You could buy BMW Group if it was big enough. Its utterly rediculous how much money is involved. I'm working on an $11 Billion (captial investment required) Aus gas project at the moment (Gorgon for those that have heard of it). Basically, take the dollars involved in a big multinational company, then up them by an order of mangnitude.

Chevrons revenue was something like $130 Billion USD last year, afaik, NZ's GDP is a little over $100 Billion NZD. Stupid.

By the way, don't worry about buying an electric car just yet, the price of oil is going to descend to reasonable levels again. Some big projects are coming online in Russia and the Middle East are uping production. I'll take a punt and say $40-45 USD a barrel.

Lease /sell commercial real estate, not houses. Office/industrial/retail buildings. Great job if you like listening to people who lie. Commission cheques mostly make up for it.

Those Mitsi vans, ever notice how they'd get stuck, but you could get out and push it off an obstacle with one hand? Hopeless.

Contract to EDS / Telecom as a infrustructure design specialist. Have been doing it for about 9 years and worked my way up the ranks.
