Michael Bloomberg's expensive 2020 failure was actually a bargain, depending on how you look at it.

The former New York City mayor is now a former Democratic presidential candidate, dropping out after he failed to win a single state and more than a handful of delegates on Super Tuesday. The Washington Post has since evaluated how much Bloomberg spent for the votes he did get, and it's at least $130 each, at least when it comes to the states whose vote totals were completely reported by Wednesday afternoon.
