Here’s the thing- after taxes and auction fees, that seller only netted about $6M.
Basically half of the $12M+ that it sold for.
The taxes and auction fees will eat so much of your financial returns that if this is your approach to retirement, your returns will have to be astronomical to overcome those financial drags.
