Hello lovelies.
Just sat waiting for my tablets to kick in watching The Professionals and reading the last 8 pages.
Oh I love ❤️ it here!
Anyway, two things.
1)It was mentioned upthread that Harry has spoken to Pa. I wonder if, while waiting to be connected he gets the automated message “Calls may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes” - because l bet a cheese hat every call he has with anyone in the RF is recorded.
2). Someone asked upthread about how are they paying for everything, I rather enojoy using chatGPT to help me work stuff out.
Anyhow, after working out mortgage payments/local property taxes/low end maintenance costs on Montecito monstrosity perviously -which came to £600k PA, Plus low level security on that place PLUS equal security on the bragged about but never seen Portuguese pad, plus running costs plus mortgage payments (estimated on a £5million property with an 80% mortgage LTV), Plus mortgage payments or substantial rent on the Cotswolds cottage they need a minimum of £2 million PA to cover that.
Now, this is EXCLUDING Security ( which is their single biggest cost estimated to be $£3.5 million, which is £2,584,000), school fees, staff, general spending on bills, food, clothes, travel, cars etc - so realistically we are looking at a post tax income of £6 million needed to just to maintain the lifestyle . And that’s not a Beckham lifestyle either.
Here’s where it gets interesting.
Look at this screenshot from Chat which has worked out how much capital would need to be invested to get £2 million. It’s quite a lot isn’t it even if you manage to get 8-9% return.
So we can clearly see why they are absolutely desperate for us to pay for their security. If Harry’s ‘after dinner speaking fees’ are now $50000AUd thats £26,610. Now, while that’s nice for us mere mortals Harry would have to work 213 days to get £3 million after tax. Do we really think there’s 213 companies every year who would pay him that to hear him speak about himself, his wife and his dead mother ? The after dinner circuit has plenty of grea5 orators on it who people actually WANT to hear.
And where would the other 3 million come from? “Jam”??
S9 here’s the screenshot.
They need around £40 million for £2 million post tax profit.
They haven’t got it. They are shitting themselves.
