Pretty sure it would cause me and everyone I know and love a lot of grief up to and including our deaths.

Too much money.   For me anyway.   I was not raised around that kind of wealth nor were my family or friends.   It would be like a poison.

A wise man.:salute That's why my answers were totally facetious. I can't begin to fathom having that much money, or the idiotic self-destructive things I'd do with it.

Give 5 million to my parents, sister, grandfather, grandma, and probably best friend's family.  

With what's left I would buy a plane, boat, and car.  Probably a couple of each.  Keep my current home, but buy some land, 500 acres ish, with a decent size body of water on it.

Probably a waterfront home in Florida, and a nice sized cabin in Alaska.  Hunt and fish whenever I like, as long as I like.

Travel the world, probably hunting and fishing while doing so.

Have my own workshop, in one of my homes, where I could build and tinker with things.

Buy every gun I ever wanted, most from WWII.  

Complete numerous other things I would like to do in my life, scuba diving, sky diving, and get my pilot's license, to name a few.  With said pilot's license I would tour the world in whatever aircraft I chose.

The rest would go in the bank.



That would be the life.

problem is.. no matter how bad I know the money would be for me and everyone around me..   I would still keep it.. like the guy who knows the devil will screw him on his wish but can't help trying to make a wish that will make him happy forever.  I am sure it would turn out badly tho but.. it is as bad as any drug.

I would just as soon the money never came my way.    Couple mil?   maybe.. Not enough to bring out all the vultures.  enough to maybe give yourself and family a little boost up without turning them into the kind of spoiled aholes we see in the tabloids.

For starters pay off all my debt.. its not much but I hate to owe money.

Then i'd set aside a few accounts for interest. One for myself, one for my parents and my sister.. one for my cousins who have financial troubles so they can go to college, another one for a kid I care a lot about in the same situation as my cousins so she can go to college too...

mmm then I guess I'd move to a small pacific island where I'd set up bussinesses and stuff to improve the local community and live there...marry a local girl, be happy.. and every other year take a small trip to some unknown country.

that'd be it for me.

First, pay off debts.  Second, buy the wifey a nice house.  Third, buy a B-25 Mitchell and one of the Flugwerk Fw-190D-9 that they are planning.  From there, whoe cares.  I would have my planes and spend all my time flying.  Oh, might as well pay for life subscriptions for all of you that I have flown with and against.  Just not the guys who have HO'd me.

I forgot to add in that I would spend huge amounts of time hunting various animals that were on the verge of extinction like Polar Bears, etc...

I too would provide a safe haven for friends and family but they have to provide their own ammo and guns but they are free to use mine from time to time.

Buy myself a couple federal judges, a couple of congressmen, a few folks in the justice Dept
Then do whatever the hell I want.

That or buy myself a private island.
Line the shores with land mines and remote controled machine gun nests.
Then plant a big sign that says

"STAY AWAY- THIS MEANS YOU"

That is a nice Mohair sweater that fellow on the right is wearing.  A tad hot for a summer boat trip though.

As to the $100 million:

Quit work and travel. 

It isn't the kind of money it used to be...make it a billion and I'd throw in a yacht and a private jet....but with only $100 million I'd just fly everywhere first class.

Rent a server from HTC, pay them a huge amount of money to put the original beta game on it with the new artwork. Send out invites for free accounts to guys that just like to fight in airplanes.  :D

After that, I'd just waste some money.

 Hmmm 100 mil.

 well I have no mortgage,no car loan and no debt....

 Maybe I'd get a new creditcard.

 seriously the first thing I'd do is hide,I've got a friend who won 6 mil. he was hounded for months by people asking for money.He even had a yacht saleman show up at his door with a 40 ft. blow boat saying it was already to go...

 The 1 thing money cant buy{ya love} is happiness and good drugs are a poor substitute.
