Deep-frozen riches

Bloomberg published a funny article about rich people who participate in a program to freeze their carcasses immediately after death. The idea here is that in the future (perhaps) people will learn to defrost and revive such cadavers – and then the time will come to take the prepared semi-finished products out of the freezer.

The only question that remains is: what to do with the bucks? Where should we put them so that they will definitely survive and have some value in 300 years? And will a defrosted corpse be legally considered the same person in order to inherit all this? It would be a great shame to unfreeze on the Beautiful Planet of the Future only to be the poorest person there.

So, it turns out that there are already special finance advisors who specialize in precisely such problems. They advise, so to speak, those who have already bought a ticket to the freezer. Truly, there is no problem with money that a financier will not undertake to solve (for a corresponding commission, of course).
