Tabb, w/ 1,000,000.00, I'd invest the majority of it and continue to work, knowing that the interest payments and dividends will allow me cool toys for the rest od my life if I plan correctly :)

My sister is an accountant for a major firm and tells me all these stories. Many make their money on interest of their already huge investments. Then they all file for extentions on their taxes since the money they make on the interest is hell of a lot more than the late fees they have to pay...

Invest 1/2 of it.
Pull out my dusty-friend backpack & cammera gear from the closet, and travel to as many of the destionation that I have read about.

Travel plan: Central America/South America > New Zealand/Australia > SE Asia > China > South Asia > Midle East > Africa > Europe > home to rest & think about where in the world I would want to work.

I would buy a "red" Dodge Viper - then see just how fast that babe would go - then pay off a lawyer/speeding ticket without any pain! :)

Then I would invest what remains. :)

They say the first million is the hardest, so I've given up working on it, and I'm proceeding directly to working on the second million. ;)

Anyone who amasses a million in liquid assets in one place has only themself to blame if they go broke. What I wouldn't do with the first million is live like a "millionaire." I'd put it someplace that guaranteed covering all my basic living costs, hopefully forever. That would give me the freedom to go after any project that looked promising for getting the next million with the security that I could afford to fail while trying for more ambitious goals.

1. Take over the world. :D

2. Make world peace. :D

3. Buy a car and a house. Then live on the rest while I work..... (The real answer)

Get a built in 300-Gallon Freshwater
Dual Processer Server in house and own T-3 Line, with UT2k3, Battlefield 1942 and several Half-Life Mods :D
Remodel the house
Pay of my parents bills
Get a girlfriend

Anyone else want to say anything?

if i had a billion dollars, i certainly wouldn't want a girlfriend tying me down. I could buy girls for a million dollars, besides, that GF would more than likely only be after the green.

Rent an apartment for myself, furnitures/appliances, an Audi A4; then a BMW 3-Series for my sister, Suburban and Mercedes for my mom and dad; put the rest in the bank, then I'll continue going to school and work.
