Dude, get yourself a kick-@$$ rig, i mean like SLI-8800ultra with quad-core extreme and 2000 watt PSU and physics-X card, 4gig DDR3, X-fi, get like a huge speaker system, 30" monitor, and go play crysis!

but honestly, invest. i mean, with that kind of money, you can make alot more of it =)

10 million dollars and that's the best you could do? Weak.

Why the hell would you ask this question on ATOT?

If you had $10 mill in capital, you would not be asking what to do with it on a tech forum.

If this post is actually true, you are going to be bankrupt in a few years anyway... so just buy whatever you want now.

Oh, and Shens.

If I start telling you what to do, I will be sad I do not have the cash and just sad in general.

Props to the cash though!

Dont waste your money on a 'hardcore' gaming computer, as it will be near crap in a year or less.

I guess, BUY a house, live off just paying the taxes and utils alone.

Man, you are set for a while if you do it right.

You should already have most of what you want if you ran a 10million dollar company...

I'd probably invest a diversified stock portfolio and tax free municipal bonds.

I dunno. I think you should stay in school. 10 million skittles wrappers don't buy much in today's world.

Get a financial adviser and then do your homework before you invest your millions based on his/her advice.

Keep $2M in the bank as a safety net?

First you need to go to the off topic section of a tech forum and ask for advice...duh.

congrats man. i'd just say look into a really good financial advisor, see if what he says makes sense.

just save though. at like 35, imagine how much you could have if you plan this out right!
