guthmund: You would do that until the first time you were mugged at gunpoint.

With 80 million dollars "what would you do" becomes meaningless. Even if you put it in a 4% yield account (which is about the least you can earn) and left 3% to combat inflation, the remaining 1% is 800,000 a year (in constant dollars). You never have to try again.
