haha my brain went like...

"ok.. but was it a party for all 9,000 people?"

"maybe they had great caterers"

... then I did the math. It's $7.5k per employee.

Clearly I'm just not creative enough to know how to waste money like an SV company.

it included flights, hotels, food and travel expenses for 9000 for multiple days, as well as the "party". US-based travel for 1 person for 5 days is easily 4K, on top of that some people were probably international so it would be higher, and on top of that there are the "party" expenses like venue and catering which probably wasn't that significant.
