For all their similarities, there is no denying that Michael and Alex are different people. While Michael was earning his gameball, Alex was organizing a game of "Wall Ball." He wasn't a participant in it, instead he used his Alex skills to charm, glad hand and recruit all the other sibling (many much older) to take part in this contest while he watched and controlled it. As is his want, he shared the money he came into earlier that day by declaring that he would buy the triumphant gladiator Ice Cream (the most expensive item at the snack bar) and a large drink. What can I say, he is my little politician?
In this case, he is operating in the same fashion as Gaius Julius Caesar did, who perpetually used his personal resources to throw parties and contests. While his technique might be reminiscent of Caesar, he is still my son and has a bit of my dramatic flair; at the end of the contest he walked over to the snack bar with the winner in tow, put his 10 dollar bill on the counter and told the young ladies with a grand smile, "give me the most expensive thing on your menu!"
