  Basically, the guy is the sole owner of land believed to be valued at excess of $5 billion, yet he won't sell it, because it is Aboriginal land that has belonged to his family and people for centuries.

  I could do it, I think.

  nope. I would sell to the highest bidder. I could do a lot for my family with that much green.
• CenterBHSFan

  

  I would sell the outter ring of land that is worth about 1 billion.

  What an idiot. When he dies, either his kids are going to sell it, or the government is going to step in and take it.

  Gotta admire what he feels is his tribute to his family, and the true meaning of the untouched and undeveloped area.

  Agreed. I mean, whether or not I could do it depends on factors in my life, like how badly I needed the money, etc. But, I really respect this guy off of this.

  So instead of selling Koongarra to a mining company, Lee plans to incorporate his homeland into Kakadu National Park, where “it will be protected and safe forever"

  I'd keep it because they will come back with more money on the table....

  Take him on an amazing yacht trip to Vegas. Put him up in the Penthouse Suite of the Bellagio and fill it with hookers and coke. Bet he sells the next day

  Sad thing is, your future generations will end up selling it because, even though they aren't born yet, they're pricks. Sell it now.
