That's a lot of crack. I'd buy a mansion with acreage in Sonoma County and a flat in SF, lots of toys (boats, cars, bikes), travel, and invest some...nothing out of the ordinary.

If you tried to do that w/ $33M, you got a 50/50 chance of being broke in 10 years, IMO. $33M isn't all that much money anymore, and without the crazy big payback of the stock market or real estate to invest in, you can't turn $33M into full blown baller wealth these days.

If I had $33M, I'd probably just live off the simple interest from very conservative investments (should be about $600,000/year) in a 3000sqft house on 2 or 3 acres and build cheap race cars to play at the track with. If the markets ever turn around, I'd want as much available as possible to invest with. I figure, by the time I have college aged kids, a year of school will cost $100,000 easy.

But I'll never get $33M from MegaBucks. When you program the software that runs it, the state of Nevada doesn't take kindly to you playing.

I 'aint mad at those odds.

:liljon:

I would pay off the rest of my parent's house, finish school and leisurely take classes till i am satisfied with my education and buy a nice house (nothing extravagant) with a big garage with lifts air tools etc. build a race car out of a GC chassis somewhat conservatively then buy an 09 sti for dd, and invest/ save about 25 million.

So where do I work? I feel an opening coming up LOL

I would take 3 or 4 million to live on while I finish school, and burn the rest in a public spectacle.

No you wouldn't.

2 chicks at once?

I'd probably make a track/autox monster STi, buy a house to live in and a few as investments, and pay off my parents' house. The house I would buy for myself would probably be in So Cal, or the Bay Area. I love Cali, and living off of the rent of all the houses I just bought, I probably wouldn't have to work, and therefore no Cali commute. I don't know if I would finish school first or not... It would be hard to focus on school while I'm trying to spend all that money, so probably not haha.

I just found you on the internet.

I don't think you get the whole 33 mil. in one check; probably paid over 20 years, so 1.5mil/yr and uncle sam takes 40-50%, call it 800K/year after taxes unless you move to CA and give them say 100K/year of it.

Still not bad. Trick is to spend as little of the first few year's so you can start making income from it rather than wasting it.

I'd invest it in a diverse portfolio of investment classes and live off the income. I'd still be a cheap bastard, just a better funded one. Used Porsche Turbos are way cheaper than new, right? :)

I have no desire to have a huge house, just something normal sized, but nicely furnished with a kick ass garage. I would finish school and blow a little on something ridiculous. I don't want to hear about how they drive or how bad of an idea it would be...

"StateFarm Auto Insurance, how can I help you?"
"Yeah, can I get a quote for a 21 year old male on a 2009 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640?"

I'd tell my boss off in such a fantastic way, that I'd probably not legally be allowed on Kietzke Ln. anymore...

Then I'd go crazy Howard Hughes style. Not quite on his budget, but he'd be sort of a role-model of mine.

Sans that whole, locking yourself in a movie theatre for months at a time with out bathing or changing your clothes and eating only chocolate bars and milk while collecting all your waste in the jars and stacking boxes of kleenex?

IDK I just thought you might want to leave that part out...

I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities...

Buy a sweet suit, get a custom sig, and hang out in Ritzy german Casinos.

They wouldn't insure you. Period. :lol:

You'd have to prove to the state you have enough liquid assets to cover potential damages you might cause to others in lieu of insurance just to register it and then drive the car uninsured.

I'd like to think I could stick to my principles, but money changes you. I wouldn't know until I was in that situation.

No matter what your principles are, having money to dedicate to your cause will always be more useful than the one time spectacle of burning $30M.

Yeah, I know...so, even if I hit megabucks or a jackpot and had outrageous amounts of money I couldn't buy an exotic until I was 40?

You could, you'd just have to float a bond and essentially "self insure" it since no insurance company would take the risk.

The bond would be a drop in the bucket at that point, though. I want to say its like $15,000 or something. Even if its $50,000, I'm sure your megabucks can cover that.
