Once that much metal becomes available, the price will drop to cheaper than water !

There will be no monopoly cause there are far to many space rocks.
So the final winner will be the cheapest route !

Flying a couple hundred million miles to get metals you can find on earth is a way to put yourself trillions in debt...

$5.4 trillion worth of platinumA source of that magnitude will produce rapidly declining price on earth and will not be worth trillion once it is sold. Yes people and companies and some governments will become wealthier but not to the static analysis extent and things that require those assets in their manufacture and use will become a lot cheaper..

The real values to be found in outer space are water worlds and a way to get to them.
To: Red Badger
precious metals are going to need to get a lot more precious for an investment to pay off that requires escaping earths gravity with equipment and fuel to remotely mine and process for minerals, and then bring it safely back to earth. Gold, for example, is quite heavy and seems like a re-entry concern. Escaping gravity is only half the problem.

Assuming that asteroid is spherical, its value works out to not quite $400 per cubic foot.
How many cubic feet would be returned to earth on each trip?

There’s already a trillionaire family; how can another be the first?
They are European and have been into banking for several centuries. They are low profile though.

So a space miner becomes a Trillionaire. What then? I guess you get to work on making your second trillion.

one rock measuring 3,000ft across that contains $5.4 trillion worth of platinum. Good news for consumers purchasing new catalytic converters.
