Tottenham are about to pocket €100 million ($133.68 million). Can you imagine what this amount can do? Perhaps this can make you understand how much 1 million dollars is worth. Let’s start from the beginning. What can you buy with… $20,000? A modest quantity, to start with. You could put it to different uses. You could buy a nice car. You could organize a concert for your neighborhood. You could equip 5 soldiers with M16 assault rifles, or buy a light transport vehicle. You could start a small family business. $200,000? Getting better. That would be 10 cars, 10 concerts, 50 soldiers of 10 little shops. Or you could go for some of these: An apartment in the suburbs. A sports center. A High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle like the ones the US military uses. Start a consulting or software business. $1,000,000 Your first million dollars! With it, you could own 50 cars, run 50 concerts, buy 250 rifles, operate a network of 50 stores, spend the year in 5 different houses, have 5 military vehicles or own 5 startups. But you could also… Buy a luxury house, or a yacht. Build a big park. Buy an AMRAAM missile for medium range. Although I heard that Tomahawks, priced a bit higher, are free unless they strike the target. Setup a manufacturing line. $10,000,000 (ten million dollars) At this point, people no longer see any difference. $10m and $100m sounds pretty much like the same thing, but they’re not. $10m would get you 500 cars, 500 concerts, 2.500 rifles, 500 shops, 50 houses, 50 sports courts, 50 armored vehicles, 50 startups, 10 luxury houses, 10 city parks, 10 air-to-air missiles, 10 factories, or… A private jet. A hospital A supersonic fighter airplane A Portland cement factory. $100,000,000 (one hundred million dollars) If you get here, you can buy 5,000 cars, run 5,000 for your friends and family, equip 25,000 soldiers, own 5,000 stores, 500 apartments, 500 sport courts, 500 military jeeps, 500 startups (do you even have that many ideas?), 100 luxury houses, city parks for 100 cities, 100 missiles, 100 factories, 10 private jets, 10 hospitals, 10 fighter aircrafts or: A big hotel by the beach, or a movie about your life. If you get $100m, you probably have a good story for it. A highway. A military transport aircraft like the Airbus A-400M. An airline. And that is how much Bale is worth to Real Madrid! Crazy football!
