re: Would you take $50 million tax free or $2 million/year tax free for life

$50 million up front tax free (or after taxes more likely) .... it's a no brainer for anyone over the age of 25.

take the 50, it isn't debatable

Never did understand lotto winners that took all $ up front (eat more and taxes and higher chance go broke)
2. Because if you die the day after you win without taking the lump sum, all that money you were going to get is gone.

Shiii I think I might take 50 over 5/year

If you don't take the 50 up front then you dumb. 50 million invested w/7% avg. return is 140 million in 15 years, 380 million in 30 years and almost 1.5 billion in 50 years.

50! Plenty for generational wealth. Even with huge tax hit.

Easy, $50 million now.
Should be able to make more than $2 million per year using the $50 million. Just have to make at a maximum 4% annually investing. That's not factoring compounding interest.
If you only make 1% back on the $50 million you'll still have $70 million after 35 years.

2 million annual additions @7% is 15 years: 59 million, 30 years: 217 million, 50 years: 928 million.
However, that's not accounting for spending anything in the interim. If you are skimming off of the proceeds from 50 million to live it affects your outcome a lot less than taking it out of 2 million a year.

2 mil/ year because I plan on Liv ng more than 25 more years. So I'll make more in the long run unless I die in some tragic way. In that case, I will have had a pretty kick arse life with 2 mil per year until my tragic death.

And the biggest of all, if/when you die, that all ends immediately. So you'd have to live nearly 15 years just to get to that $50mil mark to "break even"(and that's not even counting actually investing the $50mil for nearly 15 years) if you will to guarantee you get $50mil like you do on day 1 in the other scenario. That alone makes the lump sum worth, even if those #s you posted were completely opposite, I'd still $50mil for that reason.
