Same here. Mind you, it would be rough, but I think I could force myself to live on a paltry 500k a year.

Good call.

and about putting the money in a bank. . . i thought banks had a 100k limit on them or was is just that we are only insured upto 100k if the bank was robbed. and swiss banks, don't we have to pay them to hold our money? help me settle these rumors.

Youre horribly misinformed...
 
Put $7.5million in the bank and spend the $2.5million on the following:

Porsche GT3 in yellow [saw one yesterday in my work's parking lot, so damn stunning].
Audi RS6 [I need something I can daily drive 😉]
House in Irvine somewhere then furnished to my liking.
Pay off family debts, current school loans, etc.
Provide some money to family to pay off future college expenses for brother and sister.
 
-Buy a house in Cali or Denver
-Furnish said house
-Go get a PhD at MIT in EE
-Invest a million starting a company to make sweet audio equipment
-Invest the rest and live off the interest
 
The first thing I would do is gather my friends, go out, and party until I can't see.
 
buy a house and make a room with no light switches, so the lights cant be turned off. then buy a camrcorder and have a party and invite paris hilton to it.
 
Buy my mom and step-dad a big old-school farmhouse for them to fix up (my mom wouldn't like a mansion, too many rooms to clean 😀, she's always talking about moving into an old farmhouse and remodeling it)

shortly followed by:

Put 1 mil in a trust fund for my daughter
Invest 2 million
Buy myself a house, furniture, cars, etc

Whatever was left I would use to cover my Ex's basic necessities so that she could stay at home with our daughter while I work.

I wouldn't lounge around all day on the money, I'm one of those people that would be totally bored if I didn't work.
 
1. pay off moms mortgage
2. hire a PI to harass my father for the fark of it
3. buy myself a better bike, in fact 3 of them (a DH/FR rig, a nice road bike, and an SS)
3b. Buy myself an R32 from germany, black on black on black, smoked tails, smoked HIDs, ATP stage III, and 18" OZ F1 Cup 3-pieces in black
4. Buy my girl a VW passat wagon, 4motion, v6... blow her chrysler up with a flamethrower
5. pay fine for doing above damage
6. buy myself a nice house
7. re-do college... get a better GPA than a 2.76 at Cornell (500K should get me a 3.5 at harvard)
8. turn it all into coins, then fill a room with them, and SWIM in it!!!!!
9. invest it... AMD, M$, and ibm
 
1. Quit my job
2. Pay off my house
3. Trust fund for my 12-week old boy
4. Big chunk in the bank
5. Party.. hard.
 
Pay off all debts, and all debts of friends/family.

Buy a house, throw a hugeass party.

Buy some toys I've always wanted.

Donate to diabetes foundation & cancer societies

Invest the rest!
 
Buy a nice car since I finally have enough for my insurance, a few decent houses in all the locations in this state (I would decide later what I want to keep and live in or rent to people), finish high school(keeping valedictorian status😉), and maybe pull an office space at my job (it's decent job, might decide to keep it for fun..).
 

Pathetically, I would then actually have the nerve to ask out any girl I wanted at any give time.

I wouldn't even buy the house first.
 
most ppl already covered it:

put most in a savings account and reap the interest... give my bros each like $100k spending money, pay off my familys house and all debts, give my mom and dad like $500k each spending money to get something theyve always wanted. maybe buy a house in canada. uh i guess there wouldnt be that much left to put in the bank and i havent even gotten any new toys 😀
