Join The Fantasy Wealth League!

I've got the most scathingly brilliant idea!

FANTASY WEALTH LEAGUES!

You can't play pro football or baseball so, aside from watching religiously, you might live vicariously by joining a fantasy football or baseball league where you compete with others using the abilities and activities of pro players. Personally I don't participate in these fantasy leagues so I only have a pedestrian knowledge of how they work so, I might need a commissioner. Someone who knows the rules.

The way I see it, not everybody can have Miguel Cabrerra, Mike Trout and Clayton Kershaw on their Fantasy Baseball team so, there's so sort of draft similar to what the real leagues do. Like in football, some one has to take Sam Bradford at QB because not everybody can have Peyton Manning or Rodgers.

In my Fantasy Wealth League (FWL) it would be similar in that not everybody gets to be Bill Gates or Warren Buffett. It takes all kinds to fill up the rosters so, somebody might get stuck with a Kardashian.

But, ya know, isn't that the excitement of it? You could have a Kardashian and they do something that pays off and then you win too! Just like if that 2nd string running back has a big game and that benefits you, one of the Kardashians could cure cancer or make a sex tape. You just never know.
In FWL, things would be a little different in that you could pick up points if your rich guy buys a Congressman or if he gets one of his companies to do one of those tax inversion schemes. Conversely, if your rich guy pays any taxes- any taxes at all- you lose big! Taxes are like kryptonite to those people. Even just a little weakens them.

As you can see, I've got a lot of details to work out. One thing I know is that you've got to have some skin in the game. There will have to be a buy-in to keep out the riff raff. And of course, as always, the winnings go to the actual winner rich guy. YOU get nothing. Thanks for playing!
