If you won millions, what would you do ?

Oct 12, 2011#1

For the purpose of this discussion, lets say you won $200,000,000, what would you do with it ?

I would give about $50,000,000 to local charities (more specifically the local charity for re-homing and helping cats), spent about $1,000,000 on a nice house in the country (with a very, very large lawn to mow every week), $500,000 on a nice classic car to cruise around in, $25,000 on a top of the range ride on mower, and keep the remaining $148,475,000 in the bank.

Oh, and of course, I'd give a Million or so to all you guys... The cheques are in the post :laughing:

What would you do if you won the above amount ?

Answers in a reply please...

I would pay off the rest of my loans from college and the house mortgage. Buy some nice property to build a new home, get some reliable cars, build a massive entertainment room in the new house, then invest the rest.

Reason I would do that is then I can keep donating all of the money earned from interest to different charities for the rest of my life and in the end get a lot more out of it! :biggrin:

Not going to happen
(used up most of my luck when I met my better half :biggrin

.

If I came into $ ---- there would be world class work shop and tools to work on my machines. There would be a LONG building for all the Ventrac attachments.

I'd help out when I felt someone or some group was deserving, but ONLY if they did not ask for it. NO BEGGING PLEASE :thumbdown: !

If you have followed my posts at all, you would know that I enjoy helping, but would have no tolerance for undeserving beggars.

Would most likely use some of it to help Service members and their families who need help because they made a choice to serve their Country and are having trouble with finances because of it.

Not sure what the government is like in Scotland, but here about 55% of what you win in a lottery, etc. goes to taxes and Social Security....so there your winnings are automatically reduced by more than half.

I think about $500,000 would be enough to buy it from Muhammad, don't you think ? :laughing:

According to Google, TBN.com is worth $16797 on Website Worth, did not even bother to check on LMF.com as we know this site is PRICELESS....:laughing::laughing:

Yes, sure is! Priceless in a good way right ?

I couldn't resist... I checked, and LMF is worth - $1,569...

I think they've missed a few zeros out there in my opinion! :laughing:

Does it matter!? :laughing: 2 Million of anything is a lot!

And for the record, yes, I meant US Dollars.

By the way, you don't need an apostrophe in "Dollars" :laughing:

I would have to disagree. 2m Zimbabwe dollars is only 5,314.91 USD :tongue: Not saying I wouldn't take 5,314.91 USD, but that would not get me very far in building a new house :laughing:
Now 200m ZWL is 531,490.83 USD so definitely still worth it, but hey free money is free money!

GOTCHA....who do you think you are now, BUGS BUNNY? He is usually shown in the cartoons (Looney Tunes) munching a carrot and asking "Whats up, Doc...?"

Elmer Fudd is a grumpy old fart like me who hates that "wascally wabbit" he pronounces his "r's" as "w's".
