He can buy half a house in Sunnyvale, California. (And after he pays his income tax, 1/3 or 1/4 of a house.)

Don't forget the property tax. Also, some of those are fix-er-uppers, and basic remodels are $100k's out here.

Edit: Don't want to sound too negative. This is a great windfall. Simply sticking it into an investment account should pull in financial independence/retirement by 5-20 years, depending on his age.
