What would you do if you won 26 million dollars

Make a farming commune on the biggest acres I could find and let hard workers build their own homes and barter for what they make/ grow. Probably try my hand at fixing some whiskey. 🤷🏾‍♀️

buy my dad a new house, pay off all my sister’s loans, buy myself a house, donate to charities for impoverished countries, also it’s my dream to open shelters for homeless people that have therapists and help with rehabilitation so i would make several of those some for just women and coed ones :)

Spend it on tinned food and hide in a bunker for the rest of my life

Retire my parents. Buy another house, boat, car, go on vacation and then put the rest in stocks.

help my children and then enjoy life without reservations.

I'd give my kids the best education I could, set them up with their first home when they move out.

I'd get Will Smith to come and sing Wild Wild West to me in person at my house. I don't like the song, I just think it would be an experience.

I would also stash a serious chunk of it away as a fund for my husband and I, once the kids leave home, to stock a fancy yacht up with loads of drugs and expensive wine and then get fucked up all over the world. Possibly die at sea but it would be worth it.

I don't know what I would do. Of course if I did happen on that kind of cash, one thing is I would buy IIN gold for everyone on here for a couple years. Even the real dip shits.
I guess I would pretty quickly figure out some way to have fun.

I know what my pesky neighbors would do with 26 mil - they would buy a farm where they could hoard 100's of animals and have their dogs barking, birds squawking, cats hissing, flying insect farms buzzing, cows moo'ing, and just deafening animal noises going 24/7. They would collect the loudest mammals on the planet so they could bask in the sheer loudness.

Create a zombie virus. Corona has been super disappointing and I dunno what I'm supposed to do with all these canned beans I was gonna trade for guns and ammo.

Look for a really good tax attorney, accountant and answering service!

I am reluctant to admit this, but my net worth of $1.7M is down to $1.3M at these depressed Covid-19 market prices. If I won an additional $26M, I would be very mindful that you have to get rich only once. At this point, wealth preservation would be the priority. So, I would become a bond trader. Diversification into hardwood timberland, or prime commercial real estate would also be a consideration. Tax sheltering investment under an international trust would also make sense.

Just for fun, I'd buy an antique motorcycle, and probably a small inexpensive crash pad condo in a high rise near the beach in Florida. I like flying under the radar.

invest in stocks

Cure corona virus

Apart from not having financial security and having to work and living in a country with shit weather, my life is pretty much luxurious now already. I can afford nearly all the entertainment I want. So there wouldn't be much to spend it on. I'd retire obviously. I'd move somewhere warm, but not too hot, like Spain or France or somewhere (after the coronavirus has gone obviously). I don't care about any expensive materialistic shit so I wouldn't buy any designer clothes or jewellery or sports cars or any of that rubbish. I wouldn't buy a mansion, I'd buy a moderately sized apartment in the city instead. I'd say I'd then just invest the money and just live off the profits.

There are some things I would like that I can't afford now, like regular psychiatric meetings, massages, and escorts. But probably 95% of anything I could ever want I can afford right now (or after a little saving anyway).

And then the only other significant thing I might do with that much money is to set up an arcade/skatepark. That'd be cool. I'm not really too fussed about that though.

Invest in some of my business ideas... Transport, city services, real estate, possibly build a Balkan club in Germany, buy the rest of my dream cars, buy a boat, put the rest in the bank and anything I make from my businesses - donate for science.

Buy a hundred acres of woods and put a house in the middle of it. Then I'd help the local shelters.

invest it in the stock market and turn it into $600

But I’d be blessed for $26.00 right now

Lots of high class hookers for the first two months.

I'd help where I could with the health care workers as well as help out others being affected by the virus. I'd also donate a huge chunk to my local animal shelter. And of course I would keep a large chunk for myself and decide what to do with it as needs arise. To spend it all at once would be foolish. Oh, and some updates around the house.
Afterthought: I'd like to develop a stage play based on my published children's poetry.
Donate a large chunk to FFRF (Freedom From Religion Foundation) so they can fight the idiot leaders in Texas who poison the kids in classrooms teaching them that the Bible is literally true and discourage critical thinking and free thought.

Leggs.
I'm not getting the rhyms?
only come here when drunk sometimes.
I'm not poetic and die at crosswords.
Sometimes I'm just wirerd backwards.
I noticed you answered near every poster.
Makes me wonder if you were the O.P.
hoster?

I'd pay off my mortgage, give my house away, then move as far away as possible. I'd start a new life in another place.

Bet it on a single throw of roulette

Go to school. Travel the coast. Buy a lighthouse build a bunker underneath it and set up to be self sufficient. The rest I would invest and save.

Oh sjit forgot all ths surgeries I would get.

I would fund and start “Ranodon’s Countryside Mansion” in Bulgaria.

If I were the poster.
I'd learn to spell.
If I won that sort of money.
There are places where you can stil disappear.
My roots are pretty simple.
I only do what I do now because I have to.
