What would a 2020's prize money inheritance look like, and how much would Brewster need to spend on "fair value goods" in 30 days to be realistic to you?
Brewster's Millions is a comedic novel written by George Barr McCutcheon (Richard Greaves) in 1902
There have been many screen plays based off of the novel.
The 1902 novel: Grandfather leaves Brewster $1 million in a will, but a competing will from another relative requires Brewster must spend the $1 million in the first year or forfeit a $7 million inheritance from the other relative.
The 1945 version: Inherit $8 million but must spend $1 million on fair value goods, without keeping any assets, within 60 days.
The 1985 version: Receive $1 million upfront or inherit $300 million but must spend $30 million on fair value goods, without keeping any assets, within 30 days.
I recently listened to WBD693 with
HODL (npub1rtl…jtfs) and
petermccormack (npub14mc…frlx) where "Brewster's Millions" was mentioned in passing.
Having never seen the movie i went digging and watched the 1945 version. Highly recommend.
The podcast was also pretty good 🤙
