What Would You Do if You Won $100,000,000?

[infection]

I was going to ask how much the Jazz cost but it looks like Wes beat me to it.

I’d pay off all debts, then but $10M somewhere that’s intended for retirement or to live off the interest in some kind of worst-case-scenario. I’d quit. I’d probably maintain some level of involvement with what I do, but in places that are more meaningful to me, maintained at very minimal commitments. Would probably start writing. We’d travel a lot. That’s probably about it. For now. I’m sure the lifestyle creep with $100M is a bitch, though.

Family

Buy my parents kidneys (legal to do in Iran)
hire them a full-time nurse/carer
build them a house suitable for their care needs
Establish trusts for the children of my friends and family.

Property

Invest 40 to 50 million in property, some owned outright, some mortgaged to maximise tax concessions. Should provide me with a monthly income of around 150k

For me

Buy a spacious 4 bedroom home in the inner city with a back yard 2-3 mil.
Buy a rural property 3-400 acres probs 4 mil

Work

I can't be bone idle, (I'll drink myself to death) So that in mind I'll need a hobby job, also a job that I can employ my friends in, all of my closest friends come from a hospitality background so with that in mind.

Buy a warehouse somewhere in the city, convert to a craft brewery, art/performance space, pub and community activism space. Look into the prospect of buying and doing the same, in Sydney, Brisbane and maybe Adelaide. Establish a touring company to bring acts out to play those venues.

Interests outside of that

Travel the world with Mrs Rubashov.

Are there any nice 90's Corollas?

80's Corollas was were it was at imo.

Ahh, I think of them as being from the 90's (that's when we got one), but apparently the ones I like are the late 80's ones.

What are y'all gonna do with a $3 million house that you couldn't do with a $750k house? You get sick of it all eventually.

Anyways, buy more and bigger tractors and equipment. More ground. Continue to work myself to death. Life without work, or a purpose, is worthless. I'd get bored.

With 100 million...

Invest a good enough chunk so I can live off the interest.
Obviously I’m done working. Period. The time and energy I spend working will be put to use in other uses. The cliché ones. Philanthropy, humanitarian stuff.
Our parents get a chunk. Something like 5 million each pair.
Siblings get an amount. And yes, it’s based on how you’ve treated us. Some of them would be pissed with their amount. But at the least, enough to pay off mortgages. Give each niece/nephew a college education.
Buy a dream home here in the Salt Lake Valley somewhere. Buy another in a warm locale, probably Hawaii, but away from the tourist traps.
Find a way to fund education in 3rd world countries. Since I did my mission in Honduras, I’d focus there and spread to the rest of Central America.

I actually like my current house.

1. I’d finish landscaping it. I really want a gas fire pit, hot tub, and water feature. In real life only 2/3 of those are realistic to put in in the next year.

2. I’d get a place up in Park City or Kamas. I’m not big into nightlife but I love escaping the pollution of the valley and get to the crisp air of the mountains. I love kamas as it acts as a jumping pad to Mirror Lake. I’ve never made it to Christmas Meadows but it’s definitely on the list. I’d probably buy a warm weather place, I love San Diego.

3. Seeing so many of you talk about wyoming reminds me of how much I love the Jackson area. I’m good living in Wilson, Alpine, or Jackson. The grand tetons is the most naturally beautiful place I’ve ever seen.

4. I’d get a better camera and become a pro photographer. I love landscapes and wildlife. I’d also get a top of the line smoker and pay to learn how to make the most delicious beef brisket.

5. I’d travel with the wife. I don’t have much interest in Asia. I’d love to focus on Europe. We went to London last year and really loved it. Wish we could’ve spent a month there.

6. Put a good chunk of it to scholarships, education, and health care. Seeing thousands of Utahns without health care and/or homeless is sad.

7. Pay someone to beat up Michael Jordan since The Last Dance has reminded me why I hated the Bulls so much more than Kobe and the Lakers or Lebron and the Heat. Joking (mostly) of course. I don’t condone physical violence on the biggest D bag the world has ever seen.

I’d buy a dope house in Maui... not beach front... but up on the hills a bit. I wouldn’t work a traditional job... find something I’m useful in serving others and do that... you can only goof around and play golf so long before you get bored... you’d need something. I’d probably but rental properties as the safe cash flow investment but I’d probably start a private equity company to invest in small business owned and operated by hard working folks and help grow them.

I don’t know that I’d change my primary residence... but we’d spruce things up a bit... maybe I’d buy the house next to me to use for a man cave and have some extra storage and space.

I’d probably go to a lot of basketball games but ain’t gonna have season tickets. Every time I’ve ever wanted to go to a game court side tickets were available at face or less... so I’d go to 10-20 games and sit down on the court.

I’d prolly find a couple small businesses I could start and work alongside my kids... if they wanted.

I enjoy this exercise... makes you think about what is most important and that money wouldn’t make you all that much more happy. But it’d help you do some cool ****... fun to dream.

80's Corollas was were it was at imo.

I had a 69 Toyota Corolla in high school. That thing was a tank. It was indestructible and used very little gas. One cylinder ceased up and I was able to cut the piston and it kept running on 3 cylinders.

For real, buy a pit Barrel smoker. They're like $300, and incredibly easy to make brisket over charcoal. So good. I highly recommend, such better flavor than a Traeger.

An '82 fastback SR5 Corolla was my 1st car. A truly good looking Corolla inside and out. Built like a tin can though. Reliable but it was no match for the rust belt conditions where I drove it.

1. Buy land here on the Oregon coast, get an architect & builder and all that and get the house going. (Actually, a big house and a bunch of surrounding tiny houses for visitors.)
2. Pay off my parents' houses, and my brother and brother-in-law's houses. Buy a duplex in Salt Lake for my niece and nephew, or maybe a whole apartment building and have them manage it, so it isn't just a gift.
3. While the house is being built, travel. Decide if we want to get a 2nd and/or 3rd residence, but mostly travel a bunch. See some plays, etc.
4. Open a small coffee shop/book store. Mostly to share what I love, maybe add a cinepub on. Also, I learned a lesson from an old boss of mine. He made a couple of million with an invention, took a few years off, and then got a job again, because he needed to keep busy to stop spending money.
