So, the powerball is up to cool $180 Mill... I'm off to buy some tix - but curious, what would you do with this kind of loot if you won?
Keep in mind that in reality (cash out) option you'd get about 25% of that - which is still a smokingly-cool $45 mill cash money.
So, what would it be? for real.. not something stupid like fill my pool with dom perignon and fill it with h00kerz.:clown:
key is: REAL WISHES or what you'd spend the dough on. |

| I would give half to my mom, take a little bit for myself and go backpacking around Europe, buy a cottage on a cliff in Nova Scotia. Move my family out with me. The remainder I would fly over Africa and drop from a plane. Oh wait, that currency wouldn't work. I would want to drop it somewhere. Leave large bills in secret places for people to find and watch their faces as they discover it. Donate to Micro-loans, etc. Money would only corrupt me :( damnit, I want want to splurge a little, but I don't know what on. Wine? OMG I would want my own winery and Sicilian body masseuise and midget entertainers! and hand-made soap boutique! and millions and millions of PEZ. |

i would build a massive club somewhere in europe
and run it 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, with the best names non-stop
and let all my friends in for free
and become addicted to drugs and alcohol and meaningless sex
until i lose all my money, but still have just enough to buy a little villa somewhere on the mediterranean, but then become addicted to meaningful sex and tanning
:wtf: |

Which stock, WebVan.com, Pets.com, or Arthur Anderson (oh wait -they were privately held) :D
J/K. I think with proper fund management and this kind of dough, you could invest into high-yeild energy mutual funds. Return this quarter alone has been astronomical. But I think the minimun investment is $100,000,000. :( Defenitely not for the "middle-class" millionaires.
Personally, I'd buy a house somewhere near happening scene - like Miami, a house in the Hamptons, a Murcielago for me, Testarosa for my wifey, a custom BMW M5x (4WD M5), set my relatives up with some type of financial instrument that would give them a steady annual income, invest my cash into some kind of vehichle that would yeild about $250k/year pay and kick back somewhere on a beach in Nice, Monaco, or Ibiza and - watch my money grow while I chill'.
...oh, and take all my friends out for some Chinese food....
in Hong Kong :D Followed by sushi in Tokyo, Shashlik (shishkebab) in Tbilisi or Erevan, Borsh in Kiev, Fish and Chips in London, and finest ganja in Amsterdam... :crazy: |

| I'd probably buy a setup with a few hundred records (that would only ammount to a few thousand). With the rest, I'd live off the rest of my life without working, living in apartements in cities around the world. Eventually I could open a night club and/or a restaurant. |
