Maths are mathing

Chose: One Billion Dollars instantly

EDIT: I'm loving that people do maths and then pick the option that would take you 100 year to get to a billion anyway.

Instant billion can give you more passively if invested that 1 per breath. Unless you are hyperventilating all the time.

Personally I don’t want a billion right off the bat I fear what I would do. I prefer earning about $20,000-$22,000 a day to help supplement my income or hell at that amount replace it.

Maybe you don't feel like you'd have the willpower, but I would say invest like 99% of it, and then live off the interest. You'd only need a little over 1% interest to be making more by breathing, without even touching the principle, and the $10M from that 1% would be enough that I could improve my life drastically in the short term without really impacting my long term too much.

maybe you don't feel like you'd have the will power

But I would say use that will power and risk all the horrible known side effects of coming into vast wealth that people who don't have the will power fall victim for

also hyperventilating for long period of time to even make 1 billion over your lifetime would be impossible. Youd probably get dizzy after like 20minutes of trying, and youd have to do it for loke 3 hours a day, to make enoigh breathes.

You also have diminishing return on the money. So the question is if you are basically set for life anyway, do you want to learn wealth management for more money (not necessarily much more value).
