“..Triple A pitcher, Matt White, is the lucky dude who bought 50 acres from his great aunt in 2003 to help cover her nursing-home care, hoping one day to build a house there. He later found some rock — well, not just some rock, 24 million tons of highly prized rock — that sells for around $100 a ton. On paper, and in the papers, he became the “baseball billionaire.”
“…Forget for a moment the huge cost of excavating the stuff and stick to the fantasy math. White’s $2.4 billion windfall would place him 131st on the Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest Americans in 2006, $100 million ahead of Mark Cuban.”
2.4 Billion…Yeah, Billion.
