Real Wealth







Insecurity Sells.

Octopus total cost: about $250 million

"Even before Octopus hit the water, however, a new competitor was emerging. Larry Ellison, the hypercompetitive Oracle Corp chief, started building the top-secret LE120 project with the same German shipbuilder that made Allen's boat.
When Ellison started building the LE120, it was slated to be 120 meters or about 393.5 feet. Yet as word got out that Octopus would top 400 feet, the LE120 started expanding." - Richistan, Robert Frank 

Billionaire one-upsmanship.
