Haven’t been in a casino since company-paid trips and junkets to LV and Reno stopped. Used to go through a roll of quarters at the slots and quit.

But only her bankroll.

When you’ve got a portfolio of $2-3 billion and can generate $100 million a year or so in investment returns without breaking a sweat, spending $144 million to be queen of California is no big deal, even if you lose. You make it all back in a couple of years. It’s the equivalent of one of us commoners going to the casino and dropping a thousand or so.
