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

5 today. Buy and develop land. With the right investments it would be worth much more than 7.5 in 5 years or it could be worth 0 in 5 years. I'd take the chance

Assuming a return of 12%, you can double your money in six years so this is a no-brainer--take the five and in six years you'll have ten million.

If anyone says anything different they are more than likely a moron.
Or $5 million in the hole with some bad people.

Where are you getting a 12% return?
You aren't taking into account investing the payments on the 7.5 either

I don't think anyone is. You could invest 100k a month with these installments.
As far as "who is paying you the money", assumed in this hypothetical that it is guaranteed you're getting the installments.

$5 million now.
/thread.
You could invest part of it and will earn more than 7.5 over the five years.

A. You didn't read the thread.
B. You're investing, not all of 5 million, but just a PART of it and you'll earn over 2.5 million in 5 years? Please sensei, show us your ways.

I'm surprise more of these posters haven't been scooped up by private equity firms yet

What?
Look you could go to Canada and buy xanax for 25 cents, you spend 1 million on that and you have 4 million 1mg. They can go for $3 each in some places. That's turning 1 million into 12 million right there..and that's just the north.
Mexican border would be a lot easier, or purchase your own small double engine plane. Learn how to fly or hire a pilot to fly you to south America and back. That's the real money. This country is just begging for another 80s excess boom.

I might die tomorrow. Give me the money now, and I'll go out with a bang.

I'm kind of surprised how many of you dummies would actually choose the $5 million option, then I remember that this is the OT and am actually surprised that more of you didn't choose $5 million.

At 12% constant growth, compounded annually:
Lump sum grows to $8,811,708 after 5 years.
Installments grow to $10,143,986 after 5 years.

Fair enough, but it better be more than 8.45% guaranteed return, because that is what you're passing up.

Depends on your expected rate of return on investment. But it would have to be very high to justify taking the $5 million now.
