    I would put away some money in a trust fund for my kids. They wouldn't get a free meal ticket in life, but I would make sure they had enough for a good house etc when the time was right. I wouldn't want them to have their hands on the cash, and give them the option of having to work or not. I would want them to have ambition and to work hard but know they had some security. I would then set up my Mum and mother in law, with a house each and enough money to keep them comfortable.

    I wouldn't want to be someone who was filthy rich and not working, so I would invest some of the money into my business, and would still work there. The extra cash would probably mean I had more spare time available, so I would probably indulge in some new hobbies (flying lessons would be one definite). I'm not really a big car lover, but I do like the old vintage cars, so I would probably buy one. I wouldn't go mad with a house either. I would like one big enough for me and my family, with some space for any future additions or visitors etc.

    Next up would be a good family holiday, with all my close family and friends. And that's about it, nothing majorly extravagant or wasteful. 20 years ago, and I'm sure my answer would have been vastly different though:D

    Keep 10% and give the other 90% directly to people who really need it, maybe making a year of it.

    Not at all. I'd use my 10% to ensure I at least have a good barber with me at all times.

    Oooh yes. I'd love to have a big cat. Like a Tiger or even a Lynx.

    So going by typical California prices... 30 million will get you 5 acres? :p

    Some waterfront property might really be worth that, in my mind... some of those beaches are like stepping into Heaven :jawdrop:

    Buy Lily Cole. If there is something left, invest half in my company and half in scientific research (physics).

    Or if you're looking for a cat that can't eat you then a Maine **** could be a good bet.
    Either way, big cat for the win :D
