the taxes for it would be a lot of there were sales tax, not all states have a sales tax but you would have to licence and have a title for it...all of that, for an air craft would be about $450

i would also buy a lot of cars and bulid a huge garage with a little aparentment attached to it...AND IT WOULD HAVE A PAINT BOOTH!...i need a paint booth

Out of the whole 70 mil, I would expect that about 35 would remain after tax. Figure you only get about $500,000 out of every million (my cousin told me while watching Jeopardy when Ken Jennings was doing well). This includes income taxes and sales taxes.

I'll bet that he took a fall for one reason or another, either because he was getting sick of the whole thing or there was some kind of bribe with the network.
