You do realize that if you take either the gold or the cash you're still roughly a billion dollars away from being a billionaire? At $72m you still have about 93% of the way to go before you hit even one billion. Elon is currently somewhere north of $700bn.
I'm just pointing this out because many people don't realize how excessively rich billionaires actually are. Many still seem to think we're talking about cutting into people's rainy day savings when we're calling for billionaire's fortunes getting taxed. And nobody earns that kind of money.
With all of the above said, if it is legit and comes with no strings attached, I will gladly take the ~$70m in gold (with approximately the dimensions of a microwave). Even if I have to pay taxes on it.
While gold does incur a conversion cost when putting it in a bank account, the same is true for a large amount of cash (especially when it is in a foreign currency). And gold has an intrinsic value which only increases over time. Thanks!
Hey please explain the microwave comparison. I didn't understand that part.
Gold has a density of 19.283 kg/l, so 500kg of Gold would only be about 26l big
Gold is really heavy, so 500 Kg fits in a small space.
For context:
500kg cash in 100 USD bills (like on the picture) would be roughly 50.000.000 USD.
And 500kg of Gold would currently be 71,396,000 USD.
