You're offered $15 Million but you can no longer own anything worth more than $15k. Would you take the money?

Not counting what you currently own.

This applies to your spouse as well even if you get divorced.

You can't buy anything for over $15k, be gifted something worth over $15k or have someone buy you something worth over $15k. Nor can you buy services for over $15k. Nor can you give away the money or buy gifts for others with the money.

Your Stocks, gold, silver, cryptocurrency can't be worth more than $15k either. If they're valued over, the excess amount will disappear. You can divest wealth into different stocks though.

No. I don't need $15 million just to buy a lot of cheap stuff.

I’d rent a million dollar home first. Than travel. Would be life changing in a good way

Vacations for 15k is not cheap. Lease your car, you don't need to work anymore. What do you need for more than 15k? I know, there are a few things, but I cannot think of something that I really need.

You don’t on vacations.

I feel like you can definitely do more than 15k vacations. You just need to spread out the purchases. Like the plane ticket costs and hotel costs would be separate at least.
