What Would You Do If You Won 50 Million USD

redbread123

So we're all gamers, we all dream of quad 2080 ti and and 9900ks, what kind of setup would you guys get with that kind of money, I would donate to charity, my family and just never get a job and die a gamer.

This is why people talk about lotteries destroying winners.  Live life.  Not doing so is death.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

I stand by my statement.  Generativity is a quality of life requirement.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

doing nothing, with no achievements is very sad.

being that 9-5 gamer then you'd probably need liposuction every year to suck out all the fat thats been gained for sitting for 8 hrs a day

Pretend I didn't, and just live normally, knowing that if something happens, It will be fine. Maybe invest at least some of it. Celebrate by eating a large kebab :P

What you do doesn’t need to make money.  One of my dad’s friends when he worked at Harvard (he was a research entomologist) was a woman with the last name “rothchilds”. there is only one family in the world with that name.  50 million was likely play money to her.  She was the worlds foremost experts on fleas.  I understand she had a pretty amazing wine cellar though.  I wouldn’t know.  I was in third grade.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

Remember that your $50M usd is really only just $25M usd

plus the majority of you would be broke in under 5 years

and most likely dead from an over dose, or car accident

 

 

now if you were to win $50M cdn, that is not taxed, and is worth $38M usd

There are companies that will invest for you.  Some of them are even reputable.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

Take all the interesting courses I want in college, not necessarily pursuing a degree. Probably add a few years to my college experience to learn about everything I want to. Stay humble(Keep the $ a secret), but do travelling/study abroad and fix my damn car. Pay off parents'/Sibling's debt(as inconspicuously as possible hopefully in some way without them knowing), Get some more clothes, and good food. Stick in my house and not expand my lifestyle other than that. Get smart before investing in anything, mainly stick to index funds. Maybe start Venture capital firm and take on Silicon Valley. Just things off the top of my head.
