OT

"What happens if Paris Hilton goes on and buys up all the beach front property in the country???? "

She goes broke before she makes a dent in the available pool of property while bidding up the cost so that she is guaranteed to lose money as she is forced to sell at fire sale prices to avoid foreclosure. It would be almost as stupid as the Hunt brothers trying to corner the silver market.

BTW it would make it so she would not have a wealth advantage over the rest of us. For that reason, I would encourage her to try.
