I doubt any of our kids are worth $50 million (give or take a few million). I think the closest I’ll ever get to looking out the ISS cupola is using an Oculus Rift in a bathtub.

Let me put it another way. I’m an investor. I want to invest $200 million in commercial real estate. Is this the best return on investment? Is there even a net positive return on investment?
