If you had won the 758 million lotto what would you do?

[RichardTheFrog]

I would go on tv and be all folksy and innocent like Warren Buffett. Then copy all Warren Buffett quotes:

"Pick wonderful companies with a competitive advantage."
"Just invest and read and you'll be rich like me."
"Always invest in America."
"I love simple stocks."
"Being rich is easy, it just takes patience."
"Just read, read, read, read, read. Money will start flowing in."
"Who you marry is the most important decision in life."

Then play the ukulele and act like I'm a working class citizen like everyone else.

So how does Warren Buffett do it then?

Then again nowadays...you'd probably end up being pranoid that people were going to find out where you lived and bring a squadron of dudes to rob and kill you.

Pay strippers and prostitutes to go out with me and call them my girlfriend. Then brag about all the girls I'm getting to you guys over here and how much they all love me.

Comments like this reveal men who have rarely scored. Double, I've documented the entire relationship, going back to last September now, including when I got dumped in June for a guy 21 years younger (funny how nobody said I paid for that).

I suspected money was a factor also, which is why our breakup was the silver lining. She never made it about money. I've dated strippers in the past, and naturally when they dump you, it's logical to think "can I buy her back?" You can't (talk about the ultimate rejection - they say "You can't even PAY me to f*ck you!" Ask me how I know). It's all about attraction level. Paying a girl who is attracted is better than being with a girl who is not attracted for free.

Question: how would a man prove that a woman really loved him?

I'd purchase a few properties first. A place in Southern California on the beach a place in Texas & a place in Argentina, and a place in Switzerland.

Obviously I'd pay off any debt.

I'd set up a meeting with T Boone Pickens & ask him for advice.

I'd give an endowment to St. Jude's Hospital.

I'd create an endowment for my alma mater (something Pickens has done at OSU).

I'd get into leveraged buyouts and VC funding.

 

[Red Legg]

I would give it all to Donald Trump's reelection campaign.

 

[Dingo]

Hookers and blow.....

 

[skinnyguy]

Quit my job, work out 3 hours a day, go to exotic places around the world, party with celebs, and sit court side at Lakers games

 

[Fruitbat]

I would buy a huge mansion with 20-30 rooms. I would source the finest women of all varieties and train them in my sexual preferences. I would employ staff to regularly STD check them and give them a fantastic salary and life.

Is there a man alive who doesn't have thoughts like this?

Set aside 5% for lifestyle upgrade. 10% to immediate family, 65% in various banks and the remaining 25% into businesses. Maybe develop a serious stock portfolio. If I was that close to being a billionaire why not finish the journey ?

What businesses would those be? How would you find them? Would it be stock purchases?

Why? What tangible benefit would it provide other than stress?

Once I had done fulfilling my carnal desires etc....would it not be better the change "businesses" to "charities" and make a god damn difference to the world?

I am no liberal but with that money you could create something awesome....which could change the world.

 

[Solomon]

First

I would buy my parents a big house wherever they pleased and made sure they were set
I would start a business or two in what fields not sure yet
I would buy a house in San Diego, A Condo in Minneapolis and rent a Loft in Germany, Hamburg to be exact
I would rent the Minneapolis condo out in the winter on AirBnB to make more money,
I would buy a couple cars, travel the world and keep a stable of 20 different chicks at all times
preferbally, Colombian, Brazilian, Polish, German, Dominican, Estonian, etc

invest a shyt ton in ICO's and Crpytos and make even more money

I would be living it up

 

[Wilko]

No grand ambitions. City apartment with great location and great views (probably in my home town). I may even rent, because at that point, impressing people with my "homeowner" status seems a bit redundant?

The more I think about it, I probably wouldn't buy another car either. I'd walk around the inner city. Uber for everything else. Rent something exotic when I'm in the mood.

In terms of indulgences, I'd be more inclined to do things like fly old friends in for a bit of split-screen co-op and some takeout.

Of course, I'd still have to find a productive way to spend my days.

Call me crazy, but I think I'd just work odd jobs that appealed to me. Find business I like with great people. Finagle my way into a job with them. Maybe do a little angel investing if it seems right.

Escorts? I'd give them a go to see if it scratches the itch, but I don't see it becoming a hobby.

 

[corrector]

Buy my parents a house and a car. Move out of here and buy myself and home too, and then see how it is like to be alone and on my own, and see if I'll stay, or rent out the house and move back to my parent's house.

Other ambitions would include:
1) Getting a private airplane license. Perfect taking-off, spinning and landing of an aircraft and of course passing the school examps.
2) Buying a farm with an airfield as a base of operations.
3) Producing and directing my own movie and compete with the likes of M.Night.Shamalyan, or Jordan Peel or Cristopher Nolan
4) Trip to fly-over Antartica.
5) Visit Italy, parts of Europe on an road-air-rail trip which would include kayaking in Venice, snorkeling in Tobago.
6) Missionary trips to parts of Africa and India to understand extreme poverty and have a heart to help people out in the world.
7) Donate to NAACP, and any social justice organization and churches.

If I become corrupt (i.e. and there is a risk that could happen with that much money):
1) Visit a psychologist and be under supervision if I start visiting prostitutes/escorts again to test all mental reactions, anxieties, and see exactly what is going on inside my mind in these encounters.
2) Go on sex-tours in Thialand and Brazil if I'm able to visit prostitutes/escorts without having a mental break-down or risk of demonic possession.
3) Give half of the money to organizations that fight against human trafficking or enslavement of women to ease my conscience and see a shrink again to see why I just did that.

Now, with all of the good ambitions listed above, it's the hope that the good ambitions will outweigh any dark potential. That being said, dark potential may not happen. After all, I have some money now and I don't see escorts. Why would I suddenly change my behaviour if I have that much money?

He is a crazy old nut. Don't ask me how I know. You wouldn't happen to be an Oklahoma State alum?

No. Another Big 12 school. Some of my contacts in Dallas have had dealings with him. I hear he's nuts but crazy like a fox. Lot of those oil & gas guys are like that.
