    Technically, the guy bought a team for like, 50 grand. Banged alot of crazy bitches, and sold the team for $2,000,000,000. I'd let him run my business.

    And the team lost like 2 million games during his ownership, give or take.

    Terrible CEO who lucked into a great investment.

    Homer's brother Herb Simpson:
    Herbert Powell, who looks just like Homer, except he is taller, slimmer and has more hair, is the head of the automobile manufacturer Powell Motors in Detroit, which is in need of new ideas. He is very rich, but is unhappy not knowing who he is and where he comes from. He is overjoyed upon hearing of his half-brother and invites the entire Simpson family to stay at his mansion. Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are enthralled by Herb's wealthy lifestyle and kind personality, although Marge constantly worries about spoiling her kids. Herb then decides that Homer, being an average American, is the perfect person to design a new car for his company.

    Homer is given entirely free rein in the design, but is at first too timid to voice an opinion, as Herb's designers begin to design the car with their own ideas in mind. When Herb gets word of this, he gives Homer a pep talk that sends him back to the designers determined to build the car with all sorts of weird effects like bubble domes, tail fins and several horns that play "La Cucaracha". At the unveiling of the new car, Herb is horrified to find that the car is a badly-designed and hideously styled monstrosity that costs US$82,000, leaving Powell Motors bankrupt and out of business, while Herb's mansion is foreclosed and he loses everything he ever worked for; as he departs Detroit on a bus, he angrily remarks to Homer that as far as he is concerned, he has no brother.

    I like to believe someone who turned low six figures into 2 billion dollars is lucky ...

    1. Find good investment
    2. Fuck hot chics half your age
    3. Continue to fuck hot chics as you age and they stay the same age
    4. Rake in cash on your investment as you don't invest in it but fans continue to spend money
    5. Sell the investment for a record amount of cash
    6. Still fucking hot chics, even as your stomach continues to grow like it is an elephant tumor

    Epic success as a CEO if you ax me.
