1.7 Million Dollar Profit Wholesale Deal?!
I just came across this article on Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg buying all his neighbor's homes around him. There's now a lawsuit from one of the seller's because they were selling to a buyer who then wholesaled it to Zuckerberg at a 1.7 million dollar markup!!! That wholesaler basically blackmailed Zuckerberg saying he would build a new mansion overlooking Zuckerberg's master bedroom if Zuckerberg didn't buy the property from him. As if 1.7 million wasn't enough, the wholesaler is now suing Zuckerberg because he didn't perform other parts of their agreement like introducing him to Silicon Valley people. It's a really interesting read and my far the biggest wholesale deal I've ever heard of.
