about what we accept and how we do it.
