Are you honestly comparing $150-180 million over 7-8 years over to $664,000-$800,000 over 8 years? One you can retire after those 7-8 years, the other you're still going to have to work, probably for another 15-20 years. One you have the next few generations of your family set up for the rest of their lives. The other you have enough money to retire with your immediate family comfortably. So yeah, obviously if you're going to have $83,000 vs $100,000 you're going to take the $100,000 because while it's a nice paying job, it doesn't make you insanely wealthy and comfortably set your family up. $150 million vs $180 million on the other hand sets your family up for life and it sets the next few generations at least up for life as well.
