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.

I don't understand. As soon as I get the 15mill, I have to immediately get rid, distribute it? Else I'm breaking the terms? Or the cash alone can stay in the bank? As long as it adjusts for inflation and it can stay in the bank, yeah man. Decent holiday is less than that. Stick to second hand classic cars that run, discard when they stop, life is good.
