    I think almost anyone would for that much cash.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      Maybe. Mrs BP had a marriage proposal from a Texan many-hundred-millionaire. She turned him down.

      What a happy she did not marry and divorce him before meeting me.

        £13 billion mining empire inherited from her late father, Lang Hancock, in 1992.

        Yeah, takes a lot of hard work to be given something by your dad.

          Well according his wikipedia entry he was a bit of a ****, so she had to tolerate him until he died. Unfortunately she seems to have inherited some of his charm too.


          Lang Hancock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

          Hancock is quoted as saying,[15]
          "Mining in Australia occupies less than one-fifth of one percent of the total surface of our continent and yet it supports 14 million people. Nothing should be sacred from mining whether it’s your ground, my ground, the blackfellow’s ground or anybody else’s. So the question of Aboriginal land rights and things of this nature shouldn’t exist."
          In a 1984 television interview [16]
          Hancock suggested forcing unemployed indigenous Australians - particularly "no-good half-castes" - to collect their welfare cheques from a central location: "And when they had gravitated there, I would dope the water up so that they were sterile and would breed themselves out in the future."

              Isn't this what's called 'shooting the messenger'?

                Sigh, "no monopoly" on becoming a millionaire. You just need hard work, ambition and the ability to ruthlessly exploit a nation and it's resources. Easy peasy you peasants!
