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 would earmark that money for use for my son’s future. So, no change, just the hope that if the money did become mine, that I’d be able to pass it on to him.
