I bought a ticket for tonight's Eurolotto. It was worth 80 million Euro which is about $95 million . Ok, the odds of winning are apparently 76 million to 1. But hey, we can all dream.
It wasn't won tonight so next friday it'll be worth 90 million Euro. Somebody, somewhere will win that money eventually. It's an insane amount of money.
It got me to thinking what I could do with that money. A selection of warbirds would be on the list. Spitfire, P51, F4U Corsair. A few jets. Not to mention houses. One somewhere tropical, A New York apartment. A beach house in Santa Barbara. A nice place in Spain, France or Italy or all three.
My own private airstrip, probably grass. With a scattering of classic biplanes, Cubs and the like mixing it with my warbirds. I'd probably have to buy a few politicians too so the planning would get through. ;)
Would I be happy with all that money? Damm right I would.
So what would you do with more than a hundred million tax free dollars?

buy Rookland then add our beloved clutter sheep back to the game .

With $90 million, you could have a 180-some... ****in-a
-
if it is $90,000,000 AFTER taxes...
give 12% to step father
give 12% to father
give 12% to church
give 1% to each each of 4 very close friends
give 25,000 to each family member only (10,000 if this number is before taxes)
build the house i have plans for which has an included music studio.
build a subdivision of my own, and give lots approx 2 acres to friends.
buy a lamborghini countach
buy an original 427 shelby cobra
have a custom 1980 monte carlo made (my first car)
buy a harley
buy a buell sport bike
buy a chris craft boat
buy a ultralight
invest the rest
live off interest
-
I would zero out friends and families debt and then live off 1/2 to 3/4 of the intrest.
-
Buy the bestest and fastest computer evar, and lots of Lotto tickets.
Yeah...
-
buy controlling interest in a certain company, and fire some in managment, give the rest a paycut, plus make them work the OT hours the workers have to (salaried don't get OT pay).
within a year, force a dividend payout and walk away with $150 million.
pay back is hell. :)
or build a playboy mansion on the east coast. :p
-
Get me an old pickup truck, a 5000sqft shack on 10,000 acres with some lakes and a stream or 3, and spend time there when I am not hunting 2000# Marlin around the world from my Mothership:
http://www.lizking.com/theboat.jpg
Oh Yeah, two chicks at once (But that would be out of the way the first day).
-
Pay off mine and my parents debt and give them a million, and give 20k to each relative. Buy a decent 500k ish home.
Buy a Beechjet or similar corporate jet, put it into a lease back program so I fly for free.
Build the hockey arena in my birth town and name it after my brother.
Invest the rest and use the interest to live off and start a stable of warbirds.
-
I wouldn't change a thang. Maybe I'd put a new roof on the double wide and replace the old broken TV antenna up on top. But otherwise I'd stick it all in a "chew" can and bury it near my favorite fence post so it'll be handy for when the apocolypse gets here!
-
i would buy EA...after that invest what was left...

:lol Well no one could accuse you of not being ready for it, Mustaine.
I like the idea of a Shelby Cobra. That goes on my list too. A boat too. Also an amphibian or a seaplane. Sponsor a motor racing team on the proviso they accept a driver of my choice; me! :cool:
Of course my family would be looked after. I daresay the church will be looked after too. But that will be my Mother's job.
Joking aside, somebody somewhere in one of nine European countries will have that choice soon and it is tax free.
I hope they choose wisely.
-
Gunslinger's Hitech Creations anyone? ;)

90 million worth of tax free muni bonds. (probably 45 million worth after tax)
45 million at a 5% annual return is 2 1/4 million tax free annual income, forever.

Tax free? Really? Over here, they'll zoink at least 40% right off the top.
As for what I'd do with the money, I'd spend half on hookers and booze, and the other half I'd give to you. (just remember that if you win)

90 million bucks, and you can only cough up 20k for each of the in and outlaws? You cheap bastard! :p
-
- Pay off my debt
- Pay off father's debt
- Pay off mother's debt
- Pay of friends' debt
Then figure out some way to make the $ keep coming back every year so I could finance my little "Hull House" kinda dream... Take a bunch of people who've never really had a fair shot at life and let them live at a nice apartment complex for free with their families so long as they either:
A) Go to school (and pass all their courses); or
B) Learn a trade (and stay there awhile so they actualy make a liveable amount).
I'd probably get a P51 Mustang (gotta have some fun myself :) ) and an armored Mercedez with all sorts of nifty gadgits (well I'm sure not going to go find my tenants in Mr. Rogers' neighborhood :D )
I'd also probably take a lot of classes that wouldn't be economical to take now, just cause I'd be interested in them. And better yet, with that sort of cash, I could actually say what I'm thinking and not have to kiss the teacher's rump the whole time :aok
And hell, while I'm at it, I'd pay for a month of Aces High for everyone subscribed :)
-
Buy a hit team, equip it with the very best gear and give 'em a list of folks I'd like to have 'em vist.
Maybe I could do a little good for the world. ;)
-
Suffice to say, I'd never work again.
-
I would buy the Internets of course.
-
1) Refuse to be interviewed on TV.
2) Disconnect the phone
3) Dissapear for 2 months
4) Buy some land and build a nice house on it
5) Invest in blue chip stocks
6) Give damn little away
7) Not tell the wife where I moved :)
8) Live off interest income
9) Buy a Marquis Jet Card
10) Collect Ford Mustangs between 1965 and 1973 models including Boss, Mach Is, Cobra Jets and Shelbys
11) Collect large caliber weapons
12) Make fun of poor people
13) Hire a new lawyer every day just so I could fire him at the end of the day
14) Start a Strip Club with only one seat in it, a club for just me to attend
15) Employ a goon squad to beat up Liberals
16) Pay 50 Rednecks to spit tobacco juice on Jane Fonda
17) Put a 50G contract out on Rosie ODonnel
18) Give the NRA 5 million to protect the 2nd amendment rights
19) Send Jesse Jackson a telegram telling him to kiss my white ass
20) Buy a good spell check program for HiTech

Never did that but did do two Lesbian twin sisters at different times.
Well they were bi with strong lesbian tendancies.
Well one had stronger tendancies then the other. And the lesser one was better in bed.
But they were both hot.
Does that count?

I don't htink that suddenly getting that much money would be a good thing.
I think that I would rather get a tenth of that quietly.

To follow up on the story. The prize went to 115 million Euro, that is $143,000,000 and it was won by someone in Ireland, sadly not me and after some exciting phone calls none of my relatives either. Damm! It worth only 25 million this week, not worth doing. ;)
It was won by a woman called Dolores McNamara in Limerick who unfortunately went straight to the pub to celebrate and so her picture was in nearly every paper in Europe next morning. Not very discreet.
To make it worse her son was previously a suspect in a murder enquiry and her nephew is doing life for a gangland execution. Which means she has some potentially deadly enemies looking for their cut. She hasn't been home since and went to London and supposedly is going to live in Turkey where she already had a holiday home in the same resort where terrorists planted a bomb in a bus killing some tourists.
The omens don't look that good. But at least she can afford protection.
As the saying goes be careful what you wish for!

With any amount no one in my family (blood or married into) would have to worry about to much. Of course my parents and my wifes parents would be taken care of as would my grandparents (my wifes are gone now). From the immediate family the amount tossed out to individuals in the family would decrease exponentially compared to how they have lived their lives to that point.
Of course my wife and I would build our dream home here after buying a couple of lots in the neighborhood and tearing down the houses there first. Then my ultimate game room would have fully networked T1 access to the internet. BUT mainly I would share with the HTC community as well. At least two months of AH subs for everyone.
I would also go back to my old high school and build a 20,000 seat stadium for the football team and brand new weight room and pay for a few players to make a move down there and live on the hunting lodge area I would buy. Only a little place with about 30,000 acres in central alabama where the turkeys and deer run wild. Then any AH guys that want to drop by for some good old fashioned white-tail hunting can just let me know.
-
Oh and last but not least fund a little hunting expedition into the middle east for some people who want to do bad things to my countrymen and all those around the world who value their freedom and family.
-
Reschke, your money wouldn't last long funding that kind of effort. It's a bottomless pit. But I suggest a few places in Syria where rich Iraqi Saddam supporters live, might be a good place to start. They are the people funding the terror in Iraq.
Meanwhile to further update the real winner's fate. Latest news is that a cousin of hers was busted for possession of drugs at the weekend. A real 'nice' family it turns out. :rolleyes:
-

Income:
-money makes money it should be no problem.
But there not even a chance i buy a lot.
-
I would buy tons of VW beetles. Then have fun with them. By fun I mean destroy them in fun ways. Run them over with bigger cars, burn them, turn them into BBQ smokers. Target practice anyone?
Maybe make one an outhouse.
I wouldnt use a single one as a car though. They suck for that. :D
-
easy what to do with that much money. Buy a CH setup, one of them fancy 32" plasma monitors, a bose sound system, a fridge for my room, have a toilet installed into my computer seat, and pay for a years worth of aces high.
mabey take a trip to the moon with whats left ....

I know a few former "operators" who would go on a hunting trip for a little while fairly cheap.
Someone else mentioned a hydraulic simulator....please for $90 million I would go out and buy a couple of F4 Phantoms and have the real deal.
