Worst question ever.

Take the money and run.

I would be able to whisper in the Presidents ear with that type of money.

But then again, seeing how Obama did it, I could be POTUS then make $150M when I get out.

if you are smart, you could turn that 150 mil into billions in like 10 years and then you could have more influence than the POTUS

Being POTUS would be completely miserable.

The actual best job in DC is being a SCOTUS justice.

Personally, I'm absolutely taking the cash; however, there are a lot of "power-hungry," narcissistic people out there who desire to be "the most powerful man in the world."

Today, Biden will be the 46th President of the US. The point being, there aren't too many of them, and you'll always be remembered, for better or for worse. There are a lot of people, surprisingly, who have that amount of cash and much, much more.

Clinton turned being President into way more than that

Obama the same

I expect Biden's delinquent son to be worth that shortly

150 M is a good day in the market for the billionaires who actually control what you see

There isn't really anything in the world that would make me want to be POTUS.

This could've been 5 million and that's still a super easy decision.

I’d rather be a senator from Delaware. Then I could have both. Amazing how much they pay senators from Delaware v. the other senators.

Far from. Again, there are many, many people out there with that money and much, much more.

You'll be able to whisper in your local Mayor or Governor's ear though.

If you pick #1 president, you would probably just get 150m+ later
