60 years? Buy a roughly equivalent amount of broad market stock index funds in the US, Europe, China, and the "developing world". Sixty years is plenty long enough for a 100% investment in stock indexes.

Also, if you're serious about "never be touched again" you need to set up a trust. And if the kid can't be trusted to manage his own affairs by the time he's reached his mid-thirties you might consider a way to evaluate this and steering to another beneficiary.

Really, for a sixty year investment you should be worried as much about the recipient as the investment.

This is the correct answer but you sure seem like a ton of fun at parties

Just picking with you but that was a funny "mature" answer to question...

I think McDonalds is a very risky 20 year play, much less 60.
