ignites imagination for a vast spending spree.
A hundred million dollars warrants an easy street
on which to build a palace with everything replete.
A hundred million dollars secures a front row seat
to spectacular events reserved for the elite.
A hundred million dollars acquires unique profiles
of fine gratification for luxurious lifestyles.
A hundred million dollars procures superlatives
in every situation that anybody gives.

for distinctive purchases and services for hire.
A hundred million dollars allows travel worldwide
with best accommodations wherever you decide.
A hundred million dollars grants opportunities
to give generous support to favored charities.
A hundred million dollars provides security
as a durable nest-egg for all futurity.
