10K, which is a lot of money to me and you, probably isn't too much to the
guy who owns (owned?) the entire catalog of Beatles songs.
The space needed for a full size statue, which would be a big deal in my
house, probably is just a corner of one of his many not very used rooms in

So... huge fan? Not necessarily. But at least moderately interested at any rate.
I'm happy for him that he has servants. I personally would hate to have to
dust that thing. :-)
