Tour firm OceanGate, which runs $250,000-a-seat expeditions to the wreck,

fucking mind-boggling

The price includes the chance to become part of the attraction for future tourists.

I can think of a lot of things I would rather spend $250,000 on. I guess it's worth it to some!

I imagine the people that are paying $250k per seat are very very wealthy. Would you send $1 on a bottle of cold water at an event? As fast as you answered that, there are people that spend $250k with the same ease. To them $250k is like $1.

I can tell you thats not me.

Who needs a million dollar idea when you can have a $250,000 per person idea and head to the local aquarium.
