Yeah, I don't think you could just go around screwing chicks left and right since they maybe trying to get preggie to get that nice child support check every month.

 

[xtknight]

1. Give everyone in my family $2 mil each.
2. Acquire big house, designate 10,000 square feet of it to an industrial-style computer room/home theater with a 103" quad-HD plasma screen and BrightSide LCD. Setup cluster of 100 8-way-Opteron PCs to perform any operation in nanoseconds. Somehow hook that up to 4 8800GTXs and the huge plasma. Fastest gaming machine anyone?
3. Get all the best and most comfortable furniture. Buy tons of food, and invite the whole neighborhood to watch some movie.

[RaistlinZ]

Bah, houses are for losers. With that kind of cash I'd build myself a castle!

Maybe something like this. Or perhaps this.

Or, If I really felt like getting away from the rest of the world, maybe something like this.

 

[HombrePequeno]

1. Pay off the 10 or so G's I have in student loans.
2. Probably donate the money required to pay off the mortgage on my fraternity's house which would take up a few million..
3. Invest the rest so I could live comfortably off the interest and probably give the interest I don't use to charity.

[randomlinh]

1) pay off all debt.
2) buy a section of a neighborhood out, preferably a court or something... or lot of land... good for 3-5 or so small homes. build central garage.
I have some good friends that this would be perfect for. Alternatively, build homes around a garage (want to open up a tuning shop. no piss ass tuning, real performance tuning. giant wings and stickers need not apply, unless it's actually a sponsored track car)
3) invest securely so my family will not have to worry too much. but make it so they have to still work for it and aren't leeches and actually contribute something.

1) Secure funds
2) Buy a few modest properties in tropical areas, where I can be anonymous.
3) Scuba dive and fish until I croak

2. Donate a lot of it to a charity.
3. Invest a large portion of the remainder in a Roth IRA.
4. Pimp my car.

I like my job, and if I didn't have it, I'd be incredibly bored. You might argue that with $100m you could find lots of new things to do to keep you from getting bored, but there's no real meaning in it.

Further down the line would be to buy a nicer house in a better location (nothing too fancy or big, though), a few toys, maybe a new car (<$40k), and, of course, lots of charitable contributions. I've always wanted to do some work with a humanitarian group like Choice.

If all you'd come up is a month nice vacation and otherwise life as usual....i think you might have a problem

Or you are REALLY the luckiest man on earth who already has everything, but also no goals or dreams (anymore) ?

 

[flexy]

1) pay off mine and gf's debts, give money to friends/relatives
2) hire lawyer to advise me how to secure/invest the money
3) buy MODERATLEY priced house(s) and car(s), maybe one houses here, one in EU
4) live off interest, mainly travel, hang w/ friends, have fun.

Well, I don't think you're going to come across many people who work 40 hours a day.

Assuming that I have redeemed my ticket, opened bank accounts, paid taxes, etc

1) Purchase a mansion with a 5 car garage and fill it with expensive electronics and computers and everything, and the garage with a Mercedes SL65 AMG, a Corvette Z06, an Audi S8, a Bugatti Veyron, and the biggest and baddest Chevy truck money can buy.
2) Do the same thing for my parents, and donate a sizable amount to charity.
3) Invest the rest in a diversified portfolio and live off of the profits.
