I've spent almost 20 years in the rat race. Plus, I'd be a terrible employee at that point.

42' Freeman, with 4-350 Yamahas, 263 Tideline with 2-175 Zuks, a Shed to fit both of them and the baddest arse metal fab and carpenter shop in Louisiana.

but instead of two, lets make it three. Alexis Texas, Abella Danger, and Mia Malkova at the same time


Post a "What should I buy" Thread on the OT and take the top 5 suggestions.
Finally give out my new phone number & email address to the handful of people I want to have it and give them $5,000 to never disclose my contact information. Buy property in Colorado and wait until the hype dies down

Tell noone. My brother's,aunts,uncles,cousins,etc bills would be paid off. Whatever amount would draw $100 G's would go into an account and I'd live off that. I'd go to GM plant and pick out exactly what I want in a blacked out Yukon. Invest in medical marijuana.

Give 20 million to the parents, buy a house and mountain cabin, and then invest the rest in the stock market.

Assume $500M after taxes is your bank balance.



Not possible even in the states with the lowest taxes.


It's 465m before any tax.

So... 260m or so after tithe and tax.

Plenty.

I'd get 1/3rd.

As for activities, I'd go to a spa and do a fast and swim for 6 weeks.

I've invented a world changing item that would cost $500k to make prototypes. I'd get a couple of engineers to bring it into life. I've already got the design.

Two blondes.

How do you know it will work if it hasn't been invented yet? Why can't the idea be taken somewhere now?

Build a new fricking bridge over the Mississippi. Charge a toll - truck nuts get in free.

I don't.
In fact it may have undesirable effects.
It's so time consuming without computer controls and the staff would be expensive and the high end staff would want a cut.

If I had millions to blow I could do most of it with computer chips.

I priced it 15 years ago with an engineer at 300k.

Id like it for myself.

Not for profit. No pubLIC customer liability.

I read somewhere that one of the first things most people buy is a pickup truck. I guess it's to haul all their crap in.
