Buy an island (am I stretching it here? :confused;)
Live in it with girl until I get bored
Spend the rest in whatever I need to have an exciting life until I die

If buying an island isnt available, Id just make a house in the middle of nowhere and do the same

Sock away enough for law school(tuition and living expenses)

Put, say, 20M in reasonably secure investments, to make me comfortable and financially independent during any hard periods in my life.

Allocate the rest of it to the cause of Free Software, as wisely as possible.

He said the first 3, not 2.


Good point. I'd:
1) Giggle uncontrollably for a while.
2&3) Two chicks at the same time.

(4 would be to look into how I could best use the money to help people, but that's not nearly as fun as 2&3. More rewarding ultimately, but not as fun.)

You can buy an island for less than a mil, cheaper than some houses in the states. Heck, you can buy an island for under 500k. Link

1) Pay off the debt of every single person I know
2) Have a month-long cruise with all of my friends on my tab
3) Go to Vegas, and bet 1 mil on one hand in blackjack :) If I lose, oh well. If I win, I spend that 1 mil at the casino.
