For some reason Brookfield Asset Management always gets left out of this - they gave $250 million USD to the purchase of X/Twitter.
It was run by Mark Carney at the time, who is now Canada's Prime Minister.

I think a big reason why guys like this will spend 100 million to avoid paying 10 million is that they don't want to give up a single dollar if it goes toward something they can't control.

I lose it whenever I see anything Minoan and that spiral cup is sending me into orbit. 😻
Something lovely for the weekend!
Minoan cups made by Bronze Age potters some 3,800 years ago!
