What To Do with $100 million ???????
 

What To Do If You Win The Jackpot $100 million ???????:FF:

spend it :)

Immediately deposit it into PayPal. All of it. That way, it will be safe and nobody (including you) will be able to get to it!
:pound:

Seriously?

1) Avoid ANY publicity. Tell NOBODY about it. Otherwise, everyone you have ever met will want a piece of it.
2) Get yourself a financial adviser and an attorney IMMEDIATELY.

Invest in many of my idea's & double my money...boooyahhh

Got to love that approach, my sentiments exactly.

jeffweico has it right - amazing how money changes folx, even those who are close to folx who suddenly get a ton.

Hey Jeff, I have been meaning to hit you up. :)

Invest it and become a Billionaire!!! :thumb:

Sing this song

I would have no idea what to do with this amount....its more of a headache than to enjoy it...i would make sure that all my family are very comfortable.

Actually, I DID win $200 on a scratch-off once. The kids had all sorts of suggestions about what to do with the windfall. On the way back from cashing it, I noticed that the sign in front of the animal shelter was listing a few things they needed. So, I divided the money in half and bought $100 worth of dog food and $100 worth of cat food. Lesson learned by kids? PRICELESS!

i would move my mum into a nice house. same with my dad. make sure they are sorted for the rest of there life. make sure my bro has enough to live a comfortable life. then prob put the rest in a bank and sort my own life out. i put the lottery on every week. got a direct debit set up with the national lottery. like they say. u gotta be in it to win it.

I would buy out aspkin forums quickly and ban greanbean for a few days - lol! jk

Fandango, I think that if you buy the forums, Greenbean will be leaving on hew own accord...

first thing i would do is pay off all of mine & my wife's debt!

(like jeff said) i'd get a (highly recommended & trustworthy) financial adviser. i dont know if there's a such thing as a trustworthy attorney but i'd have his / her background scrubbed w/a fine-tooth comb!

i'd set up a will & a trust fund for my daughters -- and setup a stipend for my immediate family - preferably an amount that can be easily paid from the interest that this insane amt. of money would accrue in the bank!

aside from that, i'm a simple man. i would mainly love to have the freedom that 100 million could buy me.

okay, im lying. i'd like a nice, big house with green acres. a top notch home gym with an awesome personal trainer (so i could be arnold huge!) and an equally awesome personal chef. i wouldn't mind a chauffeur, either.

i'd be the coolest person to work for, too! i wouldn't be a dick (like every boss i've ever had). all my employees would get holidays, 3 weeks off, the best benefits (i could reasonably afford) - yearly raises, and bonuses based on perfomance.

and i would make it a point to have thee most awesomest tech for me & my family (i'd have a spending account setup specifically for this). one word: newegg.

maybe it sounds nerdy, but i'd get back in college immediately - my wife, too! just b/c we're wealthy is no reason to just live off the money like parasites. the way i think that's even more reason to pursue our goals and become experts at something. i've already got an undergrad in english. but that thing isn't worth the paper it was printed on - lol. i'd probably go back & study information systems, and get every cert known to man, lol.

also, i'd like to give routinely to charities. particularly those that benefit the underprivileged and inner-city and at risk youth. i would love to give back in a way that could help a lot of people have a better life, become positive people, and not be trapped in poverty.

lastly, for my most devious act. i would have bags of dog-poo wrapped in golden foil delivered to each and every one of my former employers, with a note attached that reads: "a gift for your establishment, in honor of the time i toiled thanklessly. / best regards, m.c."

as you can see i've thought this over many a night

Of course you can, in your wet dreams.:fight:

Move to another country where the money doubles/triples and live there!

I would make sure that you are never allowed on the internet again to ask a question like this.

Ide buy a missle and send it to ebay headquarters and name it your limited! lol

but then ebay will have won AGAIN. as you will have no money left:doh:

buy ebay and paypal and un-ban all your stealths

Thank God first, and then stick to a a financial plan to ensure that I would live comfortably for the rest of my life........will definitely show my middle finger to my boss at least 100 times ...

will take that 100m to 1b

Create a foundation for africa poor children and women ,as far as we know,there are still hundreds of million poor people who do not have enough food in africa.

Also if possible ,create one more foundation for help trainning people to do business,in order to let them to be a rich man by their effort.

If more million left,if possible,i hope ii can hit the jackpot of 10000 millions

I would focus somewhat more on helping the needy of Canada - and the poor - set up a foundation.

Might you consider giving this poor person a new monitor to replace the one she just washed with cold coffee HA

too too generous, my dear:canada:

but even if i had 60 million after uncle sam digs his claws into it......i'd probly do the same thing, just half the scale...


i would have so much fun.......

Fantastic plan ! I must say..

a charity would be opened....the GTB foundation for victims of ebay & paypal:)

Not a bad idea GTB.

As someone once said (paraphrased)

If you suddenly become rich, you'd better starting thinking like a rich man fast or you'll end up loosing it all.

Most people who suddenly come in to money from a poor background just act simply as if they ARE poor but suddenly have a lot of money! So it gets spent on all the things they've ever longed for as a poor person.. pretty soon it's all gone and they're in a worse state than they started.

I think I'd just sit on it for a while and learn to live with it before taking any action whatsoever.

Certainly I wouldn't be selling on eB with PP ever again - that would all be small change and too much hassle.

Make sure you're taking care of the money and making it grow even more before starting those charities - wouldn't you get more done with $1billion than $100 million and think of the stronger political influence you'd have to do good with $1billion over $100 million..

Perhaps for a laugh I'd buy enough shares in PP/eB to have a large influence on their board of directors hahahaha!

Buy lots of physical gold and silver and ride out the impending doom of the slowly de-leveraging world economy over the next 5 or more years..

I would double it, and then double it again!

live of the interest and invest:D

i think i would go into real estate,open a few businesses and get that money$_$

Definitely take a step back and reflect before spending.

right

it would be too easy to blow it...you would need to be on tha ball

glass half empty...or half full:)

half full for me and i would fill that glass so much it would get god pi55ed

If I do have $100mil, donate to charities, buy new homes for my parents and siblings.
Invest in rental properties, invest the remaining amounts through financial advisor.
