You're stupid. What makes you think the money will serve any good purpose if you don't take it?

I'll add detail:
Donald Trump shows you a room with $1,000,000,000 in it. He then says "Take this money, or I will douse it in gasoline and light it on fire."

Someone else probably needs it more than I do. Call me an idiot if you want. Decisive beats Indecisive.

I'd rather be indecisive than stupid. If you want something good done with the money, then take it and do that good thing yourself.

Also, really guys? Investing a billion dollars? You do not need any more than that, you'd already have enough to buy a brand new Aston Martin every week for nearly a century.

Let's suppose you decided to live off $100,000/year, and give your children that much to live off when they reached 20 years old, and they did the same and so on. Assuming three kids each and an average life span of 80 years, you would not run out of money until the 5th generation. You do not need any more money.
