22. If it's like the other Chump Towers, then someone else is footing the bill

They're only paying Chump a certain amount to "lease" his name on the building. The bottom line is that Chump will never own it, and maybe not even "manage" it. He leases his name and nothing else.

At one time the Chump family business was to set up management leases for hotels, resorts and condos. But Uday and Qusay (Jr. and Eric) have done such a terrible job running the Chump business that most of those contracts have been torn up. Now apparently it's starting up again, in Australia.

What could go wrong?
