The NBA on Wednesday announced severe punishments for the LA Clippers-- including the loss of five future first-round draft picks, a fine of $30 million and a yearlong suspension of owner Steve Ballmer – for violating salary cap circumvention rules in a case involving star Kawhi Leonard.
It’s late so my math is probably broken, but… Steve Ballmer is worth about $150 billion. A fine of $30 million is roughly 1/5000 of his wealth.
For comparison, if you’re worth $100k… That’s the equivalent of a $20 fine.
There are no good billionaires.
While you are 1000% correct…I bet an actual $20 fine would drive most billionaires into a violent rage
