      Adjusting for inflation for let’s say the year 2000 that’s only 150 million. Divide that by four and that leaves you just under 40 million before taxes per band member in 2000 money.

      So it’s not really that much money.

          Also assumes they won’t do literally anything else to make money. I’m not a financial expert by any stretch, but investing 40 mill seems like enough to live off dividends for the rest of your life and still have whatever left for the kids to pull out. Again assuming that they don’t do anything else to make more money.
