more than three trillion dollars of
Monopoly money has been printed monopoly
money you’re not gonna take my property
from
since the game’s introduction in 1935
monopoly has printed more than three
trillion dollars of the classic fake
paper money thanks to the game selling
more than 275 million copies in 47
languages we can’t get a Ferrari
today on the currency is the wrong
currency Hasbro the publishers of the
game print around 30 billion dollars in
monopoly money every year due to the
insane demand for the original and about
300 licensed versions we’ve got star
wars monopoly rasta monopoly gallipoli
and nickel bobbly let’s stick to
original monopoly
speaking of big-money numbers the
Guinness Book of World Records has
officially verified a two million dollar
version of Monopoly as being the most
expensive in the world
the art piece has solid gold houses with
ruby and sapphire chimneys and dice with
diamond dots even here on Wall Street it
has a bigger value today than it did
when I made it because let’s face it
when I made a goal with around $300 an
ounce and I understand that gold just
hit a couple days ago thirteen hundred
and fifty dollars an ounce that’s that’s
that makes his set worth a lot of money
number three the longest Monopoly game
lasted 70 days you you can’t win why
would you be our guy you don’t get to
quit diet he went yeah I pretty much
hate everyone I’m playing with after an
hour but some saints or Zen masters or
something played the game 1680 hours or
70 days which is a world record this was
a match played at a professional
tournament mind you not just in some
guys living room actually living room
might not be a fair assumption a game in
a bathtub lasted ninety nine hours what
are you getting now I’m not I’ll see you
later buddy
350 scuba divers played a tournament for
over a thousand hours and some people
were even insane enough to play the game
upside down for 36 hours not sure how
that worked but that’s some serious
dedication to bankrupting your friends
because this is anybody here two and a
half hours into a game of Monopoly here
it is ready I quit
number two monopoly is based on
anti-monopoly ideals 1150 bones cool
that’s all I got broke again eat her
just like in real life I guess you’re
just that much of a businessman the
story of Monopoly has always been that
Charles Darrow created monopoly and sold
it to the Parker Brothers and both
parties laughed all the way past go but
originally the landlord’s game was
created by and patented in 1904 by
Lizzie McGee it was apparently intended
as an educational condemnation of
capitalism she wanted a game that would
teach people how awful it was to have a
money-grubbing landlord who couched you
on your rent Charles Darrow was just a
fan of the game who added some visual
elements cut out its anti monopolist
features and renamed it monopoly Parker
Brothers bought the rights to both games
but it was ultimately monopoly that they
went forward with so McGee’s game about
the evils of capitalism has been a
wondrous celebration of capitalism for
over 80 years now whomp-whomp
maybe we should play another game number
one the game helped British POWs escape
during World War two forget dramatically
building a tunnel underneath prisoner of
war camps with daring escapes and
confrontations monopoly is all you need
during World War two
British Secret Service created fake
charity groups to distribute care
packages to Allied POWs
and among the packages were monopoly
says while the Germans saw this as
harmless fun the games were only a cover
they were advised on how to identify a
rigged monopoly sent the tale being a
tiny red dot on the corner of the free
parking square hidden in the boards and
game pieces were small compasses metal
tools and a silk map to help guide the
escape there was even real currency
among the monopoly money it’s estimated
at 35,000 Allied POWs escaped German
prisons during World War two and that
nearly a third of them used the monopoly
maps I’m good for the rest you know I am
well I’d like to trust you Homer but
you’ve been in jail three times they
