Fire_Power Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 You wouldn't be human if you didn't blow some of it on toys and trinkets but I'd like to think I would find some worthy causes to help out too. That might be as rewarding as complete self indulgence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 5 million to spend on my family, buy myself a ferrari, invest the rest. Substitute the Ferrari for an Aston and I'm thinking the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darksoul Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 $5m - Play money Buy a new house (with huge yard) Build huge games room. Would need to be at least 12 x 24 metres. Have a toilet, shower, couple of beds in separate area. Have a workshop separated from the main floor of the games room. Buy a selection of pins, vids, trinkets. New cars for me and the wife. Spend a bit on family members. Bank the rest. $45m - get good financial advice before doing a thing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobobsworth Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 50 million is a hell of a lot of money. We're talking generational wealth now. I wouldn't tell a sole. Your kids would go missing next time they went to the shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prktkljokr Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Buy Julia Gillard some hair dye, That red hair shits me more than she does. Pay the rego on Baz's car, set up a safe way to transfer money and call it Pal Pay. :lol Ok maybe I would need to take a week before it all soaked in and I made unwise decisions :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 50 million is a hell of a lot of money. We're talking generational wealth now. I wouldn't tell a sole. Your kids would go missing next time they went to the shops. There was a guy who lived near me that BRW valued at 750 million many moons ago - he blew up his cash in a couple of property deals gone wrong, last I heard he's bankrupt. 50 million is not as much money as you might think, don't get me wrong, it's a lot of money, but you can easily blow it over a year or two.

twobobsworth Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Sounds like the guy who owned parklea markets. Agreed 50m isn't going to get you into BRW, but it could set you and your decendents up very comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGR Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Heard about this a few years ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Carroll_%28lottery_winner%29 A former binman, Carroll won ?9.7 million[1] (then US$15.4m) on the National Lottery in November 2002, aged 19. He enjoyed a celebrity status for a time in the British media as the self-proclaimed 'King of Chavs', a phrase that he emblazoned on his black Mercedes van. He spent his multi-million fortune on illegal drugs, gambling, and prostitutes over the next few years before declaring bankruptcy and returning to the ?42 a week in jobseeker's allowance he had been claiming before.[2] He has since made two suicide attempts. Interesting read..... And then this: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/curse-lottery-winners/story?id=2941589#.UB1JR6A358c Kenneth and Connie Parker were winners of a $25 million jackpot. Their 16-year marriage disintegrated just months after they became rich beyond their wildest dreams. Jeffrey Dampier, a $20 million winner, was kidnapped and murdered by his own sister-in-law.

Homepin Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 A guy I knew in Cairns won about 3 mill - 10 years ago. He bought a new Range Rover, a huge flash house, lots of jet powered radio controlled planes and basically spent like he was a millionaire (which he was, but not for long). The thing that he didn't realise is that he didn't have the huge income you need to keep paying the upkeep, rates, insurance etc etc on all of these things and so the money dwindled away and after 2 years he was back installing airconditioners for Hardly Normal.…......wife gone, living in a rented house.

femto Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 The money might not buy you happiness but it would certainly buy a better standard of poverty! Seriously, 50M would certainly buy me a sense of freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodolddays Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I like the idea of investing 45 mil and spend the rest . 1. Pay off all debts 2. Quit my job 3. Travel the world until we got sick of it 4. Buy a place somewhere exotic (eg Bora Bora etc) and live there a few months of the year 5. Buy a place somewhere on the Amalfi Coast and live there a few months of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
