Sale is off! - or maybe not!

Losing £6m to them is like someone on £25,000 a year losing £75

 

Your Maths is way out

 

If theyre worth 2 billion, as reported, then 6m goes into that 333.333 times, divide £25,000 by 333.333 and you get £75. Obviously the 2bn is there net worth and the £25,000 is an annual wage but as these super rich don't really have annual salaries ive had to do it that way.

 

You wish.
As if you get 25k working as an Asda Colleague.

 

I don't work for anyone my friend

 

But they still won't like it. The super rich get that way by not losing £6m here and there.

 

It still isn't a comparison though. Net worth includes money tied up in other things which you would have to dispose of to get hold of.

 

its as good a comparison as you'll get

 

Fixed that for you.

 

Well, its not - as you say yourself it's their net worth, not their salary.

So it would be a bit like if you owned a home and car and stuff, all of which came to a value of £25k, and someone stole your TV (which was worth £75) that you had just bought and had spent 1 month trying to buy.

 

Ah, I see, so you are a jobseeker who is on his bike looking for work.

 

Yeah that's right

 

It is like comparing apples and pears. It is no comparison at all.

 

I know Sir Ken Morrison, he's a billionaire and he's undoubtedly the tightest **** I've ever met. Genuinely - he spends money like he's on benefits.

I guess that's how he's become a billionaire.

 

He spends money on cheap booze, cigarettes, takeaways and large screen TVs then says he can't afford to buy school uniforms for his kids?

 

You know him too?

 

So it's like comparing 2 bits of fruit?

 

They say he even has a Carlsberg era Adidas LFC manager's coat in red and grey.
