Russian Buys Moon

Moon AP Moon

"I would buy you the moon." What is more romantic than that? I mean, no lover really wants to own the moon--cold, lifeless, no day spas--but the sentiment is out of this world.

Apparently Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich isn't into poetic exaggeration. He actually went out and bought a hundred acres of the moon for his fiancée Dasha. Crunch Gear reports Abramovich bought his own personal moonbase through The Lunar Embassy, which claims it is the only company on Earth which can legally sell real estate off Earth--where land is cheap. Lunar land costs $24 an acre (wonder if you buy mineral rights with that?). The price includes a $1.51 "lunar tax." Not sure what that's all about.

Abramovich is not averse to throwing his fortune around. As I earlier reported this year, he bought a home in France for a reported $500 million. That's a half billion--30 of those and you've got an auto bailout.

But apparently even Abramovich has had to tighten up a little in this credit crisis. His upcoming wedding reportedly may not be quite as out of this world as earlier planned. But now his wedding gift is.

wealth =/ intelligence

Can you really do that?

you really think he doesn't know wtf he's doing ? :1orglaugh

Great work if you can get it...
 

Yes. That "Lunar Embassy" group really does sell lunar real estate. How they think they're gonna make good on it, and why people actually give them money, I dunno.

I just wish I had thought of it before they did...I mean, selling stuff you don't really own, that requires no upkeep and all you gotta do is cash the checks? Title says it all...

Hey D, how you doing? im watching rotaru concert, chanel 639 lol





I fucked him

There was a company in Chatham, Ontario, Canada that did this as well and they ended up going to jail for it. If it were actually legal i would be down with buying a few acres.

Some people have too much money

I hereby declare myself the only entity allowed to sell land on the Sun. This post makes it officially official. Who wants to be the first to buy their very own 'Sunbase'? 1 acre = $5 or 2 bags of Werther's Originals.

Line starts here |

Imagine the day when we do start selling land on the moon.... That will be some expensive land!

I bought a star named for my dad...does that mean he owns it???

that is crazy you could feed most of Africa for that!

Moonside property
 

...and when they do start selling actual tracts of land on the moon, and people start moving there...you know the internet access is gonna suck. Dial-up will look good in comparison. So porn on the moon will be slow in coming...lol.

So...who wants to invest in my "Fiber to the Moon" ISP and Adult Web Hosting company? We'll get a Ralph Cramden look alike to do 'To the moon!' commercials :winkwink:

It's all fun and games until a real government takes over the moon...

how the fuck are they going to get there anyway? :pimp

That is so fucking stupid.

Idiots....... !

Its a big money making scam...what if i buy the same property as he from the US or someone else from UK ;-) lol or heck even a Canadian can .....ey

All of us would do crazy things if crazy rich :winkwink:

Publicity Stunt.

Forgot, 96% out of you are too stupid to wipe your own ass. Nevermind.

:thumbsup

Alrighty then ?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

When it's possible to colonise the moon and land really is for sale it's probably going to be cheap in order to attract pioneers. (Actually being able to breathe and live on your land could probably be a bit more expensive :) )

Land in my area cost 1 pound per acre when it was "the new world" in the early-mid 1800s. Now to buy an acre here would cost at least $USD350k.

OMG its mine!

hahahahaha

I'll take 5 acres man, probably a good place to grow sunflowers.

Who here is good at geometry? Will someone please calculate how much money will be made after he sells every inch of the sun?

hey Marina, i'm not bad, how you been ? rotaru concert? lol... get on msn we'll chat ;p

Im homeless, hungry.... need some money to buy da moon! Please, help!
