Nick Saban is actually going to be a billionaire because of car dealerships. The headline of the article was "The Man Who Will Make Nick Saban a Billionaire." What caught my eye is that a story came out saying that they bought 2 dealerships in Miami. Guess the price? $20 million? You're only off by $680 million. Wait, what? They bought 2 dealerships for a reported $700 million. Oh my God. I actually spent 30 minutes this morning figuring out, is this a typo? The guy said that they sell 22,000 cars a year, and then he says they do about $2 billion in revenue on that. The way that this happened was Saban was Sponsored by Mercedes.
