Our general conventional thinking that this must be some big thing is not necessarily true but in fact quite the opposite.
I've seen it before only a few months back. If the company he buys into fails, it is NO big deal to him, simply a tax write off that he can EASILY afford and not miss from his bank account. On a grander scale of things he's got goin' on, if he is notified by an assistant that things didn't go well, it might barely register as a 1 second shrug of the shoulders before he's onto what's next in his day.
