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.
