What’s a perfect March Madness bracket worth? In Warren Buffett’s mind, about $1 billion.
According to Rob Wile of Business Insider, Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway, has teamed up with Cleveland Cavaliers owner and Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert to offer college basketball fans a shot at becoming a billionaire.
The offer is simple: If you fill out a flawless, twinkling NCAA men's basketball March Madness bracket—you win all the enchiladas. And by "enchiladas," I mean, $1 billion, to be "paid out in 40 annual installments of $25 million," as Wile notes.

Should a contestant manage this ridiculously unlikely feat (the chances of filling out the perfect bracket are one in 9.2 quintillion—a nine with 18 zeroes), the sum will be doled out in the aforementioned installments.
