I'm sticking with the Island plan...

Invest half to generate lifetime income. Use the other half to buy an island. Upon this island, I would build:
  • A mansion, or at least a large home.
  • A brothel, to be stocked with a plethora of infertile women.
  • A multi configuration race track
  • A sheltered harbor

Arrange for a monthly resupply boat and I'm all set.


(And yes, I'm a pig. You know you'd all do it though).

Buy myself a Gallardo, a McLaren F1 and whatever other marques took my fancy.
Build/buy some beautiful homes in different countries.
Invest.
Feed some poor people.
Help those nearest me (family & friends).
Try and stay away from the sort of excesses that destroy some people when they have too much money.

You would have to be stupid to take an all at once lump sum. If you take the payments, you get twice the money, and you have a steady tremendous income for 20 years, and have absolutely zero chance of losing your fortune...not that there would be a big chance of losing it if you took a lump sum, but in my opinion, it would be better to just take the yearly payments. Buttt...with that much money, I would like to buy a car for my close friends and family, a porsche for my dad, 65 mustang for my step mom, that huge joke of a truck for my step dad, and then some piece of shit car for my brother just to be an asshole...with the keys for a mclaren F1 in the front seat hehehe...and then I would just travel, see the world, donate alot of money to some personal causes, try to do some good with my fortune

Buy all my favorite Japanese supercars, (s2k!) throw a Ferrari or two in there, and become a real estate developer that offers modern homes for the average young folk.

"Yo I'm an originator, no I'm not a duplicator"...damn, if I had a nickel for every time I heard that ina rap song...


Rap...karaoke...same thing...

Warren
actually,Ive never really heard that rhyme on a track before..lol .(and Ive been dj'ing for many years and AM hiphop)..For every couple sample-jacking Unoriginal rapper/producer there is,,there's 10 creative,original,talented n skilled artists you dont hear about.
thats that.(i dont blame u though,what U hear on mainstream radio is just for the catchy,nursery rhyme,recycled tunes)
alright,,continue yall
