He gambles for fun. This man is richer than Dangote, so it's not this miserable yatch that would give him sleepless night.

If you have #20000 and lose #200 in a bet, it is not so bad that's how rich men gamble. But the poor man would have #20000 and he will gamble with #19500 lose everything and be expecting pity from people grin

The comment in bold is false.

Abrahamovic is worth $7.1billion as at 2022 while Dangote is worth $14billion as at 2022. Roman Abrahamovic is nowhere richer than Dangote

Abramovich is a serial Gambler!


Says who?
Do you know what's $170m? This is a whooping #85B that can make 85 Nigerian's a Billionaires. It can pay annual wages of more than 5 Chelsea players. Not even CR7 or Messi earns this amount from football in a year.

Logically, if the money is not as valuable or 'pinching' as you observed they wouldn't have place bet on it. Simple!
It won't even make the headlines if it wasn't valuable and pinching. What a huge loss

When you talk about earning in dollars, stop converting it to naira. That is when it starts looking like a problem to you.

Someone spends 50 dollars on breakfast. You covert it to Naira, that is where the problem starts. You'll now start wondering the kind of food that would cost that much.

Na lie joor; he doesn't want to lose his yacth (due to sanctions) so he arranged to "loose" it to his friend in a poker game. After the sanctions are lifted his friend will "loose" it back to him. Smart chess players.

Value is relative.

$170 million might be plenty to you and I, and even perhaps to the writer of the article. But it is a mere fraction of value to a man like Roman Abramhimovich who has sunk billions into Chelsea for fun.

The figure lost is not up to 3% of his net worth.

Even having said that, we must then add some context, which is to say that he probably won't spend more than 3 billion for the rest of his life anyway.

The yatch is relatively nothing to him.


Mr . keep your presumptuous relativity to yourself cus I'd put that into consideration already. Maybe you think it's one village naive guy who hasn't seen money in print and digits that is making up this.

$170m anywhere in the world or to anyone in the world is huge.
The value of money is proportional to what it can purchase. Comparing it to the percentage of his worth is ridiculously naive to say the least.
Do you know that the loss of 0.2% of a billionaire is more huge a loss than a millionaire that lose 10% of his worth?

What you can do with money universally matters more than what it is to you. Simple Economics.

I am seeing this from another angle. This could be a trick so as to transfer his assets to another person so the uk cant seize it as they are currently seizing the properties of oligarchs

I have noticed that you always make stupid comments. $170M is a lot of money even to Elon musk. That money is over 50% of budget of transfers of the biggest clubs in the world. If he loses that every week (sin e to you it is chicken change) he would be bankrupt under a few months.

There's no problem in me converting the money to naira so that I can pass the message simply to the Nigerian I quoted his mention.

However, I've make it clear universally by giving an example of what that money can do using the two richest footballers that earned in dollars. $170m is huge anywhere in the world or to anyone in the world.

only poor people would say $170m is nothing to a billionaire. That is why once they see small money the squander it in clubs and on girls because they dont understand the value of money and why they remain poor. $170m is a lot of money even to Elon musk. Ignore that fool that calls himself smartypanties

Definitely what you sound like.

If the topic is the value of loss to Mr. Abrahmovich, then the only question is of the subjective/relative value. There is no concept of objective value in economics, btw. Value is inherently a concept of demand - and if you understand that, the point is clear.

But i doubt you'd get it so carry on.

keep talking rubbish there. Perhaps only 3 footballers can claim they are worth more than $170m and when I say worth, I dont mean transfer market worth o. I mean net worth. You think $170m is beans? He can afford it but it is a huge cost to him

Asset Protection Mechanism against sanctions by enemy states.

Follow that up with title change and have the friend sell it out and concentrate the proceeds in a trust for future reconciliation.

Smart move.
