Just buy it and then charge for guided tours. Then use the money to buy some fuel, fighters, a crew, etc. and pretty soon you can conquer a small island!

At 4 million dollars, you'd need to charge 10 bucks per person and hope you get 400,000 people just to break even. This doesn't even take into account maintenance.

Just take it off shore and out of US jurisdiction, and you could have some big-ass wild parties on that thing.

We can all move there and make a PolyTown!
