The announcement that he would be going up against two Stern family members at once, Bobo and her mother, Karen, might have sounded like a significant, even overwhelming threat to anyone else seeking power. But for Max, he was thinking the complete opposite. His mind immediately went to the complex financial data they had gathered, specifically the information detailing how much money each Stern family member had remaining in their reserves.
He knew a critical truth: both Bobo and Karen were financially bleeding money and were, in the grand scheme of the inheritance race, even less secure than Max, even after he factored in the aggressive investments he would have to make. Instead of viewing this situation as confronting two financial titans, each with a billion in reserves, he was calculating how he could leverage this deal to his advantage and gobble up all that remaining money for himself.
