[ubiquitous]

I just finished finals and my face is falllling off so I can't think right now and will do this later..

all I know is people say money can't buy happiness, but I'd be pretty damn content.

[jeepster]

1-PRS Mccarty Guitar

2-Bad Cat Hot Cat amp

3-Chambray shirt

4-Some denimz

5-Tickets to China

6-Lots of food.

7-Bank.

I can't think of anything that would be more important than the interest off the money in the bank, but everything else are long time wants.

A PRS? you queef.

I'd have Daniel Libeskind killed and Rem Koolhaas take on all his projects.

This is correct.

[gfunkdocta]

I'd walk into a Home Depot, climb the tallest ladder, and then proceed to make it RAIN on some hoes

this is it.

[julzkind]

1-house

2-house for parents

3-cars for me, micks, mom, dad, 3 brothers, 1 broinlaw, 2 sisinlaws

4-somehow piece of land in jerusalem

5-a place in ny

6-charity of some sort, education based

7-get an in to start doing fashion show makeup

8-shoes/bags

9-dresses/clothings

10-a place in a non touristy beach area...caribbean maybe, dunno

[whitney]

• beef up my parents profolio

• build them a house

• build my own home from scratch

• buy a condo in hong kong

• open up a dessert cafe that has an adjoining candy store filled with thousands of different candy imported from all over the world not just the usual suspects..of course I'd travel to the different places find/try/buy/ship back to the store

• invest in my secret "make a lotta money" or "feel very silly stupid" idea

• get an one-77

• around the world trip..must stop at Bilbao, Zealand and Berlin.

• learn how to blow glass

• buy a couture gown

[Leonard Leroy]

Oh I got it. A house that's one big panic room. I'm going to need it cause people trying to get my money adn shit.

Also, change my name.

Then move my family somewhere else.

[Seething Tortoise]

SON OF A BITCH

I knew I forgot to do something on Friday.

[whitney]

Also, change my name.

Then move my family somewhere else.

hellllllllll ya. creeps will be all over you otherwise

there is a glass blowing school down the road from my place (run by a german).. add nz to your must stops

i knew my scatter brain forgot something very important..

[NatseOklim]

1. A nice modernist home in London somewhere. Preferably West London

2. Outfit it with every nice piece of furniture i've ever coveted but never owned

3. Build a studio space in it with full screen printing, letterpress and bookbinding equipment

4. Tickets to visit every major city in the world. Even if it means hiring a small army to protect me in some of the war torn areas

5. Hire a live in cook/nutritionist to have full control over my diet - delicious, nutritious meals would just appear at the appropriate time of day

6. Hire a live in pastry chef so that I have something insignificant in my life to bitch about (how despite being so rich I still eat too many sweet foods)

7. 2 bengal kittens called Agamemnon and Menelaus

8. Every pair of deadstock Huarache Racers in my size that exist

9. Hits on everyone who has displeased me ever

10. The biggest, geekiest, 1337est PC setup you ever did see

[baizilla]

1. Buy an entire building here in inner Copenhagen overlooking the King's Garden.

2. Francis Bacon, Caspar David Friedrich, Yoshitomo Nara painting(s)

3. Giacometti statues.

4. Apartment in Hong Kong.

6. Start my own showroom.

7. Invite everyone I know to a dinner at Noma.

By now I've probably run out of money.

[newaesthetic]

Oh man...

1. Whatever my "top 5 garage" holds currently. So, a Q'porte, an Exige, a Vanquish S, an M3 sedan, and an Alfa 8C. If that's not in the spirit of things and I can only grab one to satisfy the thread title, I'd have the Q first.

2. Build a nice house somewhere either in this rough region of southern ontario, or just outside London. dunno if i'd prefer to be where i've grown up, or over the pond. Lots of wood and concrete for me too, please. Would want it to be reasonably eco-friendly to balance out the amount of carnage my garage would end up causing.

3. Related to that, a few lofts / small places across the globe. NYC, Germany, Japan, Paris, and London if I didn't build the house there. If I can only pick one to save the other spots on this list... Japan would be first.

4. Pay off debts, and any debts my family and close friends may have.

5. Tell a few friends they are taking the next 2-4 weeks off work and we're travelling for that time, partying all over the place.

6. A sailboat.

7. A pub.

8. All the furniture and electronic gizmos to furnish my places.

9. An extensive wardrobe (this is sufu).

10. A new computer.

The rest would all be put into savings. Maybe I'd throw a bit into the market, but the interest would be enough. After that I'd probably start expanding the garage Leno-style, and probably end up dying when one of the cars suffers some catastrophic failure as I'm heading around the 'Ring.

[my gym shorts]

i'm not so sure what i would do over here in the us with 110 million euro,

but i'm sure i can bend the rules and illustrate my buyings as if the thread read:

"10 things I would buy right now if i'd won 110 million in the U.S. lottery last night"

for starts, if i won the lottery LAST night, i'd have already spent a share of my funds before this morning.

excluding that

1. the winchester mansion in hollywood, just in order to keep my friends close, and my enemies closer.

2. 1 car for each day of the week, this could possibly result in me buying 7 of the same car, with a spectrum of different colors.

3. season tickets for a box suite at the honda center so i can see the ducks smash every visitor at the "pond"

4. the whole apc fw09 line

5. i might be running out of money so lets say.. some flowers for my mom for mothers day hahah

6. invest a few grands on Apple.

7. pay for a celebration dinner for a few friends and pornstars of my choice

8. a room in the playboy mansion

9. CHARITY?

10. a genius child from japan

[Orion]

1.) A few homes, for sure. One in the wilderness, way Northern CA, another in Southern Portugal or Spain.

2.) Personal 24 hr chef

3.) I've always wanted to be rich and find a small business that is cool as fuck and drop insane $. Just set them for life in 1 day.

4.) I'd buy Vallejo just becuase it went bankrupt, no other reason. Re-name it.

5.) Charity donation to Shriners.

6.) I'd have someone rebuild my last car that was wrecked, '99 Acura SLX. It was a complete fail for Acura, but I loved that thing...

7.) Original art. Leungs.

8.) Build a Great Dane rescue facility for the wife.

9.) Keep money aside for the kids to help them start a business or travel.

10.) Make studio album like Marky Mark did in Boogie Nights. I'd be completely awful, but my money would ensure it would get produced.

[evisu 2000]

i'd probably parlay it with denver and cleveland tomorrow.

[poly800rock]

you guys know you don't get the payout all at once right? You get it in monthly/bimontly/yearly installments over a long period of time. It's bs. Everytime someone who isn't already rich win the jackpot, they almost always go for the smaller "in-full" payment right away, often arranged by private companies that do this sort of thing. So they get much less than they actually won and these companies make a killing in the long-term. People almost always blow their load (shitttt must not fap) on stupid shit immediately too and often go back to being poor as shit after a couple of years. There was this whole big episode on "This American Life" about it. Made me tres tres sad.

Anyway, if I got 110 mil Es in the bank in one lump sum, the following would happen:

1. Apply to grad school right away, not having to worry about fin. aid or having to work beforehand to help pay for it.

2. Get a nice condo in a brownstone in the Back Bay.

3. Fill it with Eames and Jacobsen.

4. QPorte.

5. Pay off my parents' loans

6. Pay for my sister's edumacation

7. Put 10 mil in 100 different MMF accounts (fed. insurance.. fail safe, reset button if everything else goes to shit)

8. Invest 50 mil in long-term bluechips (stocks are cheap, thanks recession)

9. Donate 2 mil a year to HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria. 1 mil to rainforest protection.

10. Have one massive hedonistic night on the town where I would be swimming in champagne and models (hey, you've got to celebrate. you just won 110 mil eurozzz)

i don't know bout the euro lottery, but it's better to take the "smaller" half payment lumpsome. something along the lines of inflation.

i'd buy a fucking island.

[NatseOklim]

Euro Millions is tax free and you get it all as a lump sum...

[Guest baybayfingaz]

1. buy some lofts in NYC, France, and a beach house in Jamaica.

2. buy myself a nice Audi A3.

3. open a boutique in downtown Sacramento and blow the other shit out of the water.

4. shoes for days

5. set my friends up for life.

6. fat donations to shriners.

7. do two girls at the same time.

8. build my own private golf course

9. sail the ocean blue

10. private chef

[jeepster]

if you can't arrange a menage a trois without money, then you don't deserve one.

that's a life pursuit, not something that gets solved by money.

edit: of course it can be, but that's not authentic. just hookers.

[DüM]

you dont even have to pay for that shit directly though if that makes it better

[Orion]

7. do two girls at the same time.
