Jason Weaver turned down 2 million for the lion king

I would have took the 2mil. You can invest that 2mil and probably make double the amount you can from royalties.

People on the coli think that investing your money automatically means you will accumulate gains. It doesn't work that way. There's a lot of risk with investing 2 mil. Also for it to accumulate could take far longer. Loss could be involved as well. It's not that simple; not sure why some of y'all think this way.

I think you're missing the point.. You can buy an apartment complex and have cash flow and appreciation and tax breaks. You can also buy stocks and make money easy. The issue is most people are financially stupid and they don't understand money.

Simba is getting checks for a song he sang 20 years ago. He has to do 0 work and is getting paid.

Buying apartments, stock etc is also a good play, but how many people really are finacially literate like that.

Singing a 4 min song and getting broke off for generations > dealing with lawyers, financial advisors, if stock market crashes etc etc

How you know how much money he got off of royalty checks? Lion King made Billions of dollars, even 1 percent of that is more than 2 million.

He can buy an apartment complex with the royalty checks and have it both ways. You nikkas sound goofy tryna turn this into an L.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

How much is he getting off the smart guy checks tho??

You don't control returns. You can only hope for the best. Even Warren Buffet would tell you that.

Bruh he was 13. He would’ve fukked that money up and been assed out. His mom was a smart cookie. Now think how many rental properties you can buy when you getting $50,000 to $100,000 a year FOR LIFE. I’m just throwing a guess out there. We don’t know how much he’s getting but that was clearly the right move.

Like... had he took the 2 million and took 100k for himself and invested 1.9 million in Nike in 1994 he would have over 100 million dollars right now. I think that's why Vlad said he could have took the 2 million and been better off.

Hindsight is 20/20. Shut your dumbass up. No one is putting 1.9 million dollars in a stock and letting it sit for 25 years

It's not hindsight it's obvious you take the money.. I'm done because 90% of the world are financially stupid

Saying to invest in certain stock 25 years ago is the definition of hindsight.

The original. He was young Simba.

I Think He Was Only The Singing Voice

Wasn’t Apple about to go out of business back then? Imagine how much stock he could got for $2 million and how much it would be worth now. Might be a billionaire after all the splits apple stock has had since then
Edit: just looked it up. It was $1.11 a share and there has been 3 splits since then (share amount doubles in a split). Each $1000 invested in 1994 would been $3 million in 2015 (article I found was from 2015). Like 0% chance any one would did this just interesting thought exercise I guess
Honestly him getting $2 million for an animated film back then kind of sounds like

I don't think the options were between brilliant investments and slow money.
It was more like mediocre investing and cutting into comfortable money.

He made the best decision.

2 million for a song and Scottie Pippen only got 3 million that year.. Michael Jordan 4 million.. He would have made more money than 75% of NBA players.. 2m in 1994 was a lot of money so I'm with you calling
