Now that you mention it, you're right, maybe some of that extra $300k went to the employees? I don't know because I wasn't in the room. I'm curious how much money employees got, and why $3.7 million was enough when $2.9 wasn't.

That entire $300k went to employees.

As for $3.7 vs $2.9...that was basically the number that, to oversimplify, would roughly give the outcome I wanted for "retirement" when it comes to investment interest over the next 50 years.

Basically, it's the number I felt comfortable with to not instantly feel like I needed to get back to work in a few years.

He worked out a win-win deal that gives them publicity and him $4M. In gaming terms, I believe this play is known as a QUAD KILL.
