Businesses spend billions on brand marketing for basically an image.

Now that I think about it, there are billions of things I don't expect to happen...For example, I don't expect a U.S. invasion by Norwegian housewives hell bent on taking over fast food restaurants and conveniences stores across the nation.

It's a huge success story with 100's (if not 1000's) of employees and billions in funding.

There are 300 million people in this country, and 6 billion people in the world.

Bankers that were making completely ridiculous loans but did so because it was adding to their bottom line in the short run but cost the banks billions in the long run.

My personal network of clients and resources is about 1 billion currently in worth.

With the Billions in dollars the city is attracting in investment, it might be a better long term play.  

@Jeff Rightmyer thanks for reaching out Jeff about me asking about Detroit properties, currently I wholesale in the area an was doing some research an saw the owner of the calvs Dan Gilbert invest a billion in downtown Detroit an had me thinking about investing.

Articles about getting 60% returns on your money are why so many investors find themselves desperate to unload their "money pits" despite their 30% down payment.I think Warren Buffett might know what he's talking when he says that just a generic index fund, purchased over time, is the best way for most people to get rich - and that even for billions, his trustees will be instructed to follow that strategy after his death.

I heard there are some new aerospace multi billion contracts coming to AV that could help.
