Starting a production line for something like UAV drones seems doable. I don't understand how much 100kk is (and I assume most lemmings too), but I think like there are a lot of ways to make it more expensive. If the baseline is constructing an existing model from imported components, then customizing it, printing or casting conponents oneself, doing R&D - everything can change the price.

Lol, just buy one house in the US.

Most homes in the US don't break a million in up front cost, unless you're buying in one of the very popular "reality warp" locations that are in absurdly high demand (SF Bay area, Redmond, Dallas, New York, etc).

True. Maybe... 3 houses instead?

The national average house price in the US is about $300k, so you'd need to buy about 333 houses to spend the $100 million

I could make that work. 🤔

I'll become the Oprah of houses. You get a house, you get a house, everyone gets a house.

Well if everyone has a price, I'm gonna get that girl!
