Reminds me of two pro athletes who signed contracts to get paid far into the future. Quarterback Steve Young signed a personal services contract with the USFL owner. He will receive over $1 million each year, until 2027. Baseball player Bobby Bonilla signed a contract with the New York Mets that will pay him over a million each year until 2035. Should he pass away before 2035, the contract is such that his heirs will receive the annual payment until 2035. Not bad, not bad at all.

The Bobby Bonilla deal is amazing, I think another former Met had once too. I remember football coach Charlie Weiss was being paid by Notre Dame eight years after he was fire, to almost $19 million, and Kansas was paying him for years too. They said he made $1.6 million per win as a college coach.
