He got 2.5 Billion from Microsoft, plus he was taxed by the govenrment (as usual). After that he paid for the house, so he's 70 million deeper in the hole and still wealthy to boot. 

Not very clever then, in my country you can sell big companies without paying a single cent in tax.

I just think he wanted to say he outbid Jay Z and Beyonce (LOL). What is the sales tax like (and exemptions) in your country?
