Bill Gates = Stud

geez, no wonder he's a freaking billionaire

Yeah, I've seen those pictures before. I would pose on my desk like that too if I became as successful as him. He's only leaving $10 million to his kid(s). The rest is going to charity. Even though $10 million is a lot, I'd still feel angry if I was one of the kids. I mean, if you can give them a dream life, why wouldn't you? You can only do so much with $10 million before you have to actually start watching what you spend.

I suddenly feel sexy all over.

$10 Million heh, you'd be able to stick it in an account and make $1 Million a year by sitting of your butt...

What??? that's only $84,000 a month and $2800 a day... how can anyone live off that?

isn't interest something like 2.5% a month? if it's in one of those whatcha-mucallit account?

Is that actually Bill Gates or a look-a-like?

Seriously, I haven't actually scrutinised his face thoroughly before so I only have a vague idea how he looks like. >.<

Are you kidding me??? If you want to spoil a few lives, give them $10 million.

Even the kids of Bill Gates need to learn to work.

If its in a CD. Davings accounts generally only pay out less than 2% for really good ones and checking accounts are only a fraction of 1%.

Happydude · 01-18-2005, 01:52 PM

ok...well...even 1% a month of 10mil is 100,000.....man....*shakes fist*

Crash · 01-18-2005, 01:57 PM

a short term cd pays out like 2%, a savings account with a million, probably 2.5%, an annuity willl give you probably 5% but what I meant is a variable annuity which gives you between 10-15% realistically over a 20+ year period

Maybe in a CD.

You probably can get like 4 or 5% on a RothIRA.

And there are some high yield stocks that might net you 7 or 8% But those carry more risk.

Edit: strangler and crash got here first
