“Cash Option $757 million lump sum before taxes - $477 million lump sum after 37% IRS tax”
Keep going. If you put 477 million in some investment that only pays ONE percent you’ll have $4,770,000 per year in interest to live on without ever touching the lump sum.
Now do a normal return on investment percentage! Say even 5%? Nearly 24 million per year. I can hardly think that big.
This puts you into the super wealthy class, and will make you an enemy of the state unless you donate to leftist causes.
