Question If you had $100 million dollars?

What would you do with $100 million UNTAXED dollars???


Me, i would do this:

Give $25 million to my mom and dad.

Give $10 mil each to my 2 brothers.

Then I would move somewhere where i can have at least 10 acres of land, where i can build a big *** garage.

Next i would Buy my 5 dream cars:

1) Corvette Z06
2) 96 Corvette GS
3) 69 Charger R/T
4) 67 Mustang GT (Fastback, just like the one my dad had senior year, in 67)
5) 41 Power Wagon

Then, Take 10 million, and spread it evenly among my closest friends.

And the rest of that $45ish million.. Bank it, Invest it, and make sure I save some for the kids.




So.. What would you do with that much?

Re: If you had $100 million dollars?

I would lose my mind. And try to outdo Jay Leno with his collection of cars. Although I am not into steam, or the very elegant Duesenburgs. I want my own team of mechanics, and I want rare horsepower, new horsepower, odd ball horsepower, american muscle, european exotics, and a auto garage the size of a super wal mart, with a small but nicely equipped home that is a architectural marvel.




I really don't want much...

Re: If you had $100 million dollars?

I'll give every forum member a $1000.00 so they could buy whatever they want for their FJs. May be little more to Air2Air since he got more expense on his FJ.

Give half to charities, keep a couple mil form the wife (tropical vacations) & myself (for mods) and split the rest up between my kids and all my nieces and nephews.

Re: If you had $100 million dollars?

First, I'd build a house on a large large lot (big enough to accomodate an short airstrip). I'd give this one to my folks.

Then I'd build another house for me, with a taxiway running to the airstrip.

I'd make sure the rest of my friends and family are taken care of, and then:

There would be a hangar, with a few multi-axis cnc machining centres parked among the FJ, my 89 project truck which would now be finished thanks to all this money, maybe a Lotus, and a couple planes: Spitty, ViperJet (built myself of course!), Cessna on amphib floats, maybe a Rans for circuits, one plane my dad gets to pick...

Then, I would wheel and fly when I'm not learning whatever I want to learn or machining stuff. I think I'd become a doctor just for fun as well. Always interested me...
