If I were 80 years old, sure.

Now? No way.

Theoretically set my kids and future grandkids up for life? And I don’t have to live in this gay earth anymore? Sign me up. Use my accounting background to set up all the right trusts and sign me up.

I want to be alive for family and friends, but I sure could do a lot of living in 5 years with 500 million. But if I told them I'd leave them a million each when I died they'd probably co-sign the deal for me.

There’s no way I’m lasting 5 years if I have 500 million.

Hell no...over the last yoga I have come to realize that nothing is more important than your health...nothing.

Five years is too low, nobody is going to go for that. How about instead, we do it like this. What's the lowest amount of years to live you would be willing to accept, with each year representing a million dollars.

50 million for 50 years
40 million for 40 years
30 million for 30 years
25 million for 25 years

How many years would you need you need to be guaranteed? For me, I'd consider 40 million for 40 years. I'd be rat bait in the year 2061 but that'd be a pretty damn good 40 years

It’s not health you’re giving up. It’s time. The deal never asked to give up your health.

These are the questions the people need answered. I tend to think I’d pass on only 5 years at the peak, but who’s to say?
