$200K tax free right now, or flip a coin $40M?

[Eternally Jaded]

The reality is that for most people, seeing a check that's made out to them for $200k vs a quarter toss for 40 million, most people are gonna take the assured win.

The only people who wouldn't are those for whom $200k is pocket change.

Ie, you're already in the 7 or eight figure club.

From there it's weighing what you've already got against what you stand to get.

200K and into the portfolio it goes

If this was something I just came into by chance, 100k is going into crypto and the rest into the ira or bonds or something.

I feel like these answers would change if this was real. Someone ready to put 200k in your bank account instantly would have y'all pondering

Coin flip. If i lose we just gone rob this imaginary rich person anyway

Edit: After the Google flip (which would've got dude robbed), i seen it was brought up that the odds are more 50/50 if you do the spinning coin flick. Regular flips are only 50/50(ish) because one side is already facing up. I don't think it matters if you flip that hoe 10 feet in the air tho

Yall short sighted I win that flip I can start a career doing motivational speaking about manifestation and positive thinking . Write a book or some shyt

Coin flip.

Expected probabilities:
50% * $40M >>>> 100%*$200k

yes that is fine I accept that risk. But I don't take the coin toss my chances of being able to retire early are 0%. So I'd rather take the 50/50 odds on that.

Retire early, or retire immediately? I'm pretty sure throwing 200K into some kind of investment and sitting on it for 15 years can have retiring earlier than most.
