Always take the upfront cash! Currency devalues over time so that 7 billion could be worthless by tomorrow. But $19 invested correctly today could be worth a trillion dollars by tomorrow.
I see you’ve also read the Facebook comments on similar posts. Another popular one is “$19 right now is a sure thing but I could die in my sleep, I’ll take the $19”.
$19 right now. It says “7 billions dollars”, and there’s no real currency called billions dollars.
Typical askreddit post, lol.
Would you [moderately be inconvenienced for a somewhat long-ish time] for [ridiculous amount of money]?
Right up there with all the “have you ever sexy sexed the sexything? Would you if a sexyperson was involved?”
Nice try J. G. Wentworth
19, duh, it’s a bigger number than 7.
I’d wait until 23:58 to make my decision and then go for $19 because who knows what can happen in 2 seconds
2 minutes?
Can I have 3.5 billion dollars when I go to bed tonight?
$19. I’ve seen enough evil genie movies. It will never be tomorrow, it’s always today. Tomorrow is the promise of today.
I’m worried about the taxes due on that $7 billion. With tax brackets and that math, I’d probably come out ahead with the $19. This is why I’ve declined every raise I’ve been offered, don’t want to slip into that next tax rate.
I’m about to go to sleep. I’ll sleep better knowing I have $19, but probably wouldn’t sleep at all knowing $7 billion is showing up tomorrow. I don’t think I’m cut out for the billionaire life, but I’m prepared to try.
Can I borrow against the 7 billion? Ill find someone to lend me 1 million today and ill give them 2 million tomorrow
I don’t think I’d want to be a billionaire. A hundred million? Yeah. But, any more than that I think fucks too hard with the head. It’s an impossible amount to understand, and the power that comes with it corrupts.
You might say, “then, just give most of it away”, and yeah, that makes sense, but I don’t know how fast it happens. I don’t know if I’d be able to. I think once I realized it was really mine, it might be hard to “just give it away”. I don’t know what that corruption feels like.
And, I’m not sure I want to.
No. I’ll take the $19 and I’ll leave being a billionaire to the people who handle it so well.
Just push the money toward a good cause. You don’t have to be a billionaire for long.
Go to casino and put it all on black.
No, red.
No, no, black! Yeah, black…
Ok here’s the plan.
Day one you give all the money to me and I’m gonna give you a challenge.
You’ve got to spend 3 billion in 30 days. You can’t own anything, you can’t destroy the money, you can’t give it away, and it has to be totally secret. If you do that then you get $100 million otherwise if you fail you get $19.
Everyone’s happy problem solved, and I think there might be some wacky hijinks involved

Clearly $19. I won’t be the same person tomorrow so I would never really receive the 7 billion
