Much, much more than $20 million. There are yachts that go for much more than that.

That said you could probably get a pretty nice ship.

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'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.




Point taken. I would clearly help out those who had helped me through my life(parents, relatives, etc) , but not just handing out money. Giving something sentimental value, i have always wanted to do this but if i had this money i would definitely give back.

I would also invest in real estate, possibly around 4 million. I don't know what a guy could do with all that money sitting in the bank and no job? could you? with my add/adhd i probably would end up with a serious drug/sex addiction(srs) . A wife, kids, comfort of home, but even working at a home office..could be a bit mundane..
I would absolutely pursue my dreams, put funds in things i had always wanted to do. A music career, with the correct equipment, and host my own parties.

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.




Anything like a private jet would be a bad investment. Fly commercial, just like buying a ferrari, you want to drive that bitch around everywhere, but at the same time you dont want to put a lot of miles on it. Due to the fact when miles are had the prices goes down quite significantly. I would probably run a huge drug operation as well, get some serious connections and have at it. Only need the funds to start that.

I'd probably buy some land, a house or two, and a bunch of greenhouses to start a nursery.

I'd buy some land and a house. And some toys. And never work again.

That is only $200,000 a year for 100 years. You could invest it in a bond fund and get $200,000 a year and never touch the principal.

Open up a distillery, brewery, restaurant combo up near the best snow skiing place in the world. Live running that and skiing the rest of my life.

Distill a whiskey
Brew a good Pils and IPA
Cook fresh, exquisite cuts of all types of meat

I'd buy farm land, set up a recording studio & buy a life time supply of LSD.
