If he lives for ~650 years yea. If he puts it into something that gives 1% yearly interest he can spend ~ $7 mil per year and still have that 1 billion on the bank

Damn guys, maybe he just loves what he does ... makes enough money right now to do all the things he already wants to do. Perhaps he doesn't want to see some big company destroy something he has worked so hard to build up. It's not always about money.

No see if it was $1 million or even $10 million you can say "It's not about the money" at $1 BILLION, yeah it should be about the money.

He may just be like Craig Newmark and actually take pride in what he has created and not want to see it go to some money grubbing internet company...as dumb as I think it is, you have to give the guy props for sticking by something he created and believes in

well, if they're offering $1billion now, just think what they'll offer later. But he is rather stupid.

Maybe he hates Yahoo and is waiting for Google?

lol, oops, dropped a zero somewhere.

Don't forget to account for inflation - 4-5% p/a and he'd still have more money than he could ever spend

They may offer nothing later if the bubble bursts in the meantime.

It's the guys decision...I agree with FleshJosh. Who knows what his plan is, whatever it maybe it's his to make. Good luck to him! I also wonder just how much of that was cash and how much was stocks...Must be nice to be in a position to turn down a BILLION dollars!!

He should sell 50% of the company and keep the other 50%. I bet half a billion is a lot of fun to have.

Ok say he go it all cash all at one. Even under our tax code that $650 MILLION after taxes. Now say he puts it all in a non interest bearing account. He can still spend $17,800 a day EVERY DAY until he's 122 which would break a world record for longest lived person.
your an idiot he does not own 100% of the company
