If I were Filthy Rich
Popular posts+24 I would spend it all on helicopters to Mount Everest.
Don’t make fun of me, this is just an idea. Idc if it light work it sounds good lol. So I heard that helicopters can reach Mount Everest height. If I won multiple millions of dollars I would spend it all on teams of people to fly to Mount Everest and pick up all the preserved bodies they could fi...
+13 Would you consider buying land?
If you became an instant billionaire post taxation. Especially if let's say you live in a state that requires you to disclose your identity, would you consider buying an estate with lots of land to keep your distance? Any scenic places you'd like to buy like a forests? And what kind ...
+64 What do you think about Graham Stephan's investment plan for winnning the $1.9 billion Powerball jackpot?
If he had won the $1.9 billion dollar Powerball, he would have a $528 million lump sum after taxes. Then he would invest $150 million in Market VTSAX giving him a new income of $375k/month $150 million in Market Bonds VTBLX -> New income of $375k/month $75 million in Triple Net CRE (comm...
+42 I'd pay for people's coffee or groceries for the day.
My kids daycare are organising a coffee van on sites on Friday to celebrate mothers day. We still have to pay for our own purchases and I just thought, how good would it be to contact them and say, yea just put it all on my bill. A few years ago someone won quite a large lottery close to Christma...
+29 What car would you buy? What do rich people use their sports cars for?
I've never been into cars but I'd like a nice one like an Aston Martin but I just don't know if I'd ever use it. I'd never want to park it anywhere and where would you go in it? You can't go shops because it's not big enough for shopping and can't go pub because yo...
+28 How Big of a Lump Sum Win Would You Need to Live Where You Want & Travel As You Want?
Currently about $85 million left after taxes would be enough money to buy the two houses I would want & provide enough income from investments annually to pay the expenses to maintain both homes, ie insurance costs, and staff to maintain both homes such as maids and gardeners and leave enough...
+71 Anyone else immediately going to therapy if you win the lottery?
Obviously after the shock and excitement wares off and you're more level headed. Curious to know how many guys and gals would have that on their mind following their win.
+28 Now, what would you do with $700 to $800 million?
Based on the Fox News settlement with Dominion Election Systems (please refrain from that topic specifically though I know this itself is triggering). If you wanna talk politics, how do you think a political party, side of the aisle, or some political group could use that lump sum?
+36 I'd start a coffee shop in town
If I won the Euromillions, I'd not want to stop working completely but I'd do what I want. I'd buy/rent a small place in town, on a side street. I'd furnish it with some really nice quality tables and chairs by the window, a bar with non-alcoholic drinks and coffee machines. I...
+31 What is the isolated wealthy area of your state that folks buy a house in to not be bothered?
In certain areas of West Texas the real estate sells for a premium partly because of the isolation and it being hard to access from a major metro. This area is primarily concentrated around the Fort Davis, Marfa and Alpine areas of West Texas, but really, lots of other small towns in the 432 area...
+44 Any new hobbies you'd take up.
Any hobbies, interests or talents you'd take up or expand, including taking a class to meet new people? New horizons to explore. -Sent from account in my mobile (typed that out)
+49 I’d open a business and hire myself as an employee along with other staff.
I’d work my way up the ladder within my own firm and see how people treated me and others. I’d use the experience to write short stories about hijinx and I suppose mishappenings in the workplace. I wonder how long it would take people to find out who I am.
+32 Two Questions:
Feel like I shouldn't post here but will anyhow. This is extremely indulgent but; If you won (and kept) a billion or more? What is a crazy idea or out of the box scheme you'd like to try out with some of the money? Or an innovative idea. Please keep PG/wholesome; who would you consi...
+32 How Would You Protect Your Money?
In this day and age with bank failures and the Congress threatening to default on the US national debt how would you go about protecting a jackpot win? Unlike the uninsured depositors at failed SVB in the news today who have been bailed out, I would not count on a bail out, I would not keep the ...
+33 What would I do…
Complete full body check up health wise. Then pay off my student loans and my parents mortgage. Then buy a stupid big house by the coast, and probably a dolminos
+36 I Would Invest in Me
We rarely have time or money to fix problems we have with ourselves, but that would be the first thing I would do with the money, aside from paying off all my debts and securing citizenship and a passport from at least 2 other countries. I would have lasik to fix my eyes, no more glasses. I would...
+41 I would host my own version of who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire/shark-tank where whoever has the best long-term life/happiness plan gets 1million dollars and will be followed around every 6mos to see how their plans are unfolding.
It would sort of be like that showtime documentary that gave 100k to a homeless person except hopefully more uplifting.
+27 How would you break the news to your immediate family?
We have the choice of anonymity in the UK and I will be staying anonymous. However, I can’t imagine winning and not telling my parents and siblings. So, if you are close with your family and you won a life changing sum of money, how will you break the news to them? What I would do: Once I’ve ca...
+73 Nothing novel. I’d just quit my fucking job
Nothing novel but I’d just fucking quit my job. Being in the rat race is almost unbearable. Every day is the same. Deadlines, stress, etc. shit is not healthy. I also don’t like my bosses having ‘power’ over me. It’s such a freeing feeling when you quit and they can’t do shit to you. Just sick of...
+24 I'd buy a Pilatus PC-12
A few times I've taken a Boutique Air round-trip flight from Carlsbad NM to Albuquerque NM. It's an Essential Air Service flight and they use Pilatus PC-12's. It's not quite as fast as a full-fledged jet business aircraft but it's still a dream to fly in. They are also very ve...
+35 Suppose a hypothetical $1 billion Powerball jackpot winner was to invest the lump sum on his own. Let’s also hypothesize that after 7 years, his investments have done so well, he is now worth $30 billion. How likely are news outlets and investigators to find out about his past?
For the sake of argument, let's suppose that the Powerball jackpot won in January 2016 ($1.5 billion) was won by a single person: a 21-year-old college student. After realizing he’d won, he hires a fiduciary at a reputable law firm, who then claims the ticket through an LLC. After receiving ...
+24 unhealthy obsession
I find myself daydreaming and even regular dreaming of the lottery. As a strugglint single father of 2 beautiful girls, I just want to give them the world, but I'm always caught up in work and making ends meet... just so sick of the hamster wheel, figuring out what to sell to pay a bill, jus...
+67 Hey guys...I think I'm going to win.
I came up with this idea...see, I bought TWO tickets this time! That gives me TWICE the chance to win compared to everyone else. I don't think anybody has ever thought of this strategy before! Sorry everybody but I'm pretty sure I got this one in the bag.
+24 If you won a billion, what would you do as a Foodie?
What would you do regarding food especially as a Foodie? Hiring a professional full time personal chef? Buy a restaurant or two?
+17 What kind of business(s) would you open?
If you won a billion or two or something? Would you be willing to open a "business" even if it runs a loss (supported by investments) because you appreciate the service or even space it provides? Any big or small economic development plans like save the small town or something?
