First, pay the gift taxes. Then, take the remaining $600m or so and put it into a laddered muni bond portfolio at about 5% average coupon. Take the $30m/year tax-free interest payments and reinvest in more bonds. Keep compounding and thumbing my nose at the IRS because as MD Hammer said, "can't touch this!"

Gift taxes, if any actually are due, are paid by the person making the gift, not the person receiving the gift.

Someone is completely unfamiliar with current muni rates. Or rates for the past several years either.
