Donald Sterling always made money from the Clippers from the year he bought it. Just continuing the operations as they are today would put Ballmer in the black on this "investment". (I imagine owning a Sports team probably has some tax advantage loopholes too)

Not to mention Larry Ellison's purchase of Lanai island for $500MM+. Now that is a terrible purchase from a investment standpoint, but hey, the guy was $40BB+, so it's chump change you know? :(
