   'Successful' might need some further definition - if you mean 'best' and it is   
   your taste that would define this, your being dead might be problematic. If   
   you mean the one that yields most money -giving the most to the one with the   
   most is very biblical    
   but might cause resentment and difficulties among your surviving descendants   
   if your lit estate is worth anything.If it isn't, perhaps no one would be   
   inclined to enter the competition?
