For a really large amount of money would you become a slave for a limited time?

If for being a slave for 7 years you would be rewarded freedom and 800 million dollars, would you? If you took the 3 year option you would be given 500 million, and given 150 million of you entered into slavery for 18 months. As a slave the owner could not maim or disfigure you, starve you, have you eat foods not for humans (no diet of dog foot etc.), they cannot leave you physically impaired, tattoo your body, violate you sexually, burn you with cigarettes, torture you, or have you engage in activity that would be dangerous and likely to lead to death. They can, use harsh coercion methods, they can slap you, whack you with heavy phonebooks, flog you with rubber hoses, spit on you, leave you without heat, not provide adequate blankets etc. and they cannot work you more than 11 hours a day and must give you one day of rest a week. Truthfully, would you ever think of it? What if you hit really hard times, would it look better? When you think of the fact you’d be set for life at the end, it would still be unpalatable?
