I hope they start trying to out do each other by buying players out their own money 😂. Billionaire 1 "Morning, guys I just spent 80 million in *****"

Billionaire 2 "hahaha 80 million I have just bought ***** for 140 million!"

Billionaire 3 "hahaha you should see what I have just done to the shit tip up the road"

Seriously though still waiting for the wheels to fall off.

Is there any photos of the 3 billionaires at the match today, I know there was 2 billionaires missing. If anyone wonders why I keep saying billionaires it's to emphasise we have so many floating about. 😂

iv always wondered, what with life being so short, if you have ten billion, why do you want 15 billion? why not just relax and enjoy life

A good question mate. I know and have worked with/for a number of high net worth people in the £10-300M bracket and whilst they do enjoy beautiful homes, luxury cars, boats and planes and great schools for their kids etc they are all still driven to get up every day and keep making more money. Maybe it's a personality type (driver-drivers), partly there appears to be an element of competitiveness with peers too, the buzz of winning appears to be like a drug with the production of more money giving only a brief high so its quickly onto the next deal. I had a client sell one of his businesses for around £20M profit which appeared to satisfy him for about 2 or 3 days. These peoples minds are swirling non stop it seems to me, they would die of boredom just relaxing, playing sports, going on holiday etc they cannot switch off from what drives them to do what they do.

You as in the Newcastle fans didn’t though did you? Mr Shepherd and a couple of your ex-players contributed as per your article but not a mention of any donations from 52,000 screaming geordies at every home game!

Facts are we’re potentially going to be bought by a load of wealthy investors and it’s absolutely f***ing killing you!!!! can imagine you being that envious it’s probably hard to breath!!! never mind I’m sure Steve Bruce will pull you out the shite!

Not wanting to piss on your parade, but Dell whilst fabulously rich by anyone's standards, is a relative pauper compared to Sheik Mansour's family who seem to be worth $1tn.

City in effect are owned by UAE's sovereign wealth fund.

At least we are not owned by someone who's companies financial results have had to be postponed are at risk of having their shares suspended.
Share value down 36% this year.

Photo by Ian Horrocks/Sunderland AFC via Getty Images With an ownership change in the offing, should we dare to feel excited about what this could all mean for Sunderland’s short and long term financial future?

I think maybe only 2 were. 1 of the 3 VIPs looked much younger than the other 2 and didn’t look exactly like the previous photos I’ve seen. There was a resemblance though so could have been a relative but that’s a complete guess.

It's all relative really. I work with similar people and a lot of them have gotten to the point where money is just keeping score really.
