An island for a world class disc golf resort with at least 5 courses. A dome house for me on the island, seperate of the resort. Then I'd buy land for courses all over the country and donate money/supplies to any city in the nation that wanted to install a disc golf course in their community.

It would be the same thing that I blow it on right now...travelling, women, booze, drugs....so I would drop half of it to charity, and carry on as usual.

I would buy some five-star rental property, depending on the amount, I would purchase either apartment complexes and/or commercial property in one of the top five cities of USA. In effect, I would be using my money to plant another money-growing seed. Then I would donate to charities such as the Humane Society and Wildlife foundations [since Goobs got the children's department down]. And I'd spend copious amounts of time back in Holland, and short of purchasing the site/company, I would donate to the Shroomery to make it faster, stronger and even better.

1) Give my parents and brother about 3 mill each.
2) Buy 2 Asian wife's and 1 Russian wife
3) I would buy 2-3 beer production plants. Start of a beer business.
4) Invest the rest.
5) Live comfortably with my 3 wife's .

Depends on how much $$$... I won.

Over 1 million dollars and I would start giving it away.

I'd love to buy a really nice fishing boat and take sick children fishing...
for like the Make a Wish foundation...etc.

I'd give the majority of the $$$ to feed hungry children in the United States...
I hate all the charities that skim off the money that they take in.
I also hate alot of the charities that take the money they raise outside of the United States.
We should feed our own people before helping the rest of the World.

if it was alot of money i'd buy a nice house in the city, a nice house on the beach, and a nice house in the mountains. Then i'd get a nice car, a top of the line PC, a bunch of new musical equipment that i've always wanted, and probably alot of little this and thats as well. That'd maybe be three to 5 percent of the winnings, probably less.

I'd also use some to start my own buisness doing something i've been wanting to do for awhile, and i'd invest alot of course in mutual funds and real estate. The investments would be the bulk of this 50%. And i'd definetly hook up my parents and family, as well as some of my friends. I'd buy my parents a great house and send the whole family on a kick ass trip around the world or something.

Then i'd give half to charity. Got to share the wealth.  :grin: To bad i never play the lottery.

Hypothetically lets say I win a modest $10m after tax(no trillion dollar power ball)

Charities: At least $2 m

Parents: $2 m so they can lead the retirement they deserve

Sister: $1 m perpetuity trustfund to kick in one year after she finishes university. Fund would be structured in a way in which no free loading asshole could take advantage of her. The $1m would be totally redeemable upon university graduation of her children or bearing no children at the age of 55.

To my friends: 10 of my closest friends would each recieve $100,000 to be redeemed on the completion of post secondary education.

Legal fees: $ X to get my shit set up right

Me: $4-X m , Spend the better part of my life travelling the world and going back to school studying everything from physics to philosophy.

I would buy a very nice house (read: beautiful mansion) on the largest plot of land that I could purchase. I would buy a few nice cars, to include a hummer limousine, a 1987 Jeep Wrangler that would go through anything, a Mercedes Benz sports car, a H2000 and a few four wheelers and golf carts. Then I'd make some great off-road tracks around my massive property to take 4-wheelers on and have a good time. I'd buy enough stock that I Could be totally self sufficient (use their manure to till into the earth for my crops, use the extra crops to feed the animals, etc) and I'd chill at my house growin mad weed and shrooms and opium.

I would set up a non-profit organization, write several books, and generally devote my resources towards making the world a better place.

Yea, one idealistic sociology student with a few million dollars would do a great job at fixing the world. I'd suggest your first thing be "move out of mommys basement". Just IMO, dawg.

Also another house in my country...dominican republic.

Up until recently, I had no idea what a surprisingly nice vacationesque place the Dominican Republic is. And evidently my geography was far off - I was thinking the DR was somewhere around Columbia/Peru/Venezuela; rather than a Caribbean island.
