Winning the 1.4B Powerball

[CAMELPRO]

If we're sticking to strictly T4Rs, I'd like to have a 5th gen SAS with a supercharged 5.7L and a drivetrain that would hold up to it. :eyebrows:

 

[Blue15]

The rest would just put in investments....

You don't need investments, even after the 40% tax off the top you are a milti millionaire. Investments loose money. In the bank and your set forever.

Couple safes full of gold, silver and guns is all the extra i would need.

Again wouldn't hurt. Nothing too risky, but to increase revenue isn't a bad thing. Again your biggest thing is going to be dealing with taxes which is why you would need some investments to fight that off
One hypothetical portfolio involve investing 40 percent of the money in municipal bonds, where returns would be free of federal — and in some cases state and local taxes. Another 30 percent could be invested in dividend paying stocks from high-quality companies; 15 percent could be invested in real estate, including commercial real estate and rental properties; 10 percent could be invested in alternative markets such as gold and other commodities; and 5 percent could be held in cash.


Oh but I would also buy an Earthroamer.

buy a WWII German Prosche Tiger, a lot full of brand new prius', and a 30 rack of coors original. Then let the demolition derby begin. Payback for all the times they cut me off in traffic on the 405. For heavens sake they call it a 3.slow for a reason!:flame:

Pretty much one of the most awesome machines to ever be engineered.

Then maybe I'll get a modest house with a lift in the 10 car garage or outbuilding

Edit - got in on the office pool - 100 tickets and counting

I would sell it and import a Landcruiser Troopy from Australia. Those things are awesome!

Man Australia gets all the good trucks.

Over-landing is embedded people genes in Australia!

4runner just does not even compare to this thing.

Get one from the north african market instead, so you get it in LHD

Central America, LHD no ocean to cross.

all gone

Wonder how long I could last on just Hookers and cocaine.

 

[Knight-Errant]

I'd assemble the greatest scientists and engineers and create a 4runner that morphs into a battle mech when I want it to. I'd spend the rest of my days exploring the world, delivering aid and relief to those in need (dig wells in Africa, deliver food, medical aid, etc.), and crush the enemies of liberty and democracy when my exploring took me to those areas.

Essentially I'd be a knight errant P

Edit: I'd contact the gobi rack people and have them create a rack (it would probably go on top of the missile pods) and ladder for the mech.....and if I act now they'll throw in free shipping for the rack and ladder, and also toss in a free a wind deflector for the mech ;o)

 

[NinjaOne]

After paying off my debts and the rest of the way through college I'd get one (or more? :fish2: ) of these

Nah, who am I kidding. I'd start with they toys

 

[Ezlife45]

I would buy a 4WD to park next to my 2WD.

 

[CookieRoe]

I quite disappointed no one has mentioned hookers. Lots of them.

But seriously, I would get my 4th gen completely restored and back into showroom condition and find someone who can stuff a Toyota 5.7 V8 in it. Then I wouldn't need the hookers......... i mean.........."cough"........... V8!!!!!

 

[A.Wilson013]

I'd buy a big ranch out in Montana with a helipad for my new AS365 N3+, and a landing strip large enough to land my new Honda HA-420. Until I learned how to fly these two beasts, I'd have someone else live with me and fly me around, teaching me.

I'd also buy a small piece of land near the closest town so I could fly in for groceries if needed.

 

[Ol'Blue]

Hell yea Blue! Right after I write a $10 million dollar check to the Wounded Warrior Project!

That is who I would give most of it too man. Thank you for thinking about us...

4 posts above yours.

$10,000,000 to WWP Literally = $20,000 to vets. But the fact you care about vets, makes you top notch in my book. Just watch for the people using vets to become millionaires like WWP.

I didn't know it was that bad? So which would be a good place to give to vets.....sorry for a complete tangent?

 

[alaskaman]

ok, ok, ok.

After the Ferrari is in the hangar and the 4Runner is detailed here is the next one.


Oh and by the way, 890M will yield about 100M a year that I can donate to the people who need it without touching the principal. That's at 10% boys and girls.

It's way worse than I make out, but I did not want to turn this thread from "I'm a billionaire" to "I made someone else a billionaire".
Google "Wounder Warrior Scam" and read any of the dozens of articles uncovering what they do.

There are places that do a lot for vets like
ASYMCA

CKFF

Both the above have been investigated and awarded high ranks by Charity Watch.

Don't forget about The Fisher House Foundation. They provide an incredible service to the families of wounded veterans.

You could pay Harrison Ford to fly over from his place in Wyoming to teach you to fly the helicopter. My former co-workers niece taught Harrison to be a heli pilot and I have seen some cool photos of them during training.

Neat thread.

For my own fantasy it would be similar to a few others. After changing my cell phone number I would order my two Nissan GTR's. There are two GTR's in my neighborhood so I have wanted one for a while. One GTR would be left stock and the other would be sent to Hennessey Performance in Houston for the HPE800 Upgrade. Then I would find a large parcel of land that I could drive off-road vehicles on and ride mountain bikes. Also a paved track for some road car and motorcycle fun. Helping people in need would be good as well. After the new place is ready to go I would give my home away to a worthy family.
