You think that's how much she'd get? The team was bought through debt and refinanced, again and again.
If you buy a house via a mortgage for $127,000. You get a housing line of credit. You remortgage and never pay more than the bare minimum on the loans. Refinance, again and again. A realtor stops by to tell you that they think your house is worth $420,000.
You don't get the $420,000. Your debts have racked up to $370,000.
So you make $50,000. Good enough right? Not in your mind, you paid $97,000 over the past 15 years.
That is Melnyks mentality.
