Criminy ... I'd love to work there. If he needs computer support or a ranch hand I'd be all for it.

Does this make Gibson a feudal lord where his vassals are tied to him in a feudal contract?

Gibson's Vassals: "We pledge our loyalty to thee as you offer your investiture. Long live lord Mel Gibson!"

seriuously, is that only $19 million, to buy that? That seems like a steal (not that I am in a position to do it). It just seems like it would be much more expensive.
