Trevor had a large parcel of undeveloped land that he bought for $500,000 in 2002. In 2017 an oil company offered him $15 million for the land when tests indicated that there was likely a significant amount of oil underneath the land. After much negotiation, Trevor accepted $20 M in cash in 2019 for drilling rights only (in other words Trevor kept title to the land but the oil company could drill and extract any oil) for a five-year period.
