I don't like Payless, but unlike Rmoney he actually earned his money.

Prince Bandar Bin Sultan sells his luxurious Aspen estate to Hedge Fund billionaire

Jun 6 2012

John Alfred Paulson, a legendary American hedge fund manager, who became multi-billionaire overnight by predicting the real estate collapse in 2007, followed by an equally perfect timed bet that large banks would survive the financial crisis and that the price of gold would scale a new high, is known for accumulating much of his net worth through the controversial practice of short selling subprime mortgages. This strategic businessman, also known for earning what has been estimated as the largest payday in the history of Wall Street, a mindboggling $4.9 billion, has now purchased the world-famed Hala Ranch of Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdul-Aziz al Saud, along with other property in Aspen for $49 million. However, this deal is Mr. Paulson’s second in the opulent Aspen area in two years. As he bought another 12,500 sq. ft lavish Aspen ranch for $24.5 million in year 2010, which was considered the most expensive single sale in Aspen in that times.

(snip)

Hala Ranch, an opulent Aspen estate earlier owned by Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdul-Aziz al Saud, was once the most expensive property ever listed in the United States in year 2006 for $135 million. This lavish estate includes a 56,000 Sq. ft main house that boasts 15 full bedrooms, 16-bathrooms, beauty salon, barber shop, a master suite, a professional kitchen, waterfall, along with several other buildings, a water-treatment plant, gas pumps, tennis court, stable, racquetball court and various other high-tech features, in fine working order.

We Denver should have kept him as a backup.

And as far as the Cowpatties are involved...

for him. I've seen better players traded for far less.

They have Osweiler as backup who should be better than Tebow. He knows how to throw.
