A stark contrast with his attitude at Disney when their ventures into Ice Hockey (Anaheim) and Baseball (Angels) cost Disney north of $300 million, it could have been worse, Disney’s proposed $100 million ‘ investment’ into The Red Penguins (aka CSKA Moscow) fell apart when the Russian co- investors took fright when the Russian Mafia got involved.
Clearly Eisner is free spending with other people’s money but somewhat parsimonious with his own, maybe that’s why he has £1.67 illion.
That's a businessman for you WB, always spend someone else's money, never your own.
