Rich as in $100 million, young as in 20 years old,

what would you do for the rest of your life?

Sure it'd be nice to quit work and travel and go out and have fun every night with your SO or friends or whatever but wouldn't you run out of stuff to do after a year or so and be like "Damn, now what?"?

Yeah, and prepare for world domination. 100M can buy a lot of AK47s(they are like 50 bucks in Africa)

I'd do what everyone else is doing, try to act in my own sitcom or movie, then try to make a record album.

NOTE: if I had money, it wouldn't matter if I was good at either.

I'd stay home all the time. Watch Scarface 50 times. Eat a turkey sandwich and have sex all fvcken day.

Then I'd dress up in a clown suit. And suprise kids at schools.

Then I would take a dump at the back of a movie theater and just wait til somebody sat in it because that's funny to me.

Then I'd paint and read and play violin. And climb the mountains and sing the songs I wanna sing.

I would follow my favorite sports team around for a year. To every game home and away. And the tickets would be the best courtside, 50 yard line type stuff. Thats just for starters. 100mil and I'd be living it up.

I'd do several things (assuming that $100 million is after-tax):

1. Pay off my mother's mortgage.
2. Buy my dad and stepmom a hoverround.
3. Help my sister and brother-in-law move to Portland or Seattle when they choose to move (from SoCal)
4. Donate $20 million to the BSA, $20 million to paying off the National Debt, $20 million to the Puget Sound Blood Center.
5. Invest the remainder.

And then I'd keep doing what I'm doing: working in residential life to pay my rent, finish up my masters, join the Army NG and get my CPA&CMA licenses, work for an accounting firm, and just get on with my life. I'd go stir-crazy otherwise.

I do think I'd commit myself, once I reached the age of 30, to going back to school and studying Latin/Greek/Ancient history.

go to grad school to get PhD's in English Lit and Biology and then travel, until eventually settling down to teach at some small college somewhere warm.

BSA = Business Software Alliance or the Boy Scouts?

if we were talking like superrich, though, I think I'd buy a private island, build a commune, and invite all my friends/family so we'd be safe from the zombie attack when the dead start walking the earth.
