Not to burst anyones bubble but that's just under 10 million a year for 30 years I think a all at once payout (if possible) is 1/2 or 150 mill then after taxes would be like 80mill
Actually, the 1/2 all at once is WITH the taxes taken out. So that would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $150M.

I think I'd use some of it to fix Salar's S, and then the rest to save French dogs from sharks.

Technically, they are the same thing.

Non-vaginal male-female or male-male intercourse of any type.
That's why the anti-sodomy law in Texas was so lame! It has implications for everyone!

Donate $1 million to my old high school and another $1 million to Cancer research.

Save/invest 50%.

Buy a Lotus Elise, Mercedes G Series SUV for my fiancee.

Buy a Porsche Carrera GT, BMW M5, Land Rover LR3 and an Amuse S2000 GT straight from Japan for me.

Buy a house in Coco Plum in Miami, a loft in NYC and another property in the West Coast, probably San Francisco.

Start a restaurant with my fiancee.

Take a year off and travel the world.

The one thing different than what I've already read is start a foundation for fundraising and gifting worthy High School seniors new instruments as they enter into college. . . no one wants to roll $6K-$20K for a top-end instrument into YET ANOTHER student loan.

Also, create another foundation/scholarship to give good music schools good loaners for teacher training. I played on some REALLY BAD instruments when taking my non-major instrument courses.

Lastly, on top of the usual cars, I think I'd want to buy a VW and use bio-diesel. . . just to piss on the Hybrid-driving yuppies.
