Words fail me. Apart from two, 'fking' & 'Idiot'.....

Just how much



and hookers would you need before you'd got just a little bored?

Or you could have a fantastic house, a collection of uber-cars, fine watches, kids at great schools and holidaying at beautiful locations? You would, wouldn't you?

What an arse, £9.7 million has got to be at an absolute minimum £291,000 a year after tax to live on. Who can't deal with that?

[TheCarpetCleaner]

Well I suppose one good thing is that the money found its way back into the economy in a relatively short time...

[Westy Pre-Lit]

Only thing that bothers me is that the tax payer now has to pay this pond life £42 a week dole.

[Phil Dicky]

[Lost soul]

I wonder what his family did with the 5mil he gave to them

Ah you forgot to take into account inflation.

Interest at 3% PA and inflation at 2.5% gives you a return of 45k pa.

Still not bad but not as much as you would think.

They came across as sensible, maybe they're holding on to some of it until he grows up? They're going to be waiting a long time

I wonder what happened to his first party house he was run out of. Does he still own it, if not who does?

[The Hypno-Toad]

2000 hookers??? Where the hell did he find that amount?

I wouldn't worry about the £42 a week that we have to pay him. I'm guessing he'll end up found dead very soon. Drugs or he'll get into a fight he can't get out of.

I bet 'cash for gold' couldn't believe their luck when that barrow load of tat arrived in the post!

He might be an idiot but this is his one saving grace.

The gardens were turned into a dirt track where he and pals would race old cars in between lads' holidays

Field racing old motors is a great sport I just wish I had a field again.

So long as the field is not right next to someone's house, i totally agree!

thats if you don't touch the capital amount, but if you stuck in a bond you'd be pretty darn sure to make more than £45k from 10mil- a150k rental property will make you £7k/yr easy- with a bit of tax work you'd clear £400k/yr on a long term appreciating asset.

They are lucky to get together in the first place

It wasn't HIS money, it's the money of all the poor sods who thought they could win it!
