Of course I suspect that he bid far more than 5% of the cash that he's got on-hand. If he's anything like most young people who suddenly come into money, a considerable part of that $11.5m was probably spent on fast cars and the like.

Now that I think of it, somebody should take him up on that twitter thing, get an auto, and ask him what his monster number is.
Can't say that I have, but I'm certain I would have in his financial situation.
