Billionaire CEO Offers $3B Company for Flat Earth Proof
A very rich man named Tim Boyle, who runs a big company called Columbia Sportswear, has made a fun challenge.
He said that if anyone can take a picture showing that the Earth is flat, they can have his whole company, which is worth $3 billion.
He wants people to wear his company's clothes when they go looking for the edge of the Earth.
This is all part of a marketing plan to get people talking about his company.
The challenge is for people who believe the Earth is flat, even though most scientists say it's round.
Tim Boyle is 76 years old and is worth about $1.6 billion himself.
He says the picture must show a real, physical end of the Earth, and not just a trick like standing on a cliff.
Tim Boyle, CEO of Columbia Sportswear, challenges flat-earthers to prove Earth is flat.
Offer: $3 billion company to anyone who can take a picture of the Earth's edge.
Challenge is part of Columbia's 'Expedition Impossible' marketing campaign.
CEO encourages participants to wear Columbia clothes during their search.
