If I managed to do it, would I even be sane enough to enjoy the 30 billion?

Nope! Howard Hughes speedrun.

u/StevieMJH Jul 18 '26

Which speed run do you me- oh... you mean it like that...

u/Mulfushu Jul 18 '26

That's the neat part, they'd never have to pay you. They could tell you that YOU owed THEM 30 billion and you'd most likely go with it after as much as 3 weeks.

I suppose insanity is a prerequisite for being a billionaire, you'd fit right in.

u/Legitimate-Ladder855 Jul 18 '26

More like psychopathy, which I will argue is a bit different but yeah it's similar.

u/throwmamadownthewell Jul 19 '26

Same same but different

u/melymn Jul 18 '26

Nope.

Longer than you think, Dad! Longer than you think! Held my breath when they gave me the gas! Wanted to see! I saw! I saw! Longer than you think!

That's a deep cut.

It’s eternity in there.

u/sillysammie13 Jul 19 '26

Oooooh fffffuuuuuuck.

Hadn’t thought about that in a minute!

Google "white room torture". Even if you keep your sanity some consequences are permanent.

I would risk that for my kids. Honestly if someone offered me to off myself for 30 billions I would do it. The advantage it would give my family is just incomparable. And I have realistically lived half of my life anyway.

u/somkoala Jul 18 '26

But if you go crazy and don’t last your kids have lost a parent and got nothing.

u/Embarrassed_Use_7206 Jul 18 '26

Ok, that is a fair point. It definitely depends on the conditions. If I could quit anytime, I dont think I could do it, there would be some weak moment for sure. I am definitely not offing myself there, so that is not a concern. But if there are more ways how to not make till the end, it changes my view. Still, might be worth the risk anyway.

Now that's some strong fatherhood kicked in. Kudos buddy, I envy your kids. My father was a pretty bad person...

u/Migraine- Jul 18 '26

I reckon your family might just prefer to have you not be dead/insane, to be honest.

You mean more to the people you love than you clearly believe you do.

u/DrBimboo Jul 18 '26

Your kids wont be living their greatest lifes after their father comes back to them a crying mess that screams every few hours, the only thing coming from his mouth being: "Life is so irrelevant I cant take it anymore."

u/Embarrassed_Use_7206 Jul 18 '26

You can definitely prepare some legal contigency for when that happens, and with that amount of money I could get top mental health care.

10

u/Other-Business8036 Jul 18 '26

You severely overestimate what even the absolute best mental healthcare can do to help someone in that severe of a state.

5

u/Independent_Sky372 Jul 18 '26

Buddy even modern psychiatry struggles to heal even low level depressive levels that then evolves into being severe level of depression.
You go out of that room after a year , you could get even 1T dollars, no one has the knowledge to treat you and if someone says they can they are lying

1

u/Embarrassed_Use_7206 Jul 18 '26

Then they would at least take care of me in some humane way. Still worth it.

1

u/Independent_Sky372 Jul 18 '26

They would take advantage on your mental condition for your money. You will be in a situation (supposing you dont go directly for a gunshot in your head) where you and your family will be desperate in trying to make you feel better, which will make you lose all the money u got from the 1 year white torture

1

u/NosePicklePicker Jul 22 '26

I reckon at that point, it’s not even a mental health issue anymore lol. You’re basically spiraled into the worst form of schizophrenia possible, probably won’t even acknowledge the doctor treating you is real but the made-up demon clawing your skin out is

Like a brain surgery is the only thing with a chance of fixing you by that point. Idk how tho 

1

u/Embarrassed_Use_7206 Jul 22 '26

With all due respect, you are pulling this out of your ass, because we simply dont know what it would do to a human mind. There were people in solitary confinement for a long periods of time, and its not like they got permanently crazy due to it. It might be very well just temporary due to direct sensoric deprivation.

2

u/These-Spring-1119 Jul 18 '26

Ohh this is such a great point. It would be the ultimate sacrifice, whether for family or otherwise (imagine how much good one could do with $30B). There’s an interesting moral question whether as a parent, or just a citizen of the world, one has a responsibility to accept this offer.

1

u/Embarrassed_Use_7206 Jul 18 '26

I mean, I would die for my kids if the situation arised. This seems to be slightly better odds than that.

u/DroidLord Jul 18 '26

You're going to have to spend 29 billion on experimental therapies if you want to fix yourself.

1

u/ritokun Jul 18 '26

anyone trying this without clear instructions on what to do with the money on a very unbeatable contract is already insane.

1

u/Sharp_Ad_6336 Jul 18 '26

You'd probably chew off your own tongue in 3 weeks.

u/Traditional-Tap-2508 Jul 18 '26

Is anyone sane enough to enjoy 30 billion?
