    All see here is really bad math. If he’s worth 400mil and she buys him for that, he’d be worth 800 and she’d be left with 700. Thus he’d be able to buy her and still have 100 million! Circle is closed.

      This ignores legal realities about property and transferring wealth. When she buys him for 400mil, she will briefly place the money in escrow, reducing them to 700 and 400mil. Then, when he becomes her property, Taylor also gains his assets, reaching 1.5 billion when the escrow is released.

        Wait. Is this something really profound you stumbled upon? So you say they started with 1.5bil combined, but after first purchase her assets go up to 1.5bil and his assets go to .8bil, so their combined assets would be 1.5+.8=2.3billion. Extra 800 million without producing a thing! I think you’ve just found infinite money glitch.
