What would you do if you won the $137 million mega millions jackpot tomorrow?

Question

which is about $60-70 million after taxes lump sum

I would buy a nice huge new house immediately (and have a pool, tennis court, basketball court) and buy all the cars i've ever wanted and dreamed of and then I will invest some and open up my own resturant buffet chain!

what would you do?

Answer 1

Distribute $10 million into 3 different bank accounts that have high interest rates, preferably one Swiss bank, one American bank and another off-shore account; there's 30 million right there... I would love to make as much money as I can off of it and have most of it hidden. It'd keep me from being greedy as well. I want to have something to leave for my daugther when I'm gone.

I'd buy a nice house, nothing spectacular, just a nice 4 bedroom, 3 bath. I would buy about fifty acres of land, basically the land that surrounds me. I would hire "farm hands". I would start to grow my own food and I would invest in having the best quality of vegetables and, possibly produce, depending where my land is. I wouldn't keep livestock though I might start an animal sanctuary for rescued animals that need a lot of land to heal and thrive (I'm not talking kitties and puppies, I'm thinking battered horses and wounded ocelots).

I'd hire a maid because I love to be in a clean environment, I am a neat freak. I would fully furnish and decorate my home. I would purchase all the electronics and cool things I would want.

That's about 13 million dollars already, if I wanted to afford to pay my staff well for the rest of my life, give or take a few years.

I would donate $50,000-$100,000 each to various organizations, people in need or things that I believe in. I would probably cap this generousity at around 3 million dollars.

I would invest the final $15 million of it in a business I have always wanted, or maybe to self-publish and distribute a book I have always wanted to write. I have a few books under my belt already but I haven't published any because I am waiting for the right time in my life to handle the stress and the investment. I would try to invest the last $15 million dollars so that even if the economy fails, even if there is war, I would still have something physical there, that I could hold on to. Stocks are like illusions, they will go up and down and have their cycles and there's nothing you can do about it. I will always have my books or business though.

Answer 2

Being sincere. I'm homeless and don't really know.

I suppose first I'd buy a place to live. I'm currently in Los Angeles, but with a lottery win I could be off the streets in a cooler climate so I suppose I'd probably move to Washington DC and get a place not far from the CIA.

Second, once there, I figure I'd probably attend House and Senate sessions and just learn about the government, how it functions and why it does what it does.

Third, I'd plan on infiltrating the CIA. I'd probably buy spy equipment and that kind of stuff to find a way in. My goal would be to get an office there, act like an employee, and just learn about all the cool stuff there.

I'd buy a Lexus - similar to the one I had before I became homeless - but probably a bigger model - like the larger SUV.

I'd also do work on the house's basement - I'd probably create a sex dungeon - and who knows, I might kidnap women and make them my sex slaves for fun. I wouldn't bring any to harm, i mean with the exception of the kidnapping, and I'd also be practicing mind control on each to train the ones I really liked into believing we were husband and wife.

I'd also commission my own building of a starship like the USS Enterprise. And pay some engineers to build a warp drive, a holodeck, and other things like that. Before I did that thought, I'd create a business based on simulating starship missions which would leverage computerized consoles and simulation rooms which looked and felt like the real thing to perfect the 'real' starship when it became real. .

I mean. All this is reason why I'll probably never be wealthy unless the odd world actually wants perverse weirdos like me who are fine with my uncommon moral behavior.

137 million probably wouldn't cover it. But yeah. I can't afford a lottery ticket so this ain't happening to me unless some unlucky bastard gives me their winning one by mistake.
