    No one is really ready to get a check for $2.5B.

    That $70M house was 2.8% of his payout from Microsoft. That would be like someone with $10M buying a $280,000 house. The house wasn’t that crazy of a purchase in terms of price, but didn’t do anything to help give him ties to a community, which is probably what he really needed. Maybe he thought it would get him into the Hollywood community, but he was a fish out of water.
