In 2012, President Noynoy (PNoy) Aquino’s net worth was declared at PhP 65.13 million. If we make a guesstimate of his current net worth by projecting via his old net worth, it is logical to think that it probably didn’t increase or decrease significantly from that. Using the PhP 2.7 billion, this means that you can top up the president 41 times.
In other words, based from his net worth and if he was for sale, you can buy 41 units of PNoy.

The most expensive bar tab is said to be US$ 500,000 (about PhP 21.97 million), spent in just one night.Â
Charles Shaker, a British entrepreneur, impressed his billionaire friends at the Billionaire’s Club in Monte Carlo in May 2013. He treated them to half a million dollars’ worth of drinks that night.
This means that with your PhP 2.7 billion, you can be like Anne Curtis and say, ” I can buy you, your friends, and this club!” for 122 times. Or actually, be more like Shaker, 122 times.
1. Buy your financial freedom
Let’s say you’re 20 years old when you got the PhP 2.7 billion and you get to live until you are 80 years old. So you have 60 years more left. With the PhP 2.7 billion, you can quit your job now and live lucratively with a daily allowance of about PhP 123,000.
If you wanted to buy a PhP 5 million house, you just need to skimp for a little over a month, you can buy the house and pay in full.
That money would be enough get you through.Â
On a serious note, if PhP 2.7 billion was used properly then that could have fed a lot of hungry Filipinos or provided health care support to the sick least fortunate.
If you had PhP 2.7 billion, what would buy?
