How does a 13 year old have $120,000 in life savings?!?
By Team Romero they are referring to Jordan, Paul, and Karen.

The next record to be attempted in this grand competition will be the heaviest human to get their ass on top of the world without dying of a heart attack, HAPE, HACE etc or killing any of the sherpa's that hauled all their 02 and their big ass up there.
It will make for a new Fox TV Reality Show...

Don't quote me on this, but I'm fairly certain Reinhold was out of middle school when he "cashed in" on his fame. (Might've even had a kid or two by then.)

He'd already done ALL the 8kers WITHOUT 02, done and solo'd the E three times without 02 each and crossed Antarctica etc well before he "cashed in". 20 something years of busting his ass actually.
