So he paid 22 million so people could see his name @ 100% zoom on Google maps... cool name bro...

I would have just paid a few thousand and have someone from Google photohsop my name on it instead. What happens when poeple are close to it? Oh, these ****ing ruts are annoying as shit!

im pretty sure a google employee isn't going to be easily bribed with a couple grand. remember, this guys has BILLIONS to spend. 22mil is pretty reasonable for leaving your mark on earth i'd say/

I guess if you have that much money you run out of things to do at a certain point, so why not carve away at the earth's crust and etch your name in it.

Those guys have so much money it's retarded! I spent a lot of time over there a few years ago, this same Sheikh came to the dragstrip with a Porsche Carrera GT, a Mercedes SLR, and a Ferrari Enzo and beat the crap out of them on the track. His cousin, who is also a Sheik, owns Al-Anabi racing and one of the nicest drag strips I've ever been to!

22 mil when you are worth $22.5 billion is like any one of us buying a new television. The rich usually like to flaunt their riches so what better way than to own your own island and let the whole world (through Google Earth) and "aliens" know your name. Well, at least your first name. Maybe he is planning on buying a bigger island so that he can do his full name. LOL!
