1) Pay off mortgage.
2) Buy Subaru BRZ and a boat
3) Put half into trust fund
4) Throw a party and hire lana del rey
5) Donate rest of money to NPR/PBS (I hate charities)

Nice choice, but you can get the Scion FR-S before the Subaru from what most are saying. Its also a tiny bit cheaper 😛

Its funny people are posting $50k cars, and now this a $25k car. LOL.

Seriously though, I would have several cars. The FR-S / BRZ would be nice as a weekend auto X car. I'd definitely go buy a brand new Subaru WRX STi first, since the BRZ won't be out for another couple months
 
yeh but if I going transatlantic... I want to be in the back with hookers and some blow... I don't want to have to stare at flight instruments that long. I will just charter a nice jet.
Ditto. For something to fly on my own, the mustang would be nice.
I also like the Pilatus PC12.
And an MD 520N
 
1. Fund the creation of a mid level movie - 50 mil or so.

That's something I'd like to do. I think I would start smaller so I could learn what I'm doing before I drop that much money into a single movie. Start with a low budget Indie film, then move up in increments. I'd hate for my first big movie to fail.
 
Serious answer:

Open state-of-the-art cancer research center and clinic joint with Duke, UNC, and NCSU. Build it closer to Raleigh, NC. Name it after my brother.

:thumbsup:
 
#1 - that kind of money can get me to see my senator and spit on Schumer when he reaches for my hands.

#2-5 - laughing at him when he spends his fortune trying to jail me.
 
I'd buy an oil drilling company, so I can turn my millions to billions.

Oh, and maybe I'd buy a few cell phone patents and sue Apple with them... Just to give them a taste of their own medicine.
 
1. Win the darn thing.
2. Figure out that it is not a dream.
3. Then how to hide from the leeches.
4 .. Enjoy life
 
1- Give a part to those who gave birth to me and made me what I am
2- Trip around the world with my gf
3- Buy a nice house near the ocean someplace with no winter
4- Invite all my friends and family to my house and party
5- Find a genuine cause and give some money to help
 
1. Quit my job
2. Finish school
3. Buy a smart-mansion
4. Take my band out on tour in a fleet of sweet fully bio-deisel tour busses
5. Rule the world.
 
1. Go buy E92 M3 with all options before the ugly F series comes out, along with an E30 M3 and E36 M3. No interest in super fancy cars. Always wanted an E36 M3 but I'm just too poor and cant afford it. The E30 M3 and E36 M3 are pretty much my dream cars.
2. My grandparents are about to lose their home so I'd buy the property, rip down the old house and build a new one for them on the same property. I'd buy my mom a house as well, and a new car.
3. Take a very long vacation, see many places in the world (TANNU TUVA!). I've been super depressed and needing a vacation.
4. Get my pilots license, buy a cessna or something, and go to school for Air Traffic Control as it's always been something I've wanted to do in life. I'd still do an Air Traffic Control job even if I won that $500million simply because I enjoy it.
5. Set up an amateur radio club with all brand new top quality equipment and try to get more people interested in amateur radio, and I'd have a sweet setup when nobody was at the club 😀. I'd also make an observatory with a few telescopes to have an astronomy club for people to learn more about space and what's actually out there.
