$7.7 million could build a nice, self contained hideaway way back in the mountains. With a nice lake.

Or a nice sailboat for a round the world cruise.

True.

So gimme a honkin’ big diamond that I can sell and buy something useful....:)

I agree, that kind of cash could buy a nice hideaway. I have been studying such for fifty years starting with Cold War fallout shelters (I was a kid, then).

But (real question) doesn’t Google Earth and other satellite surveillance make escape shelters like that obsolete? Unless it’s an underground bunker?

Anyway, kind of sad how a ninety year old woman buys herself that huge rock, then is gone from this earth a year later. Heck, I’m sixty and I keep asking myself, should I still be buying guns like they’re going out of style?
