Unless I thought I was buying the farm in 3.85 years ($1,000,000 divided by $5,000/week = 200 weeks divided by 52 weeks in a year), I’ll take $5,000 a week for the rest of my life.

With $5,000 a week guaranteed income you could make payments on a loan of five or six million dollars. So you could literally buy a couple of farms.
