You look at different jobs, how high the risk of dying is and how much they pay, and work out from that how much more pay people demand for say a 1% risk increase. Then you scale that up to 100% risk.

So if you were to work an average job no one has ever survived, and you died on the day you retire, you would've earned those 12mil
