What would you spend lotto money on?

Post Reply New Topic

Ok, imagine you've won the equivalent to 50 million pounds. what would you spend it on?

The things I would do:

1. First of all I would give one million to each of my close family members and friends. That would be around 10 millionish gone.
2. I would buy myself a wonderful house in the lake district, near kendal or ullswater.
3. I would buy myself many many synthesizers, and build my own home recording studio.
4. I'd buy a luxury motorhome or something like that so I could drive everywhere
5. Driving Lessons
6. I would buy a highly advanced computer (apple preffered!)
7. I would travel the whole world and climb mountains.
8. Three Words: Private Swimming Pool
9. I would set up my own free festival/rave and invite famous trance and techno artists along
10. I would go to various theme parks and ride various rollercoasters

What would you do with all that cutter?

I would have no idea!
I'd use up about 40 million though, and bank the remaining 10.

Things I would do:

1. Buy a Dallas Mavericks season ticket
2. Buy a house in Dallas, Texas, that had a cinema, basketball court and a huge playroom
3. Buy a house for my family
4. Set up my dream business, a kind of sheltered accomdation for people on the spectrum
5. Go travelling across America and Canada

I wish I could hire former Russian germ warfare scientists and some geneticist scientists team them up to design a disease that ignores autistics but strikes only NTs. Just a dream but I would not do it I would rather spend the money on me.

What I would have done with a sh!t load of money=

I would set up a blind trust that made payouts to me, my parents, and brothers so we could live off the intrest.

3.5 Million dollar home 15,000 SQ Feet designed to look like a castle
An 8' stone wall surrounding the property.
Indoor pool
An underground shooting range
A game room designed to look like the catina from Star Wars except with a couple stripper poles
Home Theater
Connected Greenhouse
A Workout room
A large gourmet kitchen
6 Bedrooms
8 Bathrooms
A personal driver
A live in cook
A personal trainer that commes in once a day for 2 hours who is not afraid to force me to work out

I would set up a seperate trust fund account designed to pay the building's property taxes, utilities, and up keep. That way if I loose my money at least I will still have my mansion

Cars
Cadillac Escalade
Bently
Bently convertable
British Riot Transport Vehicle complete with battering ram and riot hose

1. Buy my way into America (isn't that how all the famous Brits got to live there? )
2. Buy a penthouse apartment in New York City
3. Buy a helicopter for the helipad on the roof
4. Helicopter flying lessons
5. Buy tons of music instruments and the best sound systems (synthesizers, a vocoder, Les Paul electric guitar, drum kit, autotuner...)
6. Buy a big TV
7. Buy a hot-tub
8. Buy the best computer
9. Buy friends and girlfriends (since I'm socially incapable of getting them the proper way)
10. All the best graphics and 3D computer programs

I'd die of a heart attack from the shock before I can spend it on anything...

Seriously though I have no idea...

1. A trip to Italy

2. Buy the T.A.R.D.I.S

3. Give some to the "Make a Wish Foundation"

4. Get a Bat-Cave in my house with my own personal Alfred to go with it.

5. Pay my college tuition, (and my sister's too).

I would probably not live any single place. For about 3 years at least I would roam as a world traveler between North America, Asia, Australia, and Europe. Experiencing different countries, scenery, cuisines, and beer. I would move around mostly in luxury train cars and ships but sometimes private planes.

Eventually I'd pick a nation I feel like I fit into well and probably buy a Condo/Loft in a city. Preferably up high in a building with a nice view of some mountains but also the city below. I'm partial to Europe yet also curious about Asia.

I would probably pursue some modest book collecting and maybe even try rare book collecting and dealing. I would also pursue my interest in music and maybe even try to learn some instruments and produce some.

I would also look into any good local art and film scene. I might buy some art or support a developing artist. I might try painting myself or attempt some experimental film projects. Maybe even some metal work and sculpture.

Did I mention I like food and beer? I might try writing review articles or even a book on cuisines and beer festivals.

Grow bigger stacks of money in the morning, work for social justice in the afternoon, and party like an aging rockstar all evening!

Pay off all of my bills, including the mortgage. Quit my job. Go back to my hometown, buy the biggest house available, and put Hannakah decorations on display during the Christmas season just to cheese off the Christian fundies there.

Or maybe just buy a church and turn it into a brothel.

1. Give half to boyfriend (with prenuptial), and offer some money to my best friends.

2. Set-up bank account/savings account so I can live off interest and whatever I don't spend gets split between Women's Environmental Network, an appropriate disabled or AS/ASD charity, an appropriate homeless charity, and an appropriate sexual health cause.

3. Pay off debts and then spend lots of money on clothes and stuff.

4. Buy a nice big house - not huge, but big enough to have a built-in bar area, office/library, nice kitchen, and lots of spare rooms so we can have guests over all the time or lots of kids in a few years time. Boyfriend would probably also want a place for his band to practice and a place for all his cars and motorbikes too. A nice house filled with people and love.

5. Get married.

6. Buy a funeral plan, build a nice place for my body to rest when I die...and look into some sort of mummification.

7. Go to university - study for my nursing degree, also get a privet tutor for sign language.

8. Hire an investigator to find my long-lost brother.

9. Go on holiday - Mexico, India, Tokyo, US (Texas, Minneapolis, New York, Vegas, Florida), catacombs in Italy and around the world.

10. Start my own little menstrual product company - making luxury cloth pads, period panties, period belts, and menstrual cups, I'd be based in a building within my property with a small staff, have cool brand image, and spend money on mainstream advertising.

11. Start an organisation set-up to help people back into work, where advice is offered to get people into work or into training/education to increase their prospects, run it as a training centre meets employment agency to keep money flowing. Ideally specialise in helping disabled people back into work, give advice so we'd be like CAB only with accurate information about employment and benefits.

12. Start-up an organisation dealing with less common aspects of sexual, menstrual and reproductive health, start as a web site with lots of information, then get more involved in activism, research and education programs. Have a sub-organisation set-up to help with issues of sex and disability, running work groups for better sex when disabled, advice for disabled people and their carers on exploring sexuality safely, offer toys/tools made for disabled people, etc.

13. Buy a nightclub - we're in desperate need for a good rock club here, have a nice big venue with lots of sub-rooms, a good DJ, and possibly also buy the local rock bar so we'd not have to deal with too much in the way of rock scene politics in starting-up a new club.

14. Buy a brothel - it's not legal here yet, but hopefully it will and I want to be ready! Until it's legal I'd have a nice building done out to be a nice safe place for sex workers, and work with local sex workers to make sure I get the brothel right, as well as putting some money into helping them stay safe in the mean time.

I think I may need more money

become a serious good-deed-doer.
improve working-class access to healthcare in my neck of the woods.

with whatever little bit is leftover from all that, i would:
hire somebody trustworthy to help me clean out my rat's nest of a tin can out in the woods-
buy a realdoll-
get a 1988 cadillac sedan deville, and a 2010 lincoln towncar while they are still available-
build a climate-controlled garage for the caddy and lincoln-
buy the property next-door to mine and replace my tin can with something larger and more comfy-
pay for my older sister to retire for good.

I would use the money to start an agricultural export business on the west coast of the United States. I would also purchase Renmimbi and silver and invest in China's domestic consumer market - including BYD and several battery manufactuerers. I would take a position in BP and Japanese automakers - and possibly even invest in their nuclear energy giant Tepco. I would invest in monsanto, BASF and Dow Industrial.

I will short U.S. bonds. I would short urban chinese real estate developers - and some over-valued U.S. dot coms.
