What would you do if you came into a small fortune in your early 20's-30's?
    #18904452 - 09/28/13 08:40 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Say you come into around 20 million flat.

what would you do with it? would you still work, would you invest your money..

even at 30 years old if you had no job, that would seem boring? if you had everything, i don't think i could be the type of person to just sit on my ass..

i would probably get a lumpsum amount of cocaine. have a nice and affordable pad, with a comfortable life, a wife and kids, with some sort of hobby/job that makes income.

20 million can't last 40-50 years now can it?


what would you guys do?

I'm 24, chasing 5 million by 32-33. That alone will allow me to separate from my job almost completely. I plan on purchasing a share in my company which is privately held. At that point, I will work less than 10 hours a month and will live off interest from my investments.

If I had 20 million dollars today, I wouldn't go to the office Monday.

5 million is enough to live a decent middle class life for like 80 years. More money than that I would donate or invest in good causes but the first five million is mine!

I'd have more money than the US.

The potential would be limitless.

I'd buy some headphones and order a pizza.








Then I'd move, buy a white-picket-fence home in the suburbs, put at least half the cash into safe investments.

I'd go to school and probably set up some kind of business, maybe a mushroom farm, or a restaurant brewery combo.  I'd do a lot of traveling and do all the thrill-seeking stuff like- skydive, surf, ski etc.

you guys wouldnt get bored sitting on a bunch of money? say it was money that you did not earn..

i would have to pick a new hobby..

i would be scared with this much money, because i know i would buy copius amounts of kilos.
throw a bunch of parties, and live a life that i once always dreamed of.

then i would retire at 40. have investments, real estate and whatnot

Didn't come into a fortune as you mentioned, but enough to know what I'm doing.

10 days till Brazil man. :laugh:

im just imagining how exciting it could be to have that money in real estate and just plain cash...

i'm just posing the question, wouldn't you get your jimmies rustled if you came into this fortune? hahaha

i would definitely buy a house somewhere in brazil. and another country in europe probably.
definitely would keep most of my money out of the US, since that recession thing started and will only get worse :lol:

Awesome man!!!!! First destination Floripa?

I dunno I have a lot of interests that require a lot of money.  I'd probably design an ambisonic music venue.  Buy a nice house and car and study acoustics.  Pay college kids to make me cool shit that I dream up.

I would start a non-profit foundation and continue the same job I'm doing now.

Would likely take some time off to travel the world

My jimmies would for sure be rustled in a good way I guess...but I'm done being materialistic man. Lived this way pretty much my whole life.

I bought a nice piece of property in Floripa and building my house there when I do get settled. It's on the west end of Lagoa Da Conseisao.

In the mean time I'll be in Jurere Internacional which is basically like South Florida. At least I got a place to stay even though it's not my ideal place with people showing off their flashy cars and houses, but that's the way it goes.

As far as your question tho, yes. I'd buy a place in Northern Cali, a chalet in the Austrian Alps, and maybe a place in Hong Kong besides the Brazilian plan I already have. Also, no...first destination Rio. That's where I'll be landing. I'll PM you my number if you wanna meet up. I'll only be there for a couple days.

thats cool man, i have had everything a man could ask for in this life. but truly, having security, knowing that you have money in the bank and don't have to nickel and dime it like a jew(which i am not, or don't) . My psychedelic use has taught me many things about materialistic bullshit. i am way past this as well, at one point i wanted to be known. But now, i am comfortable in my own skin.

wow...Jurere looks like a pretty damn ritzy south beach ish vibe! Hey, live your life. Gotta make the best of it while we are here

for sure man, vamos beber uma! Cool, landing at GIG? where in rio are you going to be? i am in zona sul specfically, definitley hit me up with your number or face or something no doubt!

I'd give about 10-20 good friends enough to pay off their student loans, maybe pay for a few friends to go to college that never had the financial opportunity, pay my parents back for their help with my college + interest and then some, then invest the rest. I'd obviously take care of myself a good bit, but I'd invest at least 5 million of it.

Edit: yes, I would still work. I am passionate about my career and could never see myself sitting on my ass. I'd go batshit crazy sitting at home all day being rich. Some of that money would go to my PhD. $20 million is a lot of money that can go very far if you spend wisely.

Take out a couple of million to live off and invest the rest, so I can maintain living like a king.

Travelling the world would be first on my list.

I think I'd buy a cruise ship. How much do cruise ships cost?

It could be an investment and I could travel the world for no extra charge on a floating mansion.
