If you had 10,000,000 (million) dollars what would you honestly do with it, and why?

Question

Please be totally honest, do not be afraid to be oppionionated, Hope I spelled that one right. Just keep it clean!

Answer 1

First off I would pay my kids tuition for college totally, then I would set up trusts for each of them. The rest I would invest so I never had to work again,

Answer 2

I would buy airtime on national television to express my point of view, beliefs and opinions to the entire country.
Before I did so however, I would have some fun with it. I would likely make some anonymous donations to charity but just to irritate people and amuse myself would announce:
"To each and every homeless person a cardboard box!"

After this I would probably employ the services of a sculptor, have a life-size statue of myself made and plant it right in the middle of my front lawn for all to see.
It is likely that it would be a pose similar to Michaelangelo's David and that I would be just as naked.

I would then put the remainder in a high-yield savings account and simply live off of the interest. I would continue working as I do and living as I do simply because of the fact that even the most wealthy still work. Let's face it, eventually you'd get bored anyway if you did nothing but play all the time. It would lose it's appeal- like eating too much candy.
Occassionally I would take time off to do something fun and perhaps even a little crazy but I'm happy with my life the way it is. I'm already self-employed, financially secure and single. What's more, I fully intend to keep it that way.
At any rate, even with ten million dollars I wouldn't get carried away and would ensure that it lasted the duration of my lifetime. I wouldn't screw it all off and end up back where I started. I would continue to watch my spending habits. For instance: Rather than spending $100 for a hooker, I would buy five $20 hookers.

Answer 3

Put 2 Million in Savings account.....Give 2 Million to my parents, 2 Mil to my Sister and her husband, 1 Million to my buddy Dever, 1 Mil to my friend Katie....put the other 2 in a checking account and start touring around the world....end up on some beach, buy a house, and live off the intrest of the 2 mil in my savings account :) Ohhhhh, Happiness :)

Answer 4

Buy a nice house, nice car, put some in savings then invest the rest. I think can be comfortable w/ a 10% return on 9.5 million.

I'd probably still work. But, that is only because I am living this situation, & I'm way to young to retire.

Nice does not mean (million dollar). Nice something you can be proud of. Nothing more nothing less.

Pay off my house, fund the rest of my daughter's college fund, go on a round the world trip, fund a comfortable retirement and give the rest to financially strapped relatives and charity.
