Ratio:  :   :   :   =   :   :   :   = 8 : 6 : 3 : 1
Let the constant part be x
∴ 8x + 6x + 3x + 1x = 500000
   18x = 500000
   x = 27777.77778
Distribution of estate:
   First beneficiary:    8 * 27777.77778 = $22222.22
   Second beneficiary:    6 * 27777.77778 = 166666.67
   Third beneficiary    3 *27777.77778 = 83333.33
   Fourth beneficiary:    1 * 27777.77778 = 27777.78
