How do you spend £143 Million?
Discussion
Ive just bought a ticket for the Euromillions and have killed a few minutes wondering about what would actually happen if I won
(Coke, hookers and waste the rest gags assumed)
Im a regular bloke with a young family
I could probably get away with a classic 911 without raising eyebrows
A house move across town and a fleet of new hypercars would generate more questions than I would care for
The main thing for me is the kids
The thought of bringing up little princes horrifies me, as would the suggestion of having to get in security when the inevitable happens
A constant in the 'real estate prawn" thread is that most ££££££ gaffs have "staff quarters" presumably for the hired muscle??
If I was single = easy peasy:
Several homes around the world with a selection of hot metal garaged in each
Id almost certainly follow a full GP season too just for fun
At this stage in my life Im seriously thinking a tenth of 143 Mill would be better
Id go part time and quietly slope off on early retirement with none of the concerns for my family and their security
A completely hypothetical post I admit, if anyone actually knows what happens to the big lottery winners Im curious
Cheers
Hello everybody - me again
Well thanks for the response, many great ideas which Ive been dwelling on just in case
I still have concerns about the kids but have decided on the following path:
Wedge of cash to family - although curious regarding the most tax efficient way to do this
Buy a SInger and pass it off as an auction house classic
As I love skiing and cycling a BFO gaff in the Alps is a given with a garage to suit
A 10 mill "lock up" apartment with secure parking for something tasty in London for anonymity
Similar place in Paris too
Go part time at work and progressively take the p1ss for 6 months to a year before slowly fading away into early retirement with a cover story about getting into day trading
Stay in our current gaff but gradually acquire a decent portfolio of weekend and/or holiday places some of which Id rent out and others Id save for friends and family
The family snotter is my biggest stress
In the short term it needs to carry the 4 of us plus dog around town and to the Alps
The dog probably rules out an AMG S63 so a 3y old Full Fat RR would tick the stealth box
(After I drop off the grid in a few years time its an S600 Pullman and a supercharged L405 for the snow)
In a few years my youngest leaves home then it gets interesting.......
