First thing id do is spread it accross quite a few banks (You know how **** banks are with our money already). And the other half id buy a small reserve of gold and precious metals (Holds its value well). Make sure family where sorted for life, give them 1 mill each or something like that (if they blow it all in 6 months thats their own lookout they wont get any more). Ask the Russians very nicely if i could take a ride on their next Soyuz launch to the ISS...chill there for a bit whilst contemplating how best to spend the remaining 60-70 million...
I would set-up 2 different companies using the money for good. The first is a cooperative for smaller businesses to loan out the money at 5% interest (or inflation) for the research and development of products, or to strategically manage products and place them into new markets, firming up the British manufacturing economy. The second would be opening a nationwide series of stores which sells decent flat pack furniture, employing local craftsmen and designers to bring back local styles and tastes instead of the bland standardized shite which you find everywhere to drive that nazi sympathizing tax dodging ikea out of this country. Of course buy family homes, sort out retirement plans and pay for my nephews/niece to be educated properly.
I'd probably throw around 63 million of that into a number of charities and other good causes (113 is a bit too much to hold onto). 30 of the remaining 50 million would be divided up across 4 banks (7.5 million in each), out of the 20 million remaining my two sisters would get 2.5 million each and my parents would get 10 million to share. The remaining 5 million would then be used to invest in land (a house with approximately 30 acres for myself) and a number of smaller plots around England to develop on in the future.
1# A house in Turk & Caicos, for my parents. No more snow for them 2# A trip in the UK for my Mom, she dream about that. 3# A Chevrolet Belair 57 convertible for my Dad 4# Send my nephew in a private school with a private english teacher. Public english teacher su... here. 5# I want an appartment in both London, Tokyo, Paris and Montréal. And my own coffee shop in Manhattan. about the car hummmm maybe something like a Maserati quattroporte or Jag XJ 3.0 Diesel
There's a house in my village I've had my eye on for years that's way out of my price range, so I'd go knock on their door and offer them a very fair price for the place It's up on a hill in a very quiet area, far enough away from neighbours on all sides which is why it's perfect for a recording studio! So a fair chunk of change would go on kitting it out with a gorgeous custom API mixing board, plenty of top end outboard gear, a dream microphone locker and a Steinway Grand piano. Then I'd get round to writing an album, it takes me forever to compose anything so that should keep me occupied!
first thing first, go out for dinner maybe pay for pizza if i feel like spending some money then the rest of it i would just leave.
allocate 1m to building the most awesome pc known to man and submit it for bit-tech consideration . After auction it off and give the money to charity or give it to bit-tech as a prize for a competition. divide a fair amount to the family. by a small coasy house a fuel efficient car take a few holidays set up a couple of businesses donate to charities support environmental projects try and do good not become a greedy asshole thats about it
I'd build a super sexy PC and take driving lessons. Then I'd buy everyone in my family a nice house, and 1 for myself obviously. I'd get me and my brother and sister a nice car each. Get my best mates a flat and a nice PC each. Basically I'd sort myself, my family, and close friends out. I'd also have a holiday somewhere nice and buy a ticket on that Virgin Galactic space plane thing. Then I would see how much was left and give some (would be millions) to charity, making sure I had enough left to live off the interest.
Your mum would be very dissapointed LOL! na its nice here really I think i would buy a badass cruise ship get some awesome bands and DJs and have a sea party Then i would make the most badass arcade evar! all vintage machines but then have just stations with crazy nice gaming rigs and invite only friends
I have to say, I'm a little disappointed by the responses here. Not one person has suggested building a vault, having the remaining money changed into pound coins then using the vault's diving board to swan-dive into said coinage. Anyhoo, in the grand scheme of things, 113 million isn't as much as it seems. Investing it would be the way to go, rather than blowing fat stacks on shiny trinkets. Although a slice of celebratory cheesecake might not be a bad idea. Super edit ... ninja'd by Kenco
Probly give half to a few different charities. Buy my parents a new house so give them a bunch of money so they can retire. And hire people to clean and cook for them so they can go and enjoy whatever they want to do. Mom would get absolutely anything she would ask for. Dad would get a massive workshop and garage with all the tools he could ask for. And a couple old classic cars for him to restore. Buy my sister her dream house and whatever else she wanted within reason. And put away a bunch for her future wedding (whenever that will happen). Grandma would be put into a fancy old geezer retirement home thingy. I would get myself a nice super high tech house. I wouldn't want it to look very fancy but I would want it to have really cool tech stuff. Super awesome audio video stuff. Nice big garage for a few nice cars. Large workshop with awesome CNC stuff so I can build anything I want. And an ISSF certified shooting range so I could host a world cup in Canada. I would retire and spend my days with my GF/Wife (if applicable) and shooting and building stuff. Oh and a small racetrack complex. All in my own country with 50 foot walls around it.
I would buy Sealand A Jaguar XKR A Supercharged all black Mini A G650 A Veyron A Zonda F Roadster A Crazy-ass computer and server farm A Sweeeeeeeeeet house.
...maybe I'm too old but: for those wanting "to buy their own insurance company" or "Ireland" or the likes...113million isn't, well, THAT much money It would suffice, however
just make sure you get freshly printed money, otherwise it'd be like having thousands of people put their fingers on your bumhole. personally i'd be uneasy in said situation.
1. get rid of the girlfriend... she spends too much of my money as it is! 2. Set some family up for life- Grandparents enough to see there lives out in luxury. Parents pay off mortgages, never have to work again + some spending money Buy siblings houses etc and then sort of set them up for life.. 2mill /40 yrs = 40,000 a year maybe even get it paid to them monthly so they dont ***** it all but are still comfortable 3. Buy myself some decent homes in decent places, some cars, gadgets etc travel a bit 4. SAVE a decent whack to gain some interest to set future mini-me's up 5. ????? 6. PROFIT!
You could probably pay people to do that for you --------- On topic now: I'd buy my mother and 2 sisters a house each wherever they wanted, then tell them to stfu and leave me alone for the rest of their lives I'd buy my brother a beer ad tell him to bugger off Buy my brother-in-law a) the car he always wanted and b) the car hes always wanted to trash, then go out and completely wreck it. Buy myself a nice studio apartment, and build my own house somewhere sunny (house would be completely hi-tech, with workshop and studio underground. Get myself 2 supercars i've always wanted: Lambo Diablo SV and a Shelby Cobra, oh and a Mustang. Invest 50-60mil in various industries. Put what is left into a bank so I can earn interest. And finally donate a few mil to a nature conservation group, like WWF. PS. would prob buy a house at/near the Kruger National Park (yeah, I'm South African)
