You all are misinterpetting this. If in the rest of your life you spend 2 hours or more fixing door hinges the 500 million is revoked and if you're in the negative now they take your organs to make up for the deficit.

    If I had half a billion dollars I can promise you I would be spending zero seconds of the rest of my life screwing in door hinges.

    I can imagine the genie thinking “Bwahaha I tricked you!” and then getting increasingly frustrated that I never fix a door hinge again even though I didn’t notice the trick wording.

    Right? It's like... let's see. I have half a billion dollars. I just noticed my door hinge isn't working correctly. Do I

    A. Attempt to fix it, requiring maybe a trip to the hardware store, but at the minimum some time and effort
    B. Ask my assistant to call someone and go back to playing video games

    I know what I'd do.
