A street named after you

A village in Hungary is offering streets to be named after people who are willing to pay for it. The cost is around ~520 USD per metre. The street names will remain unchanged for 300 years. Very long time indeed !
The shortest street in length is 242 metres .. the cost is 125944 USD

Also as per hungarian laws, a street cannot be named after a living person. Hence if you decide to have a street named after you, the name change to the street will happen after your death.

The most important clause is that the person must have been famous/prominent in his/her sphere of life.

Interested in immortality ?
