Meet
Rob Berman,
musician and game show contestant extraordinaire.
He
answered the following question correctly and won a chance to
compete on ABC's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?":
Can
you place the following four Bruce Willis movies in order from
the earliest to the most recent?
(1)
Blind Date (2) Death Becomes Her (3) The Sixth Sense (4) The Fifth
Element
Not
only did Rob know his Willis movies (1, 2, 4, 3), but he knew
enough to win $125,000: by anyone's standards, a major windfall.
|
 
What
to do with the winnings?
It's a question not everyone
gets to ask, but the
answer can help anyone decide how to invest.
