Default if you won 10 million bux what would you do?

i was watching television and saw the publishers clearing house commercial, it got me htinking man what would i do with 10 million bux. Then I thought what wouldn't I do. here's my list

1. i'd pay off all of my familys car and the house and any bills we have (gotta make sure we still have excellent credit)

2. buy myself an s2k

3. buy another s2k and use 100 grand to trick it out

4. donate some money to charity

5. by a valentine 1 and a good police scanner (the s2k should be fully tricked out by now)

6. buy my parents new luxury cars

7. buy a mclauren f1

8. throw maybe 4 mill into some type of long term investment

9. buy a truck (you never know when it'll comei n handy)

10. buy GTA for ps2 and buy a steering wheel and pedals wheel for GT3

uhhhh then i don't know what i'd do.

how about you guys?

Karim

first of all you will not get 10 million. my friend won that iwon.com 10 million dollar thingy they gave away back in 2000. he only got 2.8 million after tax and lump sum.

but anyhow, if i won 10 million dollars, the first thing i would do is invest about 1/3 of that into the stock market, then i would definitely look into some commercial realestate. maybe think about a duplex or a fourplex apartment.

then maybe spend some $ on a good car

I wasted my first two years of college trying to figure out this question.

Four things:
1. Ferrari 250 SWB
2. Ferrari F2000
3. Jaguar XJR-14
4. As much track time as I could rent with the remaining cash

1. Pay off my parents house *first time buyers, went from rags to... name-brand rags*

2. Buy my parents their dream car *They've never owned a brand new car, never. They're plannin on getting their first brand new car next summer*

3. Get me a nice wardrobe, and a White s2k and trick it up... not too much though, no fancy stuff.

4. Buy my parents a nicer house, let them rent out this one

5. Donate some here and there.

6. Put the rest away and live comfortably for a while.

I hate to dream and this is no doubt one of the most impossible dreams to come true. So, I'll tell everyone when I do get that much money ... Most possibly I will make sure all my good friends get their dream cars at an affordable benchmark of course.

Actually I would change it all into Euros as the dollar has some serious competition.

Then the question is: what would you do with 11,100,000 euros?.......I'll bet that the US dollar still goes further than the 1.11 worth euro.....(and you're right, once the euro takes a good hold over Europe, and eventually parts of Asia, the USD is in competition). <---By then though, we will be working on global credits system and be in a total cashless society where our we are given credit and currency only transferrable by getting a chip embeeded under our skin in our wrist scanned..........
