What Would You Do if You Won the Lottery?

Question

Say you won---straight take home 100 Million Dollars......
What would you do with it?
First off, I'd retire.
Then I'd move somewhere on a beach.
Buy my family gigantic homes.
Give to some charities.
Of course they'd all have nice cars too, and I think that would be enough for them to retire.....
I think I'd build some kind of nature reserve somewhere.
Who knows? AHHHHH!

First of all, to the guy that said he'd give me a dollar to blow him---screw you.
Second of all, the other guy.....you would buy me? WTF
Grow up.

OH, and with a tithe, I think you only pay tithes on earned income, so you could just make a nice fat donation! Tax deductable. Though I could hardly imagine investing, I could live out my life (and several other people could as well) with that much money!

Answer 1

If we netted $100 Million after all the taxes had been paid, then we could live comfortably just on the interest.

If, however, the taxes had not yet been paid, that would bring the amount down to approximately $55 Million to $60 Million.

At that point, I would do the following with approximately $60 Million:

1. Buy apartment building in New York City - Approx. $10 Mil
2. Buy 1,000 acres of land in Montana - Approx. $1 Million
3. Buy a beach house rental property at Myrtle Beach - $2 Mil
4. Buy an office building in Dallas, Tx. - Approx. $10 M
6. Buy 1,000 acres in Colorado - Approx. $1 Million
7. Design and Build a house in Colorado - Approx. $4 Million
8. Give $1Mil to each of our children /Grand-children - $12 Million
9. Pay an attorney/investment banker to manage money $1 Mil
10. Bank/invest/buy a few small rental properties - live off the interest on the rest.

Answer 2

I would retire on the spot, buy homes for those in my family that don't own theirs and finish paying for the homes that the others still owe on. I'd take a vacation to Ireland and also enjoy visiting Paris, France. Some of the money would go to charities and then I'd just have to think the rest out over a good massage and pampering lol

Answer 3

First I would thank God that I found the ticket on the ground. Then I would give 10% to my church, some to other ministries, buy my wife, our kids, and myself new cars. Build a new house. give plenty to our parents, and brothers, and sisters. Put 1 million in banks and live off the interest. Invest the rest.

Answer 4

1. I'd call my husband's commander in the Army and have him discharged.
2. I'd pay off all the bills and the mortgage.
3. I'd pay off my family's mortgages.
4. I'd buy a pair of motorcycles and new cars.
5. I'd hire a interior decorator and have them renovate my house.
6. I'd donate a large chunk to the two animal rescues I volunteer for so they can build a new animal shelter in town and get an animal ambulance.
7. I'd get my husband a passport and we would travel with our pets.

Answer 5

I'd buy a Private Island resort for myself, fiancee (she'd be my wife by then) and have a teacher living there with the house staff to educate our kids. We'd live there about 4 or 5 months a year. The rest of the time spent traveling and on cruise ships.

Answer 6

Retire.

Buy an RV and travel the U.S. in search of my soul-mate.

Find my mate, and then both of us go shopping for a home to settle down in,.and start a family.

And enjoy the remaining time on this planet not having to worrying about how to work to pay for all the weekly and monthly bills ever again.
