I wonder if someone could get super insanely rich by building a pipeline to the middle of the desert from the ocean, digging a giant hole and building a beach resort on formerly worthless land.

I think you should be already super rich to build the giant pipe tho

Nah you just need to find some ~~suckers~~ ~~idiots~~ investors who want in on this innovative and brilliant idea.

Then honestly you don't even have to build the pipe

You can only steal investor money if you're already rich and the investment is coming from the government.

Nah, it's easy as this project would be like most mining startups - you just need a liar and a hole in the ground

It's easy to pretend to be rich. Ferrari rentals are actually pretty cheap.
