So what's the big deal? $2.6 million divided by 100 kids equals $26,000 per kid. According to the following info, only 10 kids are hosted at the Ranch per one week session. I suspect that there are a lot of rich people who wouldn't think anything of dropping $26K for a week's vacation.

260,000
oops my bad. I was thinking 26 mil for some reason
Actually if $800,000 is of the $2,600,000 is for depreciation, that would work out to be $17,000 a week for the yearly total of 100 kids. In addition, the Imus Ranch pays for all the travel expenses of the kids. Since some come from foreign shores, this doesn't appear to be exorbitant.
I sometimes get bored with all of Don's talk about the ranch on his show. However, there is no doubt that it is his all consuming passion.
For a one week experience.
