    The last I heard Michael Jackson had a net worth of several hundred million
    dollars.
    Not to say that could not evaporate through business dealings.
    However, even if he has total control over say 100,000,000$ to spend on the
    sole purpose of keeping himself youthful, and functionally conscious for an
    indeterminate period of time
    in excess of 200 years that is akin to a manhatten project to fight aging.

    That kind of commitment is far above what all of Bill Gates 50 plus billion
    has
    committed so far. I know it is comparing apples and oranges but I still
    have to think
    it is more efficient to watch as one person does whatever it takes than to
    watch
    another invest in a long tedious march.

    Better yet turn them both loose and wish them both success.
