Not bad, but you only get to "rent" her...and the cost goes up if caught...just ask Spitzer.
For $4K I'd rather have something like this, and play with it as long as I'd like to...actually, $4K a little low for this one, but you get the idea...

Money can't buy you happiness, but it sure can buy your choice of misery.

Even "...one hundred billion dollars!" isn't very much these days.

Been studied, actually. Money does buy happiness, but only for a short period. Expectations rapidly adjust to the new status, and prior level of 'happiness' returns.

I suspect that someone cannot count very well. What's pictured is actually a little more than a half billion dollars. I've seen a billion in cash and that is not a billion.
A "brick" of hundreds is 10 straps consisting of 100 bills per strap. Looks to me that each pallet is 7x5bricks per level and 16 levels high. That is 560 bricks per pallet or $56,000,000 per pallet. 12 pallets is $672,000,000 and one of those pallet's is clearly not full.

I don't play for money, but I'm sure I could find you some action...especially if you're willing to give some weight, like maybe the breaks and the 8?
