Question: If you had $20 million to spare, why in God’s name would you want to spend it on some guy’s dopey kid? Think of all the strippers you could hire to staff your yacht and your mansion with that kind of money laying around!
Reports RT.com:
A failed Saudi businessman has put up his own son up for sale on Facebook. He claims that with all doors closed to him, he couldn’t see any other way to provide for his wife and daughter.
Saud bin Nasser Al Shahry wants more than 73 million UAE Dirhams for the boy, a sum equivalent to almost $20 million, reports Qatar’s Al Sharq newspaper. A deal on the boy would offer “a decent life to his mother and sister rather than living in poverty.”
The resourceful businessman said his debt-collecting firm had been ruled illegal by a local court and had to be shut down. When Al Shahry approached the Labor Office for financial assistance, the authorities allegedly refused him aid as the ministry does not provide help to individuals over 35 years old.
Al Shahry is ready to go to court to complete the “sale procedures,” says the newspaper. The ex-businessman’s only stipulation is to know in which city the purchaser resides.
For $20 million this kid better be able to golf like Tiger Woods, throw a football like Drew Brees, and hit baseballs like Albert Pujols. He should also be able to sing and dance like Justin Timberlake. At the very LEAST!
