What would you do with ten million dollars?

[Stacyrect]

I'd buy MMO-Champ and delete it from existance

[Shadoweye]

I would do what i always do... nothing... i dont do shit, so i will continue to do shit.... just with more money.

[freakyduck]

Pay off any debts i have, buy my parents retirement home, then get myself a good education.

I mean, high school in the US was great and set me up nicely....i just think i could do better..

It's more than an upper middle class in Sweden. You just need about 15-25 million swedish crowns to have like upper middle class off interest, 10 million dollars is like 80 million swedish crowns. <.<

With current interest rates that is about 5k dollars a month or 4.4k euro. That is without taxes etc.. the interest plans thing doesn't work that well anymore. Not that you would have to fear ever needing to work with that sum though, but 2 decades ago you could have spend it and still live on the interest :/.

I'll tell you what I'd do with 10 million dollars. Two chicks at the same time.

There's bonds, and investments too. It's not the optimal way to use the money always for the biggest returns, but most people don't mind living a middle class life, especially if they don't have work, and if they do work that's money on top of that.

Never paid taxes, thank God

oh, you will. Unless of course you are fine with the idea to live off the 10 millions without investment. Burn 200.000 $ per year and it will last 50 years. Hmmm, why not ?

[zenkai]

pay off my loans, upgrade my living a little and invest the rest to sustain my lifestyle.

[Revi]

Big house with a garden, nice car, rest in bank account and spend it so it would last me the rest of my life. Maybe hire someone to help me invest it.

I would buy everyone in the world a moon pie

Go out to watch the game tonight. Some beers, some wings, a pretty girl or 3. Sleep in tomorrow.

I'd send mine back since I don't like those. How about those peanut butter wafer things?

[Maleagant]

Finish paying off my parents mortgage so they can retire earlier.
Pay off both of my sisters college loans.
Invest some of the money.
Donate at least $100,000 to St. Jude - Children's Research Hospital‎
A good portion would be added to my nest egg so I can retire earlier.

I would purchase a nice house, learn a couple of foreign languages and probably do an accountancy degree while investing the remainder in different savings vehicles (some gilts, fund my pension to the max since I'm too young for an annuity, few high interest bonds etc)

Mostly I'd be secure knowing I could live modestly by investing about 8 million of it with the aim of trying to secure an 6% return (tough I know in the modern climate) to allow me to spend 2% of that per annum on living expenses and roll the remaining 4% back in to cover inflation. I think I could make do with £150k a year quite nicely, especially if I kept busy by studying something to ensure I don't have too much free time which would lead to bad spending habits.

[Themius]

I would probably buy a condo in the middle of a large city with nice views that's less than a million. It probably wouldn't be New York City since it's quite expensive and everything is just so overpriced... and it probably wouldn't be a condo but a coop. Perhaps Chicago.

After that i'd probably just invest the rest in rentals. It's possible to get around 1000 units with what's left.

[Itisamuh]

Bank it, live off the interest, and do nothing for the rest of my life.

[Themius]

For those that said they would just bank it why not do something with it instead?

[Ornerybear]

first I would use whatever i needed to set my wife and I up for the rest of our lives, and then I'd start a business with my father with whatever money was left.

Business would probably be somewhere in the realm of what I do now, which is prototyping and design, but I'd own the business, and I would like it to be tied to the auto racing world somehow. I'd like to race weekends and write it off on the business...

Hmm...i think that's still obtainable without all that money...Imagine that, life goals.

Because that is the number one reason for failed lottery millionaires, who have less afterwards than they had before.

[Apexis]

Payoff all the various debit, probably buy a bigger house, but probably not a very expensive one, couple vehicles, give the children a million to go to school and set up their lives, maybe take a trip to some place I have been to, give some money to charity, then invest the rest to be able to live off modestly for the rest of my life.
