List and pics!

And how would you invest? Live off the interest or something else?

Sod all.

£12m to family n stuff, £100m in the bank. Even at 2% interest that's £2m/yr, or £5500/day, you'd struggle to spend that. I'd travel around the world renting everything. Even if you did somehow manage to spend £5500 every single day you'd still wouldn't lose money.
But you're only protected for £75k of that £100m. So you would need just shy of 2000 banks to be safe. You can bet some significant number of those 2000 would go bankrupt, you would lose 70k each time.

I'd get out of England as fast as I could (buy private jet of course) but not sure where in the world I could escape much of what I see, smell & hear that has ruined the land of my birth.
Find some sun, buy nice house & noisy open sports car & find useful & interesting stuff to do for myself & for others. Savour love & friendship & avoid laziness indulgence & pre-occupation with self.
I think similar, Tuscany looks appealing.

I wouldn't mind a big car collection BUT insurance, tax, MOT etc for 10+ cars would be an annoyance, as well as insurance premiums!

I agree money is a tool, life is about experiences, but money opens doors to those experiences, no?
