Wow, so manly! :heart: Well, hey there, Delicious - I got a perfectly lucious "rattlesnake" for you to "hunt." But unlike your rough, rugged self, it's not so "self sufficient" and needs a little outside attention from your capable self, if you know what I mean. :lips:
 
1 mil to my parents
1 mil each to my 2 sisters and brother
donate 5 mil to cancer research, 5 mil to MS research
retire with the rest

Two chicks at the same time. I always wanted to do that, and being a millionaire, I figure I could probably hook that up. Chicks did dudes with money.

Not all chicks...

Well, the type of chicks that would double up on a dude like me would...

🙂

Now, now, you've lost your touch. All you can come up with is one lousy smiley?

Am I too much for ya, old sport? You used to give me a run for my money about three or so years back. 😛

Oh hell yes.

Lessee...About $20,000 a kilo, I could have enough coke to stuff every mattress in my $5,000,000 home with a rare liquor collection in the multi-level basement and a strip club above the 6 car garage. 😀

LOL 🙂)

you don't deserve to win a lottery :shocked:
 
Pay off my mortgage, pay off my car loan, and pay off my credit cards.
Go on a long vacation and then decide what to do with the rest.
 
Pay off my parents' house, then buy myself a house, then buy my sister and brother-in-law a house.

HOUSES FOR ALL.
 
definitely invest in real estate... rent out tons of properties... keep the cash flow coming, and only then worry about what I'd do with the money in hand...
 
Pay off all the bills for my family. Buy each of us a new car, nothing outrangeous.

Buy myself a house, my parents a house.

Invest the rest. Get married.
 
1) ***OFFICIAL*** I'm RICH ***CONFIRMED*** thread
2) Links to many pix of many toys and fantasy often talk about on ATOT, some of these link might get me banned, bit it's ok> I'LL have a dedicated server just for this sorta craps, and just for ATOTers.
3) LAN Party every day on my gigabit network, including girls and drinks (I guess I'll dedicate a floor of my flat to this, probably above my 12 cars garage (Beat that Mr. 6-cars-garage dude!).
4) Pay some dudes too help me work on and launch my website (which could produce me many, many more millions)... Well, this could be a reality, if I can get some one to help me. PM if interested?
 
seriously...

go out buy a ferrari.
go to circuit city and game the hot chick @ the media counter.
go out and buy a new house.
order new PC parts.
go buy new clothes.
go buy a warehouse so I can set up a studio.
invest to make more money.
hmmmm... the dream life...
 
Well, lets see. Assuming that it is 20 mill after taxes:
1.) Buy a house. Nothing extreme, maybe 500K, which gets you a lot of house in Ohio. I'm not looking for a mansion with a bowling alley.
2.) Brand new 'Vette, immediately sent to LPE for the 427TT modification. Call it roughly 200K, with taxes and 3 months of insurance ( 😉 ) included.
3.) Finish college, 25K.
4.) Pay off the rest of my parent's mortgage, ~125K.
5.) Buy a lot of quality liquor. 25K
6.) Buy myself assorted Class 3 weapons. Which are actually a good long term investment, as assuming they arent outlawed, prices are only going to continue going up. 500K.
7.) Buy a lot of belted ammo. 10K
8.) Buy a large farm as close as possible to my house to serve as a range, and source of income. I have no idea how much a farm goes for right now though... so we'll call it an even million. I call it a source of income because I think the feds are still paying farmers to NOT plant crops on their land.
9.) Barrett M82A3 (if they are selling those to civvies, if not than I'll "settle" for the M82A1), M95, M99, and M468. ~20K.
10.) A more practical car, maybe an STi with minimal mods. 40K.
11.) Three chicks at the same time. Priceless.

I'd take the remaining $15,000,000 (the above list is only about 3 million, but if I didnt have any overruns, I'm sure I could think of something to do with the other 2 million), put most of it into investments, some into a savings account, and then do whatever I felt like doing. Which might be what I'm thinking of now, ie getting into the PLC program.
 
pay all bills
fix current house up, sell it
buy a couple of houses w/ garages
buy car
spread the wealth to friends (we have a deal if any one of us wins lotto, we'd share some)
invest invest invest

You don't need $20 mil to talk to the girl at Circuit City.
 
Pay my bills, pay off mortgage

repeat for family members

Custom build a new house, leave where I work the majority of the time now, and do my own business full-time

Throw in a winter home in the Caymans and that is basically my list. Though, I think more ammo is called for.

FAR more ammo. Class 3 weapons eat ammo like a fat woman eats Bon bons
