What would you do with 100 million dollars?

Question

I think that your answer will determine what you value. If you value yourself the most you will spend it on yourself. Those who value life most will spend it preserving life. those who value prestige and honor most will spend it thus forth. this is an ink blot question. I only ask that you be honest. and keep it clean. Children read these things. (its easy to preach when you only make 3K a year)

Answer 1

I'd allocate a perticular amount to myself on which to maintain myself for the rest of my life I would then put the rest into a undetermined alotment and with that money I would dispurse of it in philathropic ways and maybe a few lavish vacations.

Answer 2

I'd try my damndest to get fired...but slowly.

Screw the dresscode on Monday.

Use nothing but slang on Tuesday

Spend all day Wednesday surfing the web and eating pistachios...throwing the shells on the floor

Thursday would be an eight hour cocktail break..of course I'd offer to share.

Friday...

Well, I figure by Friday I'd be in a position where I could tell everyone goodbye.

After that?

I'd set up trusts for my kids.

I'd buy my wife's aunt a house so she didn't have to live in an old trailer.

I'd invest a good bit of it.

I'd continue giving to my favorite charities at about the same percentage of income that I do now.

Answer 3

This would be a blessing from God above.
How I use it would have to be thought about wisely and sparingly.

Would I deserve it? No. There are more people on this earth that could use the $$ and are in greater need than I am.

Belong to 2 church parishes. Since it was from God, I would donate generously, and to any struggling schools that need it.

First and foremost is family. It would pay for my 3 brothers furthering education. My mom wouldn't have to work, unless she chose it. I would further my education, too.

Would repair the home we live in.

As for the rest, the needy would give it in anonymous ways.

Thanks for asking, and I would be a little over my head with this windfall, so asking God to help us would be most essential.

P.S. Armond, I would glady share some with you, too. Peace.

Answer 4

You probably won't like me at all after this but I'd...
Get a maid, put an addition on my house, get a new car for me and a truck for my husband, give my daughter enough money so she could stay home from work with her daughter and have another baby, have electricity installed at our cabin in the woods, make my husband retire and golf, hunt and play Texas hold 'em all of the time, put money away for my granddaughter's education and buy some new clothes to start. Of course I'd do many things for others as well but I certainly wouldn't give it all away.

Answer 5

That's alot of money so I would hire an account and lawyer. Most of it would go to family, friends and all kinds of charities. The charities I would give the most to would be animals, babies, and environmental. I'd do alittle traveling but only to places that needed my money the most. I'd have to stash some of the money away for myself because I obviously would not work. I'd be too busy working on giving my money away.

Answer 6

I would buy a house for myself (w/ my bf), my parents, and my bf's parents. Then I would pay for my college (yes I would still work because I want to be a Vet no matter what!).

Any homeless or poor people (such as my bf's mom who is single and supporting 6 kids) I would buy a house for, or hand $10,000 to them so they can restart their lives.

I would not give to a charity because its impersonal to me. I like to persoanlly hand over something and have that sense of happiness that I did something that helped someone else and made me feel really good.

Of course I would buy stuff I wanted too.

Thats my honest answer.

Answer 7

Whew! That's a lot of money to spend. I would make sure my family and friends were taken care of for the rest of their lives. Oh, and myself. Then I would donate, donate, and give. I would invest some of it. Everyone around me would be happy because I'm a very sharing person. :)

Answer 8

Don't worry,I'll try not to appear like a Preacher or a Self Righteous for that matter.But,I want to let you know my honest answer to your question.If I have that 100 M Dollars,I would surely give 20% to my Church.The remaining 80% will be used for business and I would hire people who really need to work for their families.And of course i will always share my business profits to the less fortunate people. 20% will still be given to the Church month in and month out.

Answer 9

Very large donations would be made towards Alzheimer's disease, Cancer, and Lou Gehrig's disease split 3 ways between all of them. I do not want it when these diseases need to be cured.
I have 2 aunts with Alzheimer's 1 late uncle due to Lou Gehrig's and my late father due to cancer.
These diseases Stink try looking at someone who's muscles deteriorate and can't move but brain still function (Lou Gehrig's),
someone that doesn't even remember yesterday or 1 second ago Alzheimer's, Last but not least Cancer (darn I wish there was earlier detection).

Answer 10

Provided that it's tax-free, I'd invest $1 million for my closest friends and open as many accounts as possible (gotta remember that they only insure up to $200,000 per account) so that my friends can each withdraw $1 million each for whatever they please. I'd also set aside moneys for the kids to go to universities. I'd try to buy land to build homes for my friends and relatives and have gates manned by armed guards.

My best friend and my daughter and my ex-wife would receive at least $5 million each (in accounts as mentioned above). I'd keep $5 million and invest $1 million for myself, too. The rest would be used by my friends and relatives to help the poor, elderly and disabled with food, clothes and medicines. I'd use the invested monies to rehabilitate abandoned buildings for the elderly and disabled manned with supervised home attendants and security, Laundromat and recreational facilities. My friends and I would drop by unannounced to inspect periodically.

I'd set up computer classes for kids on the verge of dropping out where they'd learn to type, improve their reading and writing skills and stay off the streets, and I'd try to get as many of these kids into colleges. For that, I'd re-rehabilitate 2 buildings where one would be dorms for the young ladies and the other would be for the young men (NO hanky-panky) with Laundromats and security (that's right, no partying on premises and no drugs of any kind). They can only stay on the dorms as long as they're doing their undergraduate studies and they stay out of trouble with the law!

I would also donate to help feed, rescue and care for as many cats and dogs that would normally be euthanized and I'd have those kids living in the dorms do voluntary work at the animal shelters, caring, grooming and petting for the cats and dogs.

IF only dreams came true!
