Hmmm...$200 million, huh?

1. Take the cash. Even if they knocked half off the top for that option it's enough to live on forever.
2. Get a good financial advisor
3. Pay off my credit card and car payment on ex-girlfriends car (long story...).
4. Help some friends (don't need to help family, they're pretty financially secure).
5. Tell my boss I don't wanna get paid anymore (but I like the job too much to quit).
6. Take my oldest friend to Tahiti on vacation.
7. Toys, I'm sure. A car or two for the street and build another Jeep for wheeling.

Ever notice that most people who are actually that wealthy are still working?

This bring to mind a question - good work ethics or just simple greed? I wouldn't know until I'm that wealthy.

People who are rich that EARNED that wealth tend to keep working. Why? Because it's what they know and what they do. Most of them are not driven by the money, but by the power of what the money brings them...and they have the work ethic to build on that.

People who have the money GIVEN to them tend to quit their jobs and be more free and, dare I say, unrealistic with their money. The problem that they face is that they tend to go from nothing to all with little progression and don't know how to handle the money or the power that comes with it.

Welcome to what happens to so many young people that become stars in Hollywood or in music...
