The Powerball jackpot is up to $700 million. That's a lot of money.
Here's what you could buy with $700 mil:
- 3 Margaret Hunt Hill bridges, the original of which cost $182 million
- 304 of Jordan Spieth's $2.3 million Preston Hollow mansion
- 3.5 Museum Towers, the original of which cost $200 million
- Nearly 7 Klyde Warren Parks (which cost $106 mil to construct -- though that doesn't include operating cost)
- 5,303 Tesla Model Xs, priced at $132,000 each
- 13 yachts like the one in the Entourage movie, which was valued at $52 million in 2007 dollars
- 112,500,000 bottles of André champagne, estimated at $6 per bottle
- 225 private Guns N Roses reunion concerts (they are reportedly asking $3 million per show)
- 450 million pastor on corn tacos from Taqueria El Si Hay, priced at $1.50 each
- 45 million copies of Hot Pursuit on DVD
- A tall skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks every day, 365 days a year, for 515,539 years (at 2016 Starbucks prices)
But you're taking the cash lump sum, right?
That'll net you $428 million, which means -- sorry, poor guy -- you can only have 314,370 years of tall vanilla lattes at Starbucks. Here's hoping you share.
Whether you win the $700 mil or the $428 mil cashout, here's what you can't buy:
- The Dallas Cowboys, who are valued at a cool $4 billion.
- The New York Yankees, a $3.2 billion franchise
- Facebook: You're a long way from its $425 billion valuation.
- The "Mona Lisa," which isn't for sale, but is valued at $780 million or more.
- The Waggoner Ranch, a 510,000-acre ranch in Texas that could go for $725 million.
Good luck out there.
