What would you do if you won $100 million?

That's .7% more than I see a lot of other folk "virtually" donating. As for me,

#1 is buy a Ferrari
2- hire accountant
3- fire accountant for telling me I should not have purchased Ferrari first
4- (see #2)

Clear "to do list"............

go back to sleep and dream some more.

Become a mogul of the porn industry


Fund (mill or 2 a year) a private investigation firm comprised of ex-FBI agents to dig up dirt on politicians….both parties. Then out them.
Why? Why not?


Hire 4 fluffers to work a compressed shift so 1 is always on duty.


Get each of my fluffers a hot girl friend


Join the "Hot Chick of the Month Club"


Buy one of the new airport security scanners and scan stuff


Get $5 million in cash to get laid on top of


Get $1 million in cash because 5 might not be enough


Buy some machine guns because they're fun to shoot


Buy a lifetime supply of banana laffy taffy


Buy 2 lifetime supplies of Coke, bottled in Mexico and made with real sugar


and on, and on

Buy more blue chip stocks for the dividends.

nothing, i consider my self one of the luckiest people in the world now.

1) Establish income generating investments (dividends, bonds, O&G trusts)
2) Move to a custom built sailboat so I can hide from my leech cousins
3) Get my SO the diamond bra from Victoria's Secret

Get the lawyer and set up trust for myself and family members.
RETIRE!!!
Invest (bonds, commodities, stocks, and a start up or two)
Have several homes in various places around the country and outside the country.
Spend alot of time in Brazil.........


Wishful thinking at best..........LOL

I would give it all to Obama.

All the basics you mentioned...then

1) pay off my student loans(and the loans of my close friends and family)
2) get a boob job (I'd like to go from a B cup to a small D)
3) set a portion aside strictly to give out micro-loans to women in third world countries
4)buy or build a few modest but cozy homes all over the world and let my friends live in them rent free in exchange for maintenance of the properties with the understanding that I will show up anytime I damn well please
5) Give more $$$ and time to the causes I already support

Don't get me started daydreaming! LOL. Originally Posted by Hannah Heresy

Visit every (civilized) country in the world.

Then after paying myself about a 1/4 mill per year (thats all I need), I'd give the rest of the money to family, various charities and humanitarian aid.

Boring I know.

I would be a Rolling Stone. . . A Traveling Fool !!

So many places....

Women and men around the world apply for loans through local micro-lenders, which then post the applications on Kiva. You bill your credit card to Kiva, then you pick which of the individuals to lend your money to. Your money is bundled with other lenders and loaned through the micro-lenders to the applicants. As the loan is paid back your portion is credited to your account, which you can then re-loan to another person.
A great gift idea for people who have too much stuff. Every birthday and Christmas each of my sons get another $25 added to their account and get to choose which person to help. They now have a on-going portfolio of several loans being re-paid and they re-loan to another applicant whenever their balance reaches $25 again.
There are other ways to contribute to micro-loans too. Kiva is great because it is so easy and you can start with only $25.

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

I like the way you think...just so you know I have a thing for bunnies.

One of my causes is The House Rabbit Society...and you can take that any way you want to.

Thanks for linking to kiva...I should have earlier but my daydreaming got the best of me. lol.

Great threAD and I want to reiterate that the loans DO get paid back and usually a lot faster than anticipated and in full with a tiny bit of interest even. Most people just put the money back into the program to be given out again. It's such a cool idea...for the cost of an overnight with a mid-priced American hooker you could totally change the direction of someone's life in another part of the world. It trips me out.

• Take my devoutly Catholic mother to Rome.
• Take my devoutly fun-loving father to Vegas for the National Finals Rodeo.
• Pave the gravel roads in my hometown cemetery that my father has always wished would be paved.
• Pave the gravel road out to the fairgrounds in my hometown that my father has always wished would be paved.
• A grant to keep a surgeon on staff at the hospital where my mother has poured in her soul in my isolated hometown so they're able to stay in business as a fully operating hospital.
• Construct a Performing Arts Center at a high school where I used to teach and at my hometown high school.
• Several million dollars diversified across a S&P 500 index, a Total Market index, an International index and a treasury bond ladder for me to live off of the interest, dividend, and gains. I don't need more than $100 grand or so a year.
• A scholarship at my alma mater for athletes who have completed their athletic eligibility but need another year to get their degree.
• Support/establish organizations to put as many books of their very own into the hands of as many pre-school aged children as possible.
• Between $10,000 and $50,000 for pretty much every person in my life who has been a good friend or helped me out, with an equal matching donation to the charity/good work of their choice.
• A tiny isolated bit of land on the stream-sized river on the ranch my grandfather used to own where I could put up a little shack with a bed and a bookshelf. Maybe a generator so I could have hot coffee and cold beer.
• A giant party for everyone I've ever met in my life. I'm renting an entire state park for a month. Every type of housing available from huge multi-room officers' quarters, family bungalows, dormitory, hotel-like rooms, rustic cabins, to RV campsites and primitive camping. You all will be invited.
  
  OK, maybe I need to win more than $100 million. I've thought about this a lot. When I buy my one $1 lottery ticket about twice a year when the pot gets really big I get my money's worth enjoying all the planning of what I'll do when I win.
