re: What would you do if you won a 500 Million Dollar Lottery?

Buy a nice apartment in NYC but not one that is mega millions or anything. Build the home of my dreams somewhere along the northwest coast. Invest a ton and give a good amount to family and a few of my closest friends. Prepare to lose a lot of friends when I wont give them money. Then I will travel the world.

I would find something good to do with a lot of the money but I don't know what right now. Charities, fund teacher grants, etc.

I would also donate a shite ton to LSU Gymnastics to help them keep recruiting the very best.

THIS!!! Consider bumping it to $25 million if the Board of Supervisors don't act fast enough.

Then buy a new boat instead of a used boat. May splurge and get a 24' instead of 22'.




and who am I kidding, my bourbon preference will improve. I should also be able to afford 50/75/100 year old scotch for my dad.

Take $100 Million and put it in a bank account that would just collect interest, I would never touch it.

Hmm, a $100,000,000 bet on a bank that only guarantees tiny portion of that?

I'd then buy a house so big on the coast of Greece, even I would be envious of my own house. I'd also install a flag pole that only flew the American Flag

Oh. This explains much of the rest of your post.

If I had any money left after all that, I'd probably invest it.

You mean, not counting the $100,000,000 just sitting in that bank account?

Yeah i noticed that too. Bank fdic is only $100k per account.
Give him some slack. He never had the $110k to worry about it until now.

Donate 50 million to St. Jude first.

I would buy Huey P. Long's old house on the Lakes and install a heli pad in the back yard. I would then pay to install a heli pad at Tiger Stadium so I wouldn't have to do deal with game day traffic. I would have very nice houses all over the world. Private jet, big yacht, some nice cars and lots of guns.

Camp in Grand Isle where I'll keep a 263 Calcutta, Maveric 18HPX and 4 Native Kayak 13s a 42 Freeman and 4 SeaDoo GTX 155s
Crusie the Caribbean in a 75 Nordhavn that I'll Charter when I'm not on it
Camp on Toledo Bend where I'd keep a Ranger z520ce and Mastercraft x26
Huntin Camp in Idaho

Let's say after taxes, I have $200 million

$1 million to each member of my immediate and limited extended family - $20 million

College funds for all my nieces, nephews, and cousins' kids. - $5 million (estimated based on $200k and 25 kids)

Trusts for each of my kids. - $10 million x 3 ($30 million)

New home, cars, toys - $10 million

Property - $30 million

Random business and other investments - $15 million (more or less and spread out over years based on what I'm interested in)

Low Risk, interest bearing accounts - $50 million (for annual income of $2.5 million assuming conservative 5% annual ROI, less $500k/year for attorney(s), accountant(s) and manager(s), and $500k/year for general staff.)

That would leave about $40 million to apply to any of the above areas and/or philanthropy. I would also spend many days playing golf at the best courses in the world, and general travel.
