Having been recently valued at R972,800,000, by myself, I did some quick calculations and figured out that, that is £80 Million, which by coincidence is what Real Madrid paid Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo, and by pure fluke, is what this post is about.
In the middle of one of the worst recessions in ages £80 Million seems a bit much for one soccer player (or one blogger), so I took it upon myself to find out what other bargains you could get for that much cash.
6. A house
Only worth half as much as Pretty Boy
This seven-bedroom house is situated in the north London district of Hampstead. It has a bullet-proof front door, stone staircase constructed using 150-year-old carving techniques and an indoor swimming pool with gold-plated mosaic tiles.
It also boasts a gym, sauna, ballroom and cinema, a private hair salon and a one-tonne bathroom basin carved from a single piece of white Iranian onyx.
This property recently became the most expensive property ever sold in Britain at $US70 million, which is only £42,659,605.95, which would leave you with a wopping £37,340,394.05, to pay your gardener and buy some socks.
5. A car
The only thing in the post more sexy than Ronaldo
You can buy 88 Bugatti Veyrons and still have over R10 Million to invest in AIG stocks.
What someone would do with that many cars, or AIG stocks, I don’t know but I’m trying to make a flipping point, OK?
4. Some food
Food for Africa (the south part)
You would be able to buy a McFattie’s Big Mac for every single person in South Africa and have more than 7 million burgers left to keep in the freezer to help prepare for the next recession.
3. A country
Limited time only, while stocks last, at Glomail and participating outlets
You could buy Jacob Zuma, Shabir Shaik AND Julius Malema. Political influence, jail time, and negative media included with purchase. Items not sold seperately.
2. One soccer player
£80 Million Abs
It’s a little difficult to explain why this guy is worth more than feeding an entire country at lunch time, because it literally makes no sense. But Real Madrid seem to think he was worth it, and as long as their cheque doesn’t bounce I don’t think Manchester United will care.
To be fair to Madrid the only game they have lost this season is the one he didn’t play in.
1. This guy
Value for money
Much more obvious why this one would be worth £80 Million, so I won’t explain.
