The guy you're talking about can wipe his a.ss with $100s. $2.3 million is chump change.

So how is it that he is smart enough to acquire all that money but dumb enough to spend 2.3 million on a horse when the average lifetime earnings typically are what 50 K. I guess plying the customers with free drinks is a good idea.
