  You fool! Now she has 1.5 billion, and can buy him for 100 million. This was her plan all along!

  This ignores legal realities about property and transferring wealth. When she buys him for 400mil, she will briefly place the money in escrow, reducing them to 700 and 400mil. Then, when he becomes her property, Taylor also gains his assets, reaching 1.5 billion when the escrow is released.

      but after first purchase her assets go up to 1.5bil and his assets go to .8bil

      Nope, his assets go to $0, as they belong to her now. What you propose is the economical equivalent of a perpetual motion machine

    I mean, you’re assuming she’s buying him from him, historically speaking there was some violence and a third party involved.
