If I were to win 100 million dollars...
I would go on a buying spree, just like anyone else. I have specifically thought about what I would do with 100 million dollars just in case something like that does happen.
First and foremost, I would give a lot to my church and to various charities.
Now to the commodities. I would look on the market for a house around 5 million dollars with at least a 10 car garage. The house must have 5-6 bedrooms with 2 media rooms, 2 game rooms, 10 fireplaces, lots of land, a giant pool, and most importantly, 10 car garages. To me, the garages would be the most important. Here is what I would have in each of my garages.
Garage #1 - Located in garage number 1 would be a BMW M9 convertible. It will be tan with chrome rims, door handles, etc.
Garage #2 - Located in garage number 2 would be a slick orange Lamboghini with dark black rims.
Garage #3 - Located in garage number 3 would be a silver Ford F-350, extended cab with a dual flowmaster to make the houses around mine shake when I turn it on.
Garage #4 - Located in garage number 4 would be a dark silver 2010 Aston Martin V12 Vantage. It wouldn't have anything too special because its already an Aston Martin.
Garage #5 - Located in garage number 5 would be a black Bentley Continental GT convertible. It would have top of the line rims.
Garage #6 - Located in garage number 6 would be a red Porsche Carerra GT.
Garage #7 - Located in garage number 7 would be a pearly white 2006 Range Rover Sport.
Garage #8 - Located in garage number 8 would be a dark green Land Rover Discovery 3 with a big sunroof.
Garage #9 - Located in garage number 9 would be a dark black 2009 Range Rover Sport HSE with lots of upgrades.
Garage #10 - And my favorite which I would drive the most: Located in garage number 10 would be a Izmir Blue Metallic 2010 Range Rover Supercharged with dark ebony leather and ebony seats lined with Anigre Wood. I would get this baby customized to the max! Thats what I would do with my money. If I have any left over, thats tax money and gas money. And of course I would give more to churches and charities.
Let me here what you would do with your 100 million!! I am interested to see...

Sweet! You should!
Hmmmm...NO WAY
Pay off everything, sell everything and TRAVEL, TRAVEL, TRAVEL! Too much world to see and not enough time! I'd take anyone in my family with me that's willing to go.
Theres a different perspective. Thanks KCC!
Hmmmm....first I would be raped by taxes....then I would donate ten percent to charity....then I would buy a house and car for me and everyone I know and love....then I would record a CD, and save enough to live happily ever after!
Very nice! Thanks!
FIRST... My husband and I would fly to California, without telling my sons, gather the three of them at a nice dinner and hand them each a check for $1 million!!!! After celebrating with them, we would return, finish up construction on our property...expand OF COURSE!!! Buy land on a mountain top here, build a big, log cabin, with a view OF COURSE... and then travel while it's being built and buy up more properties.... Then I would visit, old faithful friends and surprise them with things they may not be able to afford... come back and surprise new friends we have made in the last 3 years, with things they could not afford....the best part.... sharing and surprising family and friends!!!! And, all those who come running, who "used to be" friends, wellllllllllllllllllllllll, we know what they would get!!!! GREAT HUB!!!!! Now, I'm heading back to FB to tell you I read it!!! :-)
Haha, great! That does sound fun to surprise everyone. I can picture that big, nice log cabin up on the hill...looks great! Thanks for the comment
It would be nice to win $100 million. I will take it that I have already paid taxes, or I could hope to win in Britain where no taxes are paid on lottery winnings or the like. :)
My first choice would to be give my wife half, living in California, she might decide to divorce me and take half. Hopefully being generous might stop such a situation.
My second choice would be to buy a house in maybe Tennessee or West Virginia. I like to visit Civil War sites and this might prove a good vacation home. I would also consider buying a home on the central California coast, near Santa Cruz or Monterey. The climate is fair and should cost only around five million dollars for the two.
I would place about $10 million in State bonds, the tax free monthly dividends would give me a decent income to live on.
So down to about $35 Million already! I would consider providing a scholarship foundation for my college. I am not sure how much that would take but I'll assume $10 million
I would put $1 million in my bank accounts to give me "silly money" to spend on frivolities.
From there I might look to create some income I have wondered about becoming a travel guide to Britain.(Being British I know some good places to visit) I could organize trips and go along sharing my knowledge,as a personal guide. A couple of million start-up could perhaps suffice.
The rest I think I would like to share in the form of being a business "angel" looking for good ideas which need backing, advice and such.
Very interesting! I am sure your wide would like that, haha! Thanks for you imput on what you would do!
Just love this HUB - how fun to think about. I would buy Kid Rock and let the rest roll out as it may?

I would give 80% of it to Christian Charities (I could list them here but there would probably be a couple hundred of them. I do know who they are right now). 10% I would spread among all the poor people I personally know. The rest I would travel around the world and continue to write. I wouldn't change my home or vehicle or furniture.
Thanks James
Money is such a divisive thing and changes folks. If one is faithful with his money and gives as he is directed by God it flows with ease from him. I would like to think that I would give the majority of it to the salvation of souls in one way or another. I dream small when it comes to my wants. I feel I am already a rich man. I have a wife that loves me and children that love me. I have two sisters that love me. I have a job and a place to live. I am saved and know the savior so what more could I want? I would like to see that real needs of my family were met. But I wouldn't want them changed by money either. My children need to know that working is good. I would hope that wisdom would prevail and giving and keeping would be by God's wisdom. Nothing is more important than the salvation of lives for Jesus. Bibles need to be bought. Missionaries need support. Things need to be done for God. I pray I never win such a thing because I am a sinner and maybe nothing I just said would be done. Maybe it would change me and my family and I would lose all of my friends who wouldn't be able to relate to me anymore. I know I am weird but it's easier not to have money than to vanquish some inner lusts. Please Lord give such a thing to someone more worthy than I.
I would take care of my family, make sure everything was secure for them, then I would become the biggest philanthropist you have ever seen.
But I would do it on a person by person level.
Thanks guys for all your opinions!!!!
Create jobs for people. :)
if i won i would help out my family and also help save animals. i would also start a home for animals that are abandoned.i would buy some land for abandoned and abused animals, as well as helping those in need, i just can,t see people leaving these animals homeless. they are human in a way to. and as for my family. my sisters and brother. both could use the help. and i could take care of my parents as well.because exspecially with the way things are in michigan wehere i,m from,plus i just think life is to short not to help those in need,
Thanks for your opinion, saving the animals is certainly a great cause
Having that kind of money suddenly fall into my lap, I would first give My Heavenly Father , His 10th and more to other Christian organizations I support. I would give some things to people I know of that could really use a helping hand, that are good, decent people and not just some drug head or drunk out wanting a hand out. I would help all of my children, and brothers with things I know they want. I buy me some good level to rolling land and build me that big white farm house with the wrap around porch I've always wanted. Buy me that car I've dreamt of having. And I'm sure I would buy things to fill that farm house. Make sure I put some of the money up to live off of or invest in something I know to be a sure thing.
Awesome!!!
YOU KNOW I WOULD HELP MYSELF FIRST!!! PUT HALF IN SAVING, CD'S, BUY A HOUSE, CAR, OPEN UP A BUISNESS (SMALL)...OF COURSE HELP MY FAMILY. AND SET UP A FAMILY BUISNESS TO HELP THE POOR!!! OH YEAH.... TRAVEL THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!
COOL!
