Especially Wells - his later stories were basically "Something amazing

I'll take a billion dollars over unpaid ego-stroking, thanks. With a
billion dollas, I can build new industries. With accolades, I can't do
anything but try to avoid paparazzi and crazed stalkers. Witha billion
dollars, I can build an orbital tourist craft and orbitting hotel.

I think it would cost more than that to do.

Doubtful. $300 million would get you the ship. The hotel would be
purchased from Bigelow.
