Wine, women, and song.

The rest I would spend foolishly.

Pay off my debts, my immediate adoptive family’s debts, find my biological parents, invest, build a trust fund for my future kids, and become a philanthropist focused on educational needs… Specifically ones that steer youth to maths/sciences.

I would invest in building a biofuel plant. This is the industry of the future and will make you x10 your initial investment. The rest of the money I would spend on traveling the world.

Pay off debt, buy a decent home and a Porsche Cayenne, live off the interest for eternity. I’d probably travel and work with nonprofits, pursuing photo dreams.

pay off my debt and that of close family, buy a good house, set up funds for all the kids in the family to pay for their college, start an antiques business for myself and hire someone to run it while I travel the world buying for the shop, and invest the rest, using only the interest it accrues. That would be the big things…I’d be MORE generous with charities and the needy to account for the larger income.

I think most of us, if “given” $10 million, would blow it all within a few short years. In most cases, only those who go through the actual creation process of earning such a large sum of money are able to hang onto it and make it grow. Just because you are given a ton of money doesn’t make you a financial guru. It has been said that if they were able to take all of the worlds money and spread it out evenly to all the worlds inhabitants that it would only take a few years and 90% of it would back in the original hands that previously possesed it.

pay my debts, and then live my life normally, giving and spending as I see fit.

Bank it, invest it, and live off the proceeds. $10 million, conservatively invested, should net me about $500K a year; that’s more than 5 times what I make now.
