Would you choose $5 MILL in one check today, or $7.5 MILL paid over 5 years?

i would assume the future value at the end of the 5 years is more if you choose the 7.5 huh? I'm not gonna do the math.

It would depend on the interest I could gain over 5 years on the 5 mill.

$7.5M

You'd have to make some real risky and CORRECT investments to get a 50% return over 5 years. Make it 10 or more years and I'd have to think it over a little more.

5 million today no tax? I could use it wisely and expand it up to at least 9 million over 5 years.

You would probably need to get more than 50% return.

Because you could make those same investments with each 1.5 you get each year if you chose the 7.5M plan.

You can do the same taking it over 5 years. Taking $7.25 over 60 months is 120,833.33 per month. I would keep $20k per month and put the $100k into an investment.
