Ok So you win the £85 million this weekend.


What would be the 1st thing you bought?

Being on here, I was hoping for cars but feel free to put other big toys down as well.

Out to a local bmw dealership the next day, buy an M6 (if they have one in stock). Then off to a local estate agent, buy a nice apartment. Straight off to a decent tailor, get a nice suit made.

Thats just as a stop gap while I get everything else I would do sorted in my head. Take a few weeks to think things over and decide the best way to invest, spend and ultimately enjoy my new found wealth.

An Island.

(Thinking this one will be for sale at less than £85,000,000 before the end of the year)

Well to start with i would have to buy:
Ferrari Enzo
Ferrari 458
Ferrari F40
Ferrari F50
BMW 635 CSI Highline
Original Mini Cooper
Jag E Type.
I would then buy a house or 3 and look into investing the rest.
Oh will probably buy a handful or Micra's too and burn them!

Some good responses so far.

I think the 1st thing I would do would be to organise a party! get all my closest friends and family together and have a celebration on me! Then off to the dealerships in the morning!

£85mill could get you a LOT of metal without having to worry too hard about how much you are spending.

I think most of mine would be older cars and less new cars.

With that much you could give your best 20 mates £100k each and still not feel it!

I think I'd have a GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo. I'm not a huge Ferrari fan but hey, they would start the collection off nicely biggrin

I've always thought, instead of actually giving money to my friends, give them something they can work with to acheive.

Eg one of my friends wants to be a sparky, pay for his college training, or buy him equipment.

The problem is, it's going to a be a little while before you get your hands on the money, so I doubt the first thing you'd buy would be a £100k car unless you've got a few credit cards hanging around.

The first thing I'd buy would probably be a case of champagne from Costco. How dull hehe

Buy an island, populate it with nubile wenches and have them service me sexually all day everyday.

Transport to The Democratic Kingdom of Bonerland would be by Riva Aquarama of course.

Paupers would be shot on sight and fed to my collection of exotic carnivorous plants.

So in this case roughly how long would it take to get the money?
Why am i thinking Brewsters Millions??
