I'd take the $10 mil. Childhood seems like it would be a lot less fun if I had to go through it again but now with the jaded mind of a middle aged man.

I can for sure find a way to have fun with ten million dollars though πŸ˜‰

10 mil is definitely easier, but if you memorized important global events and stock market crashes or explosions you could potentially build an empire. 10 mil would be chump change at that point. You could potentially maneuver yourself into positions of extreme power and help to shape the world, possibly change it for the better in the process.

Gotta somehow get seed money. Even investing your allowance would only get you a couple of thousand. You're investing doesn't really pay off until you're old enough and rich enough to put real money in the game.

See my other comment on this. I’m fairly sure I could get my parents to listen, whom would then do the investing for me, with a lot more than just an allowance (kids can’t invest anyway).
