well, if they're offering $1billion now, just think what they'll offer later. But he is rather stupid.

Ok say he go it all cash all at one. Even under our tax code that $650 MILLION after taxes. Now say he puts it all in a non interest bearing account. He can still spend $17,800 a day EVERY DAY until he's 122 which would break a world record for longest lived person.
