What to buy with Neymar’s transfer fee?
This week Neymar finalized his move towards PSG. The outrageous transfer fee of € 222 million ($ 264 / £ 200) even doubles the € 105 million of Pogba’s transfer from Juventus to Manchester United last year. Insiders even predict a one billion transfer fee will happen within ten years. Has the football (no, don’t call it soccer) world gone mad? I always like those posts pointing out what you could have bought instead. Let’s give it a try.
- The squads of all other teams in the French Ligue 1, except Monaco
- A dozen of Greek islands. ‘Only’ € 110 million is enough to buy seven islands which actually have a price tag. You can use the remaining € 112 million to bid on other islands.
- The Red Cross can provide food for over 2.5 million people for one year
- Neymar’s transfer fee beats Luxembourg’s national expenditures on defense
- The four highest sold Van Gogh paintings
- 172 million Steem or ‘just’ 77,000 Bitcoins
- Approximately 100 Bugatti Veyron’s
- The production costs of 44 episodes of the Game of Thrones
- Almost four Joint Strike Fighters F-35
- The production costs of the Fate and the Furious
- Staying in the Royal Penthouse Suite of the President Wilson in Geneva – the most expensive hotel in the world – for over 12 years
It seems funny but not sure if it actually is...
What makes u doubt if its not true mate...
Hmmm...can think of buying a kool island...own my own yatch and private jet...of course lease them when not in use...and be the 3rd partner in steem!
