Kobe, a kid working a summer construction job in Belgium whose crew found a buried stash of gold worth €9M or 10.5M USD in today’s money, is the inspiration for this question. I’m assuming in that event, half goes to the property owner and it’s 4 construction workers and a foreman splitting the other half. The rightful owner has 5 years to claim according to local law. What would you do while you wait that out?
I already have a similar enough situation. I’ve worked for several startup companies where part of my compensation is stock options that promise to make lots of money if. It’s not guaranteed so I’ll just continue normally until the time is up and I find out.
