Which would you choose?

This is basically just a clever variation of "how much money do you have."

True, although a bit more generic, I took it as a "are you comfortable enough now to not have the million?" for me, yes...but I'm also still working. If I won the $50MM I would retire immediately, play golf each day, post on TNCR... wait, @Copper you're living the dream!

You can use this to see if your $50MM bet was worth it. For me? I lost.

I would go for the $50 Million, but I'd sell @jon-nyc the opportunity to go in half for a mere $500K...

Yep.

Suppose we change the choices to:
“Instant $1 Billion” vs. “50% chance to get $50 Billion”
What will it be?

I asked Karla. Her response? “Before or after taxes?”

Tell her “after taxes.”

I'd go for the million. I'd be comfortable for the rest of my life (which is what I'm hoping for anyway). The other one has a 50% chance of me spending the rest of my life being told I should have pushed the red button, and also a moderate chance that I'd be totally f'd up by the experience.
I only know how I'd answer after asking the wife....

Instant billion. They would change my life equally.

Yeah, I can’t really see what the $50 Billion would add to Karla and my lives, my kids’ lives, or my future grandchildren’s lives. We would just be living off of the interest anyway…

I'm not even sure I'd even want a billion or 50 billion. They would likely ruin my kids in various ways.
