Guidelines
1. You have to spend all of the signing bonus in a year
2. This amount is after taxes and agent's fee
3. You have to spend it on the following 10 categories that I came up with, #1 being the most amount, #2 being 2nd most, and so on.

Cars
Crib
Bling
Strip clubs/making it rain
Clothes
Entourage
Night clubs
Gambling
Drugs/booze
Hookers

For me
1. Gambling (probably 50%)
2. Hookers
3. Crib
4. Cars
5. Drugs/Booze
6. Entourage
7. Night clubs
8. Strip clubs
9. Clothes
10. Bling

Cars, clothes, partying. Typical stuff. I'd also eat out at nice restaurants constantly.

MSB, but as long as it's on M/TV, I'd give it all to keep Michael Bay from being involved in another Transformers movie and consider it money well invested.

You ain't the boss of me.

I would set myself up with a very nice income for life with that $5 million.

I would go with the Tug McGraw approach-

"Ninety percent I'll spend on good times, women and Irish Whiskey. The other ten percent I'll probably waste."

The only thing I would spend money on would be hookers/women, gambling and a nice house. Having a fancy car and expensive clothes does nothing for me.

Crib - I have to get me a nice modest place. Nothing too big because you wont be there a lot really
Car - Lambo just because I can
Clothes - got to look fresh to def


All the rest are not really my thing, even with money, I am not into hookers, drugs, strip clubs, bling, hanger ons, or Gambling. I like my money too much to just throw it away on this crap.

I would add Dining to the list. Because I would like to have a personal chef, or eat at nice eateries all the time.

1. Buy a house in the hills,
2. Buy one of each: Truck, Luxury Car, Sports Car, Bike, Boat, ATV.
3. All expense's paid Las Vegas trip with my entourage where everyone gets $50,000 allowance.
4. Spend the rest on clothes.

Crib - something around $500k where I live would be enough house to grow old and retire in. Either on a small body of water or near a golf course. I'd stretch that to $750k if it was something smaller, like a 4/3, 2,800 Sq Ft, if it was on water and had a dock.
Cars - I'd finally blow about $100k and buy that old CJ8 I've always wanted and restore/mod it with half of it. Nothing held back. And spend the other $50k on some nice SUV for the wife.
Bling - I guess she'd need a little of that too.
Clothes - A handful of custom tailored suits, new shoes all around, and the wife can stock up on her and the kids clothing.
Gambling - but it would be in the form of a trip to somewhere European and all classy. None of this riverboat shite. I'd basically live over there for half the year. So I'd need another crib.
Drugs/booze - only the finest booze. Not a drug user.

The title of the thread said "blow", not "invest"
