If I were Filthy Rich
By JUSTAIRFRIEDCHICKEN+152 You just won $685,000,000.000. Your check for $576,919,302.02 after taxes has arrived. Wyd?
Edit: after checking my math 3x so this can be as realistic as possible, I miscalculated estimated taxes (37%), your take home would actually be around $431,550,000.00, about $145 million less than the title says
What’s going through your head? (For me: probably just silence, and “what?” for the first 24 hours before I process it)
What’s the first thing you’re going to do? (Me: probably research lawyers and financial advisors near me. I wouldn’t tell anyone right
away.)What’s the very first priority you’re getting? (Me: a car)
What’s your next plans you want to use the money for? (Me: self development. Upgrade my gym, move out to a very nice condo or townhome, go to the nice grocery store and stock up, upgraded wardrobe, invest in different things to become my best self, etc, etc, etc)
What’s your ultimate intention with the wealth? (As in: do you just want to focus on improving and investing your life or do you want to make sure this money gets passed down through the next generations? Or, are you wanting to be a philanthropist and invest a good amount of it in some type of charitable cause? Etc) (me: me me me is the priority)
Whatever you’re doing for money now, are you going to continue? (Me: No lol)
Everyone write their answers and if you can come up with some more questions add that as well :)
One thing I want to do is have the gofundme app, and whenever im bored, just scroll on there and read the stories and randomly just fully pay off random ones anonymously.

+133 @DanielSong39 My first thought: I'll have to pay another $200M in taxes this year
+40 @_DannyG_ I immediately hit up my good friend who's a CPA. Set up trusts for everyone I know and love, put the rest into some sort of interest generating set-up and live off the interest. Quit my job, buy a nice but modest house in a good area for golfing, and golf every. Single. Day.
+19 @Jlt42000 First off, going to send another 150 m to the IRS to cover my tax bill.
+17 @AlbatrossAntique7202 After I win, I've got 6 months before my name is released to the public. In that time I'm: 1) Changing my legal first name. 2) Getting two phones. One for my private life, one for everything else. 3) Heavy research into lawyers. I won't be needing a financial advisor. Maybe an accountant for my taxes though. Afterwards, I'll take care of some people. 4) While I won't be giving away money, I will buy houses for my family and friends. The houses will all be in my name so they may not be sold. Rent will be just enough to cover the property taxes every year. 5) New vehicles for my family and friends. This will all be in their names, and they can pick whatever they want under 60k. 6) College funds for children in my family and close friends' family. And then after that is all said and done, I'll be moving to another country.
+14 @donald_trumpstupee 1. What was that name of the Reddit thread outlining exactly what to do again? 2. Quit my job in a blaze of glory and begin executing on the thread from 1. 3. Making sure I protect my wealth so I will never waste it and be able to maintain the lifestyle of generationally wealthy. 4. Buy dream home, invest in hobbies to keep me busy and pursue my interests as a 9-5 (learn an instrument, try out art classes, take a cooking class, etc.) 5. Find a balance between maintaining the life style of mega wealthy/creating generational wealth and also putting it towards a good cause (start a non profit or involve myself in a cause I’m passionate about). 6. Absolutely fucking not lol
+11 @Old_Till2431 I'm buying a dozen eggs and filling my gas tank 😂😂😂
+11 @Nico-DListedRefugee My state is one of the ones that publishes winner's names, so after getting a financial advisor I'd immediately book a world cruise and get out of town for a few months. After awhile, I'd buy a small mobile home, and continue living simply. The rest of my life would be spent on traveling, and finding a way to give away all of the money(focusing on helping kids transition out of foster care, permaculture, clean water, and founding a school dedicated to punching fascists)
