Howard Prescott's Company


When Brantley Foster first meets his uncle, Howard says that 30,000 people work in his building, that their combined salaries are greater than half the countries in the world (IIRC, correct me if I'm wrong), and that his company borrowed more money than Mexico. Was he exaggerating, or are there really companies and buildings that big?

Maybe Mircrosoft or haliburton might be that big in real life.

Microsoft for sure

Well, that's just the management team who worked in the NY office. It's a multinational company with offices all over the place, including the one in Chicago which should be blamed!

It's called hyperbole. It's supposed to be funny. If you have a sense of humour...
