How to make the most of your next break-in
A pound of californium-252 would be $450 billion
Hey, Matt: If I was planning the heist of the century, what is the most expensive thing I could fit in my trunk? —Joe, via electromail
Well, if you have no imagination, I guess you could make off with a pound of californium-252. That’s a man-made element used in nuclear research. The feds had a big fire sale a while ago, and they peddled their supply for $1000 per microgram, which works out to about $450 billion a pound, though maybe you’d get a quantity discount. Personally, I’d go for the $20 million duck. A homeopathic medicine outfit in France plans to produce a flu cure made from infinitesimal amounts of duck heart and liver mixed with lots of sugar. One duck will produce $20 million worth of pills. So stuff that trunk with French quackers and cash in.
