Don't forget also that the prize is 3 people share 80k so it could be..
50k
20k
10k
I know this is still a big amount but if you do have a profitable expert please do tell me! I live around extremely wealthy people that would definitely invest (this has been a plan of mine for a while, other people invest in me, i take a commission and then start my own account).
Sorry for the thread hijack but speaking of money I have personnaly met:
-Owners of Monster Audio Cable
-Owners of Ducatti Motorcycles
-Inventor of the SMS
-Owners of 7Up Soda
The city is ranked 6th wealthiest town in the USA (Beverly Hills stands in 24th)

Anywho you could risk this by having your expert stolen (however i dont know if it could really get abused, you might score a job somewhere) or you could keep it to yourself and invest with it
