Well, wouldn't Vivendi atleast provide for some of that?

BigNamek...

 

[Parrot of doom]

He won't be paying them. His company will. There is a big difference there.

 

[[Matt]]

he got rich by investing in microsoft stocks in the early and mid 90s right at the time of the big programmer boom.

 

[Ikerous]

[Death.Trap]

Didn't Hl2 cost 40 million to make?

 

[moppe]

I work as a pilot in the Swedish Air Force.
I drive a 100$ plane at work.
Therefore, I'm rich.

Look, there is a difference between personal and company.
I'll say he's rich.

Damn the Sweedish Air Force are cheap bastards!. $100 plane? You drive it: it has a steering wheel and clutch and stuff?

Yeah he's probably well rich. He runs a succesful company and i'm sure he has quite a big salary each month.

 

[Burn]

100$? What is it, a broken biplane?

 

[Sprafa]

I think he meant 100$ thousand or million

 

[qckbeam]

He's rich. Trust me, the man is filthy rich

 

[bgesley426]

I think he meant 100$ thousand or million

100 thousand is not close to a million.

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

Gabe is rich.

Some of you might not know, most do I'm sure, that he was one of the bandwagon Microsoft people. He made a huge amount of money simply then (far earlier than HL) when he sold his stock, and I'm sure he still has some.

 

[Alig]

I think he meant 100$ thousand or million

Yeah i know i was joking about.

If it's for a country's air force then probably 100million as air forces don't tend to have cheap planes - only fighter jet's mainly and other rapidly fast planes!.

On the other hand i actually think he was making a joke with that statement anyway...unless he really is a fighter pilot? :O Combat aircraft's dont cost 100million to my knowledge, more like 50 - 70 million each.

Edit/ ....But then when i think about it - $100 million probably is about £70 million....
