Unanswerable question: what was Harry Stamper‘s net worth when NASA reached out to him?

Now you might be wondering why I am thinking about this at 5 am. Drinking coffee pre gym and the kids getting up. The algorithm feed me the Ben affect directors commentary where he is told the shut the frick up about why it would be easier to train oil drillers to be astronauts and not astronauts to drillers.
Harry is presented in the movie as a salt of the earth rough neck. That’s the layman take on him. His resume is a bit more impressive. He’s designed his own drill and owns the number one company that every oil major calls when they need a hole dug. He is definitely an engineer so that scene where he is bitching about nasa messing up his design isn’t that outrageous.
He doesn’t seem too materialistic so the action is the juice kinda guy more than about the money. He has to have tens of million in the bank about the low end, right?

I have a client who designed and patented an item for a major industrial hardware that is at every industrial site higher than 10 feet, sometimes permanently.
His company is worth a billion, he’s worth about $250mm. Should give you an idea.

That’s Arwen you’re speaking ill of! You’d do well to choose your words more wisely!
She’s only shown being with 1 guy, AJ.

I like AJ quit and had his own rig and company up and running the next day.

I agree with him on this. The premise of the movie is that the drillers were basically catching a ride to the asteroid with assigned astronauts and then it was their show from there. I am sure, like in all other blue collar jobs, you need practical experience to adjust to the environment and course correct when needed. You can't train that practical experience in a matter of a month or two.
Now the real argument should be, if they had more astronauts would they have overshot their target landing area by however many miles and been up shite creek to begin with?

I do know he has enough money to give the hippie group protesting at his drilling site $50k a year just for laughs.
He also gives AJ a speech that he implies he has $8 million of his own money invested in the contract when chewing his arse about drilling 180 feet overnight after being told not to do so.
And apparently makes enough money to keep people on the payroll that could make a ton of money elsewhere like Rockhound (perv or not his credentials are impeccable) and Oscar.

The two flying the ship where real astronauts and if even if they had more real astronauts, they would have been strapped into their seats anyway.

There are way too many responses in here analyzing a Michael Bay film
I kid of course because Armageddon is one of my favorite movies. Such a quotable and fun movie.
