I hope if Pio won $50 million he'd buy be able to buy fresh foie gras.

Well I would have said in Mayfair or Belgravia, but my entire life savings would be poured into it in a few years.

The other alternative would be to buy $45 million worth of MegaMillions tickets when it reaches about $300 million or some other insanely high number.

I'll happily flip it back to you for a meager 30% markup (and that sweet DB9*)



* add a couple of bags of premium high-density, non-displacement gravel for my buddy Douggie and we've got a deal

So no one is in for that epic helicopter fight? I am shocked by your lack of ambition. No wonder society is on a free fall. I will compromise and deal w. RJ so the helicopters are decorated by H&K, no drape though.

It's $50M, not $50B.

OK so maybe he won't be able to get all these watches. But he can still have the airport, right?

Brilliant! Of course, your odds would be only like 1/4. Would you be better off playing a $45 million hand of blackjack?

$50M would give me a lot of nice stuff, more opportunities, but a lot of this sounds tiring like having apartments all over the world or climbing Everest and ****. If I were to just go nuts
  1. 1 week stay on International Space Station - $25M
  2. My own biotech research lab (cloning myself for organs) - $25M
  3. ^^ Profit!
With $50B, I would build my own lunar base and live there. Kidnap Hollywood actresses and make them act out the script I wrote. Have NASA deliver me a pizza.

The proposition was $50M lump sum after taxes. A $300M lottery would give you around $150M lump. Fed/state tax might push 50% on that so you're looking at $75M.. You would get some mad Reward Points on your credit card though.

I wouldnt give the money away to anyone since there are taxes to do so.
-Buy a nice well built small home, if I cant keep clean it well over the course of a Sunday then its too big.
-set up funds for my child and the children of family and close friends.
-take my mother to one of those Lambo courses.
-find some meaningful cause to pour myself into without having to worry about paying the bills.
-buy a really really nice bathrobe to mope around my home for 5 days straight when my depression hits.
-finally be alone
