The government would take it away citing eminent domain. A housing development would generate more tax dollars.

Of course, it will make the town look like crap, since the nice view and relaxing setting that the farm offered will now be a view of your new neighbors looking back at you and increased traffic.

Sell 10 mill of it. Build giant windmill/solar park with the proceeds and pump the electricity into the grid. Take half the profits and donate to charity. Take the rest as a way to pay the taxes on the land I kept. Keep a few hundred acres and build a nice ranch and live on it.

I'm still waiting for this option. Who needs a farm to have two or more chicks, when you have $75,000,000.

Sell some of the land to a developer, use money to develop some of the land, then use more money to develop the rest, becoming a developer... profit.

Sell it... take my $75 Million... err... $35 million


1. Beach house
2. Condo on the Residen-sea
3. Luxury box at Qwest Field
4. Have several pairs of chicks stashed around the word



That still leaves me with about $25 million... Guess I'll have pleanty of time to think of other things to do as I sip martinis on my lanai and watch the bikinis walk by... :p
