I just wanted to point out that there is a billionaire out there that is risking millions of his own money to produce entertainment. That fits your question.

OK, but Sabin doesn't expect to LOSE that money. He thinks (I assume) it's a sound investment. I'm assuming he's a billionaire (and many billionaires do this as well) because he spends money in order to (hopeful) make money.

George Lucas says cant make the show he wants on the budget he wants, and people are saying he should suck it up and just spend more money, his financial/technical goals be damned. That strikes me as a very odd expectation.

Anyways, your question didn't discount a profit. Just that a person spend millions of thier money to produce entertainment.

I did say "loss."
