If you won $200 million in the lottery, what would you do?

Post Reply New Topic

1)would invest probably arround 100 million
2) buy some houses (nothing too big or too fancy) but would want some in cities like Barcelona, Rome (San Crispinos gelato is just something else) , Montreal, Halifax and somewhere in Australia.
3)quit university
4) go on vacation for a while (forever i guess)
5)donate some money
6)buy a boat

I would donate AT LEAST half of it. One hundred million is more than enough for any greedy person.
With the rest I would buy a house in the country, set up a trust fund for my children and spoil my parents.

Convert it to UK money so I can actually USE it
Buy a Bugatti Veyron
buy nice things for my friend in the US, and pay for her to come here (though I'd find a way of doing that without winning any lottery)

1. Host a 3-day international buffet banquet
2. Start my own multimedia design business
3. Buy myself a new house and car with all the furniture and furnishings
4. Invest in the stock market
5. Give some to parents
6. Give some to charity (again, no PeTA, Greenpeace, and ALF allowed)
7. Save the rest in the bank

I'd have 6 story, 40 bedroom house built for my friends, family, relatives and myself. My family can have the bedrooms on the 1st floor, my relatives can have the bedrooms on the second floor and my three friends and I can have our bedroom on the 3rd floor. The kitchen and TV room will be on the 1st floor, the snooker/pool room and bar would be on the 2nd floor and the cyber room with 10 computers would be on the third floor. That would also be the Wii room, where people can use the Nintendo Wii.

Outside, I would have a running track, a swimming pool, a baseball diamond, a soccer/football field, a hot tub and a sanctuary for the mum of one of my friends, because his parents would be living with me, as well. There would be a 10 foot fence around my property, so that the big kids won't peek in, and the cats and dogs won't escape.

If I have housemates who wish to keep working, or keep receiving their pensions, they can.

We'd also take trips out in the evenings, in my shiny, red Routemaster.

Move to America, get a mansion. The mansion would have over 50 rooms, a swimming pool. I'd have rooms for family and friends. A giant cinema-sized TV, a computer room, a large swimming pool, a huge garden. Of course, there would also be things like arcades, rooms for things like pool, snooker, table tennis etc. I'd also like to give some of my money to charity.

$50 mill to Mom and Lee, $50 mill to my sister, her partner and Zoe, $25 mill to Autism charities, $25 mill to Unicef, $25 mill in savings and the last $25 mill I would SPEND SPEND SPEND

Move to Boston or SF, buy a house, make a game room with my own network of computers so people can come and we can game together. Buy myself a new chaos army, and have a big table to play warhammer on. Buy my mum a house too so she can live near us Donate some money to the NAS. Give some to friends too.

Gimme the money first and I'll think on what to do

Ensure my family and friends were free from financial burden.

Find those who helped me find the best qualities of myself and reward them.

Make an Aspie friendly place of acceptance where we could grow instead of struggle.

I would keep my mouth shut and tell nobody about the money. I do not want a lot of spongers trying to tell me how well they know me and how I should reach in my pocket.

I would pay off my loan on my house, I would then have a good long laugh if the bank manager reported me as a possible money launderer when the police come around to see me.

For a laugh I would ask my boss for a pay rise, just to see if he would give it to me or not.

I would buy a second home in the forest.

I would set up my own version of the Leverholm foundation except this one would only give money to non-NTs. I would invest as much of the money as possible in bonds, stocks and shares. ethical investments only and not the banking sector. The interest from these investments would then allow the foundation to fund a series of worthy projects which would be good for the AS community.

Save the feral cats that're to be trapped and put away tommorow...

I would buy the house I'm living in and have a long-term retirement. Also, stop receiving government aid. Yeah, Totally. Maybe get a cat, or a pet rat. o.o Then invest 10 million into Indie Game Developers like Iron Tower Studios -.-

1. Pay dept
2. Custom build house, nothing too big but I got some odd stuff I want in
3. My own electrical engineering lab and workshop
4. Invest what left
5. Plan what to do with investment return (Detailed in next section)



If investment return permit it, I would start a foundation that reward a Nobel like prize but for those of autistic spectrum, to show the world we can do great thing when we are not suppressed, now which domain would be rewarded I admit I am not sure yet, but would risk to be in this order of importance engineering, science and culture. Maybe also a special prize also for school for integration of autistic spectrum students.

And a small chunk for myself, don't need much for has long has pay the essential bill and tax; a well maintained car (any car for me has long has it doesn't work and/or look like a bucket of rust, but would risk to be fully electric car, wouldn't travel enough with it to be worth the use of an explosion engine and where I live we have low carbon electricity production and huge electric potential); an updated computer; new video games, movies and music here and there; a cat or two; a bicycle (which I would use over car most of the time when temp permit); a bit for expense here and there (like going out) and finally cloth which I admit would take a huge increase in cost if I had money for I would get hand tailored made for I hate shopping for my own cloth (my stature make it very hard, at time, to dress depending what the current "mode" is in shop)

1. buy house + accessories.

2. gift money to family. buy my friends some stuff i know theyll like.

3. put everything in the bank, except a tub-full of bills

I would rather help out a young aspie scientist, other professional or student with some money at the start of their working lives to get them set up in life than to give them a gong at the end of their working lives. If you get a noble prize it tends to be the end of your productive working life as you will have to spend so much time giving lectures, going on tour and dealing with "people" so you will have little time for more research. Some people however have beaten the odds.

M. Curie and L. Pauling ("Dr Vit C") both got a second noble prize.
