I'm pretty sure working every day, in a job you potentially hate, for the vast majority of your life, for a fraction of that wealth is more than equivalent to 3 kicks in the balls per day for rest of your life.

Honestly I think you would go crazy. The pain isn't the bad part, the problem is you're always thinking about when the next kick will come, and eventually it will drive you to paranoia, isolating everyone you care about. It's like chinese water torture. If the kicks were scheduled, it would be an eeeeeasy yes.

I just have to say...this is a fantastic question, I'm glad Wow coughed it back into existence. I'd have to say no, I can make enough money to live another way

. Also according to the "happiness paradox", where the personal happiness of very rich people is only slightly greater than the people who work for them, its not really worth it to have that much money.

If you bounce up and down on your heels hard a few times it makes the pain go away alot faster.

I'd do it. After awhile, I'm pretty sure a kick in the balls will be the least of my worries :D

Surely there must be some medical way to numb your balls to prevent the kick hurting. Surely. In the end, I'd have to do it, even if I decided I'd take 499 million, donate it to the Against Malaria Foundation, saving 24,500 lives approximately according to GiveWell, and then use the remaining million to immediately get myself cryonicised. If they can revive you from a frozen state, they can numb your balls with near 100% probability. There is no game-theoretic way to decline this deal. None.

This sounds like a bad Adam Sandler movie.

This is so tempting, but after years of kicks to the balls, I'd probably hate my life. Waking up really happy, but then you remember...
