Personal Revival Trusts

As reported in the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) via The Week:
At least a dozen multimillionaires have left money to themselves in hope of being brought back to life. The immortality seekers have not only arranged to be cryogenically frozen after death, reports The Wall Street Journal, but have put their wealth in “personal revival trusts” that will be waiting for them when scientists resuscitate them a century or two into the future. Arizona resort operator David Pizer, 64, has left himself roughly $10 million and calculates that, through the magic of compound interest, he might wake up as “the richest man in the world.”
There is a way to live forever, but this is not it! This is.
