For the Powerball jackpot winner, Cramer said, “When you’re this super rich, your main concern isn’t the tax officer. One has to worry about inflation, especially hyperinflation. That’s the only thing that can really threaten that nine-figure fortune. “
He continued, “So what is of value in times of hyperinflation?” Cramer revealed, “You may not know, but it’s precious metals, real estate, and great art.” The Mad Money Host has long been a gold proponent. He advised, “As for gold, yes, 5% jackpot in gold bars.” However, he also warned: “Don’t store the gold at home; put it in lockers.” Cramer added:
If you won the lottery go ahead, yes I’ll say 5% in Bitcoin.
Cramer went on to suggest, without going into detail, “Don’t buy everything at once, crypto could be incredibly volatile. Don’t buy on the weekend. But it is an important new store of value. “
In addition to recommending investments, Cramer provided some general advice for Powerball jackpot winners such as: B. watch out for fraudsters and collect their winnings as a lump sum and not as an annuity. “Always take the flat rate. You can put it in government bonds and the interest you pile up will make you more than you would if you took the pension, “said the Mad Money host.
Cramer himself started investing in BTC because of concerns about massive inflation. In December, he announced that he had bought Bitcoin but sold the cryptocurrency earlier this month. He said treating BTC like a stock, “As I tell people … when you have a double you take out a lot … it’s just no different from a stock.”
