    For him though… That’s like a quarter.

    Today, yes, but back then he was just another dot com millionaire. Remember, that footage was before PayPal, so he probably had about 300M, tops. A million was still only a fraction of his wealth, but it was still a noticeable fraction.

      Even so, I seriously doubt the $1500 he could have spent to learn to drive the thing properly would have been a serious expense.
