Let's say that you have just found out that you have won 14 million dollars. What are you doing with the money?

[Edit] Post removed

go shopping!

Buy an island and make it its own country so I don't need to pay taxes

Ok, though my parents would take all the money away, this is what I would do if I were older...

First, buy an old Geo Tracker, cut the top off, get some awesome shocks and make it into a giant mud-buggy.
Second, buy a large amount of mixed desert and forest to ride my buggy in.
Third, buy a gyrocopter.
1. Fourth, put the rest (most likely around 13 mil) and put it in the bank for building up more money...
2. Alternitive Fourth, buy 49% of a company, then bribe someone with 2% that's on the inside of the company to give me their part of the company, so I get the whole company, then take all that money and put it in the bank.

*Xeno doesn't care for money that much*

I would first give 12 million dollars to certain charities I believe have a worthy cause .

I would then save the remaining 2 for in case my life ever had an emergency .

Pay off my parents so they can have a nice house, then buy a huge house for me and my best buds somewhere warm and stuff where we can BMX all year.
Then I'd invest the rest in the bank and live off the interest.

Booyaka!

spend it on beer

Ah well I'd buy my parents the nicest house - and I'd make sure my brother finished college and got to start his own business ......then my friend Mandy and I would go on that singles cruise we keep talkin about..... I'd buy me a car and I think I'd start my own group home/mental health faciltiy.....I'd end up giving mos tof it away I think

I could use a new paint brush

..erm SPEND IT!!!

Setup a fund to donate most of it over time...Invest a lot of it to make even more money(to donate)...pay off a few bills...live like I live now, but with the house totaly paid for...I am actually pretty happy now, it would just feel great to have several years worth of living expenses in the bank...quite a security blanket...



Did I mention I would throw away my alarm clock?

14 Mill huh?? Lets see,

1.)Pay off all bills, debts.

2.)Buy a large enough vehicle to hold myself, hubby, & 3 kids, along with groceries.

3.)Buy a 5bd-room, 3 1/2 bath home on 5-10 acres of land, somewhare near water.

4.)Set up trust funds for all 3 of my kids of 1 Mill a piece.

5.)3 Mill would go to savings, 2 Mill to checking.

6.)Nearly all the rest would go to animal and homeless shelters.

First and formost... I would give 15% to God... in some form. Whether it would be to help starving children or homeless families... I would give at least 15% to God and/or charity.

Then I would pay off all of my families bills... and then pay off mine. I would buy about 40 acres and build a nice house right in the middle of it.

... and then I would travel to every corner of the earth.


Oh.. and of course invest a good chunk of change!

buy an army of midgets!!

I would be out spending it, as opposed to wasting my time typing this.

I would pay off all my medical bills. Then buy a house and two cars one for me and one for my husband. Put some money in a college fund for my daughter and give a million to my son,cause he is grown and out on his own. Then i would help out my family and friends and the rest invest.

I would open a place for abused animals. There are too many uninformed pet owners out there that feel a wild animal would make a good pet, or pet owners who feel having a pet consists of a yard, and a chain. I just don't understand.

I'd be living pretty much like I do now...that is to say, with much the same standard of living at any rate I'd still buy myself a nice house..probably still in Paisley...pay off the morgage in one go, and stick the rest in the bank and live off the interest

I'd finish up at Uni though...for a start, I think I'd need the qualifications to get a job one way or another to stop myself going nuts. However, I would have an insane amount of money that could still afford me anything I wanted should the need occur...

I'd probably be pretty lavish with my friends too...my best friend's girlfriend can't work because she needs to look after her father, who has a vast array of medical problems (and in a few years, it looks like she'll be heading down the same road), so I'd probably send a few hundred thousand their way...not like I'd miss it.

I also think that people with that much money have a certain obligation to give it back too...say a few thousand on a monthly basis to various charities; again, not like you're going to miss it, and I've just got reservations about being obscenely wealthy, and doing nothing with it

I would fund my own archaeological dig! Probably somewhere in Norfolk/Suffolk/Essex area....lotta untouched RomanoBriton sites in those areas!

Got it, two Yorkie babies, DreamRebel and betterhalf.

Seeing as how I live in the USA, I would automatically fork over 7million
to the federal government.

I would pay off all my parents bills.
I would pay off all my bills and buy a ranch in North Texas.
I would have horses and cows and chickens.
I would invest the rest.


Then I would take 10 days and visit Maui.

Absolutly adorable. Your very lucky. I have a white shepard huskey mix and a springer spaniel basset hound lab and who know what else mix. Love them both to death.
Animals are the healers of all woes

Allright after buying a paint brush I would probably donate a substantial amount to Nerulogical studies particularly in the area of brain injury rehabilitation .
and then I would probably invest in an open air ticket and go visiting 1 or 2 people from UM like Celti , Neen, Halo , Oracle ,ooh Thistle ( I could finally afford a decent bird) , and so on and so on ....... and buy a 6 pack and shout everyone a beer . Thats a beer mind... just one..

First thing i would do would be to build myself a beautiful house, then i would help out all my relatives, do some shopping (from different parts of the world ), donate some of it to charity and then i would probably put the rest in the bank to live off the interest After that i would go on with my life as normally as i could...going to college etc As soon as i would finish college, i would probably withdraw some of it to open up my own business Dreams.....

I'd fund an expidition for the loch ness monster...

Buy an Island up scotland and turn it's into a country tax free called "Whisky Land." Why should i give my hard earn cash to somebody else pocket!!

I would have given a lot of money to my parents, then I would have bought a nice house for me and my love.

Then I would go to a private clinic to get medicin for my illness.

i would go to vegas and put 14 million on red.

pay off bills

buy new home on beach of Hawaii

buy a ford mustang convertible

move my parents to a nice home anywhere they wish

Get my kids in the best schools

put the rest of the money in a safe lock room with an empty swimming pool to go swimming and think how I will never have to worry about money again.

That is after I blow up uncle Sams office after taking a huge amount out for taxes!

Remember now you win 14 million half is gone because Uncle Sam is there with his hand out!

Pay off all my bills & various family members bills (except my other halfs sister - she is a cow!).

Shop, shop, shop, shop - nice holiday, shop, shop, shop, shop - nice car, shop, shop, shop, shop - another nice holiday, shop, shop, shop, shop.....etc, continue like this until either I die or more likely the money runs out!

Relocate.

Buy a haunted mansion and pull it apart from attic to basement.

Become an eccentric philanthropist.

Buy my grand parents old property (where I grew up), and erect a duplicate of the house that burned down.

Send myself thru med school without worrying about how I'll fund it.

Set up a college fund for my son

Take care of my family

Find a really good cardiologist to get my ticker fixed once and for all!

I had Wolf Parkinsons White Syndrome (Like Joey Harrington from Detroit Lions), which I had an operation for last year.

Thangs were going fine for a few months, but now I have some kind of tachycardia/arrythmia thing that has started again. The cardio doc I see now is a prig, for lack of better word. It's not the same issue as before, but he won't investigate what's going on unless I lose consciousness or go into cardiac arrest. His basic philosophy seems to be that I'm young enough to not have any "real" problems.

Just FYI...It's an irritating and sometimes scary problem, but I don't let it rule me. It's just another stumbling block-we all have them in one form or another.

That is too bad, I am really sorry to hear about that. It must be difficult and scary to deal with heart problems.

I was just reading on the topic, it sounds like there are a lot of options to deal with it, that is good.

I would like my post on the subject to be amended to add:

-Rent top notch cardiologist from Mayo Clinic, as well as keep a team of researchers on staff for soulfire...

I'd put money in my mobile and then use it to phone everyone I know, and let them know that I dont know them anymore!

1 buy a big property out in the country and take in all the animals in the pound and give them a home

2 give a heap away to help animals and the environment

3 help my family and friend pay off their debts

4 keep enough to live on with investments ect

As little as possable

Buy an island where no tax collector will come.

I would spend it on games, a luxury island for myself, my own plane, and a car, for my (big) luxury island...
