    I could literally give every single American one million dollars and still have 600 million left over.  Wow. 
    cash option isnt after taxes...... the other 700 million is what would accrue for payout over the life of the payout.
    Correct.  If you did cash option  you would get like 500 mil after taxes.  That is a third of what it was.

    If you opted for the 30 year payout you would have received 53 mil before taxes and about 30 mil a year after.

    The question would be could you take the 500 mil guaranteed and turn it into the 900 mil you would have gotten over 30 years?

    Or just screw it and enjoy the 500mil?
    I dont think anyone could foresee 30 years of growth to THAT degree. What I have in mind if I were to ever come into serious money, is buy as much berkshire hathaway as felt right for whatever amount I was working from. give quite a bit to family and various causes.

    buy and rehab houses to give to the homeless with trusts set up to help support maintenance and the individuals. Start  self sustaining businesses that didnt necessarily require profit back to me but improve opportunity for employees. silent partner shit....

    and cars. every fucking car I have ever wanted. entire mopar line from back when......
    I think if you bought a bunch of property in big cities you could very well come close to making that type of money.  That is how most people became rich, property.

    As for Berkshire I agree.  "A" is at $300 plus right now.  It has gone up $120,000 since I have been watching it.

    Other things I would invest in are the bluechips, Amazon, Apple, BP, Caterpillar, Walmart, Pfizer.  I would also look into Lithium and electric cars for the near future too.

    As stated before I would put a trust up for Epilepsy R&D.

    Oh and cars?  Hmmm.  I would purchase a Nissan GTR.  I don't think I would want anything else after driving that, lol.


    Damn Chris, I would have thought your first 3 moves would have been:
    1. Hire your own personal brewmaster 
    2. Pay 10C to make you a damn Zippo
    3. Purchase every PJ sock known to man...new AND worn.

    I would buy the Sport Hotel Alpenrose in Nova Levante near Bolzano and any verified 10C member and everyone I know would be welcome free of charge.
    I'd have a list of a few dozen people I would give 10,000$ to, and a few who would get more.
    Then I would start a charity foundation that helps children who are hungry and abused and have no future.

    Nah.  I'd learn to brew.  That would be fun.
    I don't need my own zippo, that is just silly.
    I've got every sock so I'm good.  I don't want the worn ones, lol.

    I'd buy every piece of sealed Pearl Jam vinyl, open every single damn one of them, and give them away to people who would gladly spin them.  And if you're one of the people who I buy sealed vinyl from, you don't get any back.  Odds are you already have 4-5 open copies anyway.

    Ok I’ll bite. Ten Club tickets will be personalized and feature band related art. All seats will be reserved so rail is meaningless. Ten Club seniority will determine your section, but seats will be assigned at random, and there will be lottery rows in each of the ten closest sections for high member numbers. If you are visually shitfaced prior to entering, you will not be allowed in and you will not get a refund. A little buzzed is fine, but Evenbros will not be tolerated. Spark up at your will. Children under 13 will not be permitted and under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. There will be no merch sold at the show. However there will be a surprise goody bag given upon entry. Contents not disclosed but will include a redemption card for a poster, bootleg CD & download in any format, and a Blu-ray or DVD. So please, put your fucking phones away, just be in the god damn moment, and enjoy the show!
