What to buy if you won the lottery

[Gnocchi Flip Flops]

I'm pretty sure there was a topic on this but posting there would create a large bump so I decided to create a new topic. Lock if you don't see it as necessary.

 

Okay so what would you buy or do if you won $300,000,000 officially from winning the lottery? Likely I'd buy a decently sized house in Greenwich, Connecticut or somewhere around there. I'd probably buy a custom built garage that could fit maybe 10 cars which would be:

• Porsche 991 Carrera 4S - blue w/ tan interior
• Audi S8 D4 - blue w/ creme interior and CFRP trim
• Aston Martin V12 Vantage - orange w/ carbon package
• BMW M3 Lime Rock Edition - of course orange
• BMW 650i Gran Coupe - Orion Silver w/ Individual creme interior
• Ferrari California - manufacturer two tone(yellow body and black roof) & custom made
• Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe - matte white w/ creme interior
• Ferrari Dino 246 Spyder - blue w/ tan interior and Daytona seats *if I can find one*
• Bentley Continental GT V8 - blue w/ light brown interior & rich looking wood trim

And maybe some other cars, of course less gawdy, maybe. My houses' garage would contain more cars that would be my everyday drivers. Some of the ones above could be but I just wouldn't drive them as often. I'd probably have:

• Mercedes E550 Cabriolet - blue w/ blue & creme interior
• Audi A7 - grey blue w/ nougat brown interior
• Jaguar XF Supercharged - dark green w/ tan interior

My "decent sized" house would be this, but in blue and custom made:

 

The garage would have three slots, I'd have a few more trees, and a pool in the back of the house with some decent landscaping. Either way it'll be damn expensive as property up north usually is.

I would buy a big house:

 

 

And an equally big model train set:

[ShadowDog94]

A mansion in the Bahamas, a Ferrari, all the video games I'd ever want and a lifetime supply of Coca-Cola.

[Homemade Dynamite]

- A beachside mansion in Malibu.

 

- Several sports car, luxury cars, a quad bike and some other cool vehicles.

 

- All the video games, movies, anime and other entertainment I would ever want.

 

- Like the user above me, a lifetime supply of Coca-Cola.

 

- Invest some of the money to so I can have even more money coming in.

[Smith John]

First thing I'd do is hire the SAS and US Nave Seals to protect me from the threat of Rosie O'Donnell trying to mug me to pay off her Pizza Hut tab.

[Mr Rabbit]

I'd move out of the country.

Buy a nice flat in the other country

Buy an alienware gaming pc.

[Pyrrhic]

- A nice beachside house in France.

- A nice beachside house in Miami.

- Build a bridge between France and Florida.

- Buy some businesses to keep the money rolling in.

- A fleet of Subarus, one Impreza WRX from each generation.

- Stakes in Rockstar Games

[acmilano]

A job(no kidding,where I live corruption is incredible).

 

Also PS4 and Audi S4

[98 in 1]

If I had a million dollars, I'd buy a damn brewery and turn the planet into alcoholics.

 

If I had a magic wand, I'd make the world suck my dick without a condom on while i'm on the john.

 

If I had a million bucks, it wouldn't be enough cause I'd still be out robbing armored trucks.

 

If I had one wish, I'd ask for a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Being serious though, I wouldn't buy anything outlandish. I'd buy a house, a Subaru Impreza WRX, the best damn PC money can buy, shares in Apple, and some juice.

[headmetalbanger]

- Buy a home in England, Canada or Asia and live here forever.

- Buy many business companies.

- Buy a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.

- Travel the world.

[na89340qv0n34b09q340]

Probably a big old house in the middle of nowhere with lots of land and lots of distance from other people. Preferably something that needs fixing up, but not so much that it becomes an entire job just to live in.

 

The rest would be spent when needed.

[Finn 7 five 11]

I'd move out of the country.

Buy an alienware gaming pc.

I'm sorry, but an Alienware still sucks ass, even if you were that rich it wouldn't be worth your money. If you had 300 million you could hire a team of geeks to build a supercomputer for you.

Or just spend 2-3 grand on kickass parts and build it yourself.

 

As for myself, well let's do something cool rather than the typical buy 10 cars and some big ass house, which is a really boring way to spend 300 million.

 

- First off I'd buy a few nice houses around the place, one with a massive gym, and a convenient apartment near the city to bring women to.

- Secondly I'd find a friend, or a few, and take them with me as I travel around the globe.

 

- Then I would vie to get myself into a position where I could bang Katy Perry.

 

- Then I would return and spend the rest of my years bragging about my money, how I banged Katy Perry, and trying to find a substitute for her, which I never do, and eventually fall into a depressive spiral. (Seriously though i'd go to University and study my ass off and perhaps start a company of my own, build a legacy)

[018361]

- Pay off family debts.

- Travel.

- Buy a decent everyday car. No need for a fancy sports car.

- Do more social things ( without having gold-digging "friends" ).

- Buy a decent house somewhere nice. No need for anything too fancy.

- invest.

- fix my teeth as well. I'm tired of having the teeth of a chain saw or beaver.

 

That's about it. I may want to try pilot lessons and buy my own plane, but otherwise that's it. I don't want anything too fancy, but I do want a nice house and legitimate friends. Maybe try to learn a new language or two. I am rather happy with a more simplistic life or at least I think I would be.

[TheGodDamnMaster]

-Buy a home and set aside a good chunk of money to pay utilities for the rest of my life.

-Buy a DeLorean

-Put a couple million in a backpack and carry it with me everywhere.

-Give money to immediate family members so that they could retire whenever they want.

-Donate to various charities

-"Accidentally" drop wads of cash in public to see how people react

[XxX19Dude95XxX]

strippers and booze

[Gnocchi Flip Flops]

I forgot to add what I'd do. I'd probably enter car clubs, go to car events, go on trips with some of my cars, occasionally travel overseas. Hell I could live in Germany if I wanted as I am technically a German citizen as well.

[Mr. House]

Hire a Private Military Company and take over a small but notable African country.

[iiConTr0v3rSYx]

Give it to charity.

 

-whispers- Yeah f*cking right.

[Crazyeighties]

I think I would buy mysel a small house on a large plot of land, fix my car, then I would help my parents and grand parents fox up their houses. After seeing what's left over put the rest away for a emergency fund

I like this idea but the better portion of $300 mil shouldn't be left in a rainy day fund.

 

I'd put quite a bit into the stock market, venture capital, a trust for myself and family (the rainy dqy/emergency fund) and the rest into tangible assets including precious metal (hedges against hyper inflation) and real estate.

[GTA 360]

Well first I'd keep it in a high interest account, not for any time, just put it in there so it lasts as long as possible. Then I'd buy a nice house, nothing too extravagant, and a nice car, and I'd retire, not have to work for the rest of my life because I didn't go out and waste all of the money, so I'd be able to do what I want, play what games I wanted etc. Maybe I'd do some work occasionally if I really liked the job but I'd have enough money to tell them to stick it if I ever got bored.

 

OR

 

Buy a successful business and allow it to run its self and have no part in it whatsoever and just watch the money roll in and repeat as above but houses and cars more like bill gates.

[Killerdude]

Buy a Small house in my Home town, Buy a Handful of nice Older Cars, Maybe some new ones.

1973 Duster.

1974 Cutlass

1976 Nova SS for the old man

2014 Corvette Stingray

2013 Camaro ZL1

 

Pay off any existing bills and Debts, When its all said and Done, I'd donate a large amount of what I have left to various charities.

 

Maybe invest in a Business

[Satourn]

I would buy a console and a good gaming PC.

I would buy all the games for them I'd want.

I would buy Steam Machine with Steam Controller.

I would buy several metal albums (most of Megadeth's for sure).

I guess I would buy a house as well, though I don't know which size etc.

[36Chambers]

Buy A LOT of lottery tickets.

 

 

 

 

But seriously, I'd probably buy a decent car and have my family live comfortably for the rest of our lives.

[Rewas]

 

• Buy a house

 

Buy master master race aka Powerful PC

 

Buy a car

 

Buy PS4

 

Donate some cash to charity

 

Spend money on casual stuff like clothes, food etc..

Better off investing in something, inflation will eat up your interest.

[Algonquin Assassin]

I'd get plastic surgery to look like Niko and pay for NYC's name to be changed to "Liberty City" permanently.

Oh, Australia pays like 3-4% but still way better off investing.
