BTCCSquare news:
The $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot, the second-largest in history, could instantly elevate the winner's net worth beyond that of Hollywood and sports elites. Opting for the lump sum payment of $826.4 million WOULD yield approximately $628.1 million after federal taxes—assuming no state deductions—placing the recipient ahead of Brad Pitt ($400 million), Serena Williams, and Tom Brady in personal wealth rankings.
The winner's windfall highlights the staggering scale of lottery payouts relative to decades of high-earning celebrity careers. Pitt's role in 'The Big Short,' a film chronicling the 2008 financial crisis, ironically underscores how sudden wealth accumulation contrasts with traditional paths to fortune.
