He had a personal collection too - Robert was one of those rich noobs who just up and one day bought 10 Sterns for his gameroom. That was the impetus.

So yeah, he went from *that* kind of buyer to starting a pinball company in about a year. About as fast as he goes through wives.

Kinda reminds me of guys who get a Mr Beer homebrew kit for Christmas, and a year later have built a 15 gallon automated setup and begun to look for a location for a new brew pub.

GB Pro?
Stern LCD game?

Yes, it is Ghostbusters. The other one is Batman 66 if I am not mistaken.

The black chairs on the right, is that massage chairs?

Dude loves cruises as much as getting married

I don't really know much about cruises - do they really cost $54 THOUSAND dollars!? That seems insane.

Mueller has squandered all but roughly $400,000 of the more than $60 million raised from investors

Just stop and think about this for a second.

https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/cruises-destinations/list/

Looks like cruise packages for 2 passengers range from $1500 to almost $12k, not including alcohol.

Two $8k cruises a year for 3 years totals $48k.

I'm sure a scrub can get some shitty lower deck inside cabin for a lot cheaper, but do you really expect a wealthy genius like Mueller to not reward himself and his family of the week with anything but the best? When your hard work and ingenuity have brought you the untold riches that us plebes can only dream about, you got gotta go with the 50G cruise.

#26308 2 years ago

Pretty outrageous to imagine he thought he was entitled to that type of holiday for a business with zero revenue.

#26309 2 years ago
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

I can see him racking it up if he opted for one of the nicest cabins, paid for some of the off shore excursions, chugged booze like a whale, and ate at the nicer restaurants not covered by your base food plan. A "normal" family outing would be more like $10k-20k

found an actual photo from the cruise on instagram.

“other insurance” (presumably for his luxury automobile, $400)" per month.

For those that live in Texas, what kind of car has an insurance premium of 400$ per month?

#26313 2 years ago

Mueller states that his spouse “will not receive her full salary” while on maternity leave.

Having a kid with the third wife......the wizard mode of real life.

a tesla model x can easily run $400 a month

That's almost 5K per year in insurance premiums. Is it really that high in Texas?

Do you even cruise bro?

Maybe Robert steers his cars as poorly as he steers his business

#26318 2 years ago
Quoted from okgrak:

for full coverage, thats the cost anywhere. you're forced to buy insurance from tesla because repair cost is so high, and even if it gets sold as salvaged they dont have great support for parts so it makes it difficult for chain insurance companies to recover money from a totalled car.

Sounds like he didn't buy any lambos, could easily be that cheap for a decent car or multiple junkers.

What about Ferraris for the price of Kias?

I didn't see it when I looked at his photos at first, but yeah, Mr. Mueller could have gotten a boob job.

3 wives, one boob job each, it makes more sense

Lots of 95 lb single moms in his wake with really out of proportion chests...

#26325 2 years ago

The doctor seems like a normal family primary care provider. I say this because I looked him up because I wouldn’t put it past Robert to pay for IVF with this money. He has a baby due this month and that’s an easy 50k in costs. (At least something would be delivered on schedule)

Still don’t know how you rack up that kind of bill, besides buying a rack.

Well this Mueller we are talking about, so it probably involved some kind of illegal kickback fraud scheme.

Insured jewelry in that zip code is off the charts.

Maybe for a crazy expensive car. When my wife and I lived in Texas it cost us between 400 and 600 dollars every 6 months to insure 2 average-priced cars. That was like 10 years ago.

#26329 2 years ago

Tesla is trying to catch up to John Deere in the fight against Right To Repair. It's part of the reason they stick fucking microchips in every cranny of a car these days - locks you in to THEIR part. (using copyrighted code as the gotcha) It's like a Stern Node board!

Here's a YouTube channel of a guy who builds Teslas from wrecks and has to deal with this stuff: https://youtube.com/c/RichRebuilds

The great coming irony is we will help the planet with electric cars but lower income people will be costed out of owning them.

Will work out great for the bourgeoisie for a few years until the unwashed masses come for them. How’d that work out in France back then?

A few people bought, no pins delivered. Gramma lost her chance at a Ferrari, at any price!

It worked great, we got rid of the lazy king and his equaly lazy group of leeches. Spain or UK should have considered doing the same, it's too late now

Would be a beautiful thing if true. The masses seem to get tangled in flights of fancy and invented conspiracy then get wrapped around the axle of imagined gripes instead of going after the overlords for the real reasons. Example, going after Facebook for cancel culture instead of going after them for making a human life a product that can be bought and sold for the benefit of a rich selfish fuck and his created collective ego machine of mass manipulation for endless profit.

How's that electricity generated? ...not sure it's really that more 'planet friendly' than just burning good ol' gas once you've factored in the long term cost of lithium batteries, mining of rare minerals needed to produce and near 3mile island type disposal problems once spent.

This is an ignorant point brought up far too often. Fuel takes a lot of resources and negative carbon generated to refine, then once it's a fuel it burns even more carbon. Electric car charging doesn't HAVE to come from coal (but it does, in fact 30% of all electricity generated is from coal) because we lack the infrastructure. We should be generating it all from nuclear (which is actually safe and clean as it is, and there's new technology where it would cool the towers with a salt instead of water so there's no possibility of a steam explosion). As far lithium batteries, they can be recycled. Go on ebay and search for EV batteries, even very nearly dead ones still have value. Also batteries don't have to be lithium based, but again because nothing was pushing the industry here we are with nearly the same technology from 20 years ago.

Plus, what happens when the oil runs out? Or even before then the oil companies decide to raise a barrel of oil to $5k because it's too hard to pump miles down in the ground.

Thank you for asking; ‘tank’ to wheel efficiency of electric cars is 4.5x high than a gas powered car. Power grids constantly get greener, so it’s a great mode of transportation that will even get cleaner over time!

What’s next, electric powered pinball machines?

#26340 2 years ago
Quoted from BradyScribbles:

I'm waiting for V-8, gas powered, pinball.
Lots of modding to do then.
