if you won the euro millions what would your do??
Discussion
This is a continuation from the other thread but is one I and several friends have played on car journeys and bored weekends.
With this life changing amount of money and possible fame and attention that could come with it what would you all do??
apart from the house and garage we devised personal what we thought was a good plan.
So you tell all your friends and close family that you have won for example £50 million and then you say that from this day you will employee all of them, give them 100k a year job but only on grounds that they dont tell anyone that you have one the lottery on penalty of being fired and loosing all of it.
But what would you do? buy a small island, fleet of cars or become very very eccentric

Id carry on as normal as possible. I know i wouldnt strugle quite as much having all that money stashed away. But I wouldnt make a point of throwing it in peoples faces, it would just end in loosing all my current friends. Making some fake one's who just wanted a cut of the money and as soon as it was all gone id have noone.
I wouldn't even consider employing Family/friends!
What do you do when they don't perform how you want them to?
Can you imagine having to discipline/sack one of them?
It would be far easier to give them a sum of money and not tell them how much you've won.
I also think that it may be easier to donate a large amount to your favourite charity, or even creating one yourself.

Go on a year long holiday and work out what i am going to do with my millions. (after giving the old man a million to divvy' up between friends and family to "tide" them over.....)
but i would....
Build some houses, (secret passage ways and rooms obligatory)
learn to fly,
build/restore some cars,
have loads of children,
do some racing driving,
read a lot,
have a stupidly impressive watch/clock and gun collection.

I wouldnt give any of the money to friends and family... the Gov take most of that away through inheritance tax... but them houses and cars for them to do as they wish with it... 
Take some of my closest chums to some of the countries I'd most like to visit.
When the novelty of being filthy rich wears off I'd probably just volunteer to some charities ect... or maybe open up a small business for myself or something, just to keep me sane.

First and foremost, i'd bugger off to the isle of man, find a nice house, thats private but with lots of land so i could build a garage complex to house my cars. Then, i would enjoy life to the fullest
/\ This man speaks truth! I'd pay off the mortgages of friends and family which would leave them in the position of still having to work but making their paychecks go further. Then I'd buy an M3 CSL, Macca F1, DBS and a Harris Magnum IV then spend my time enjoying about 45 million other things. What's the quote about not having too much money, just too little imagination?

How will your friends explain that to their family?"Hi Fred, still doing maintenance at the bus depot? "
"Not any more Bill, I've got a new job dicking around in a millionaire's house. I'm head of the colour sorting M&Ms and Skittles department. Now excuse me, if he finds any green ones he'll sack me"
"Hi Craig, found a job yet?"
"Yes, Bill. A millionaire is paying me to comb his overgrown lawns with a rake"
"Hi Doris, haven't seen you serving at Greggs recently"
"I got a new job, Bill. A millionaire pays me £100k to spend all day on eBay in case someone lists a brand new in box 1980s Qualcast Concorde lawn mower"
"Dave, are you paying our friends huge amounts of money to do pointless jobs?"
"Yes I am, Bill"
"Why didn't you offer me a job? Is it because I left your lawnmower outside overnight and it got stolen THIRTY YEARS AGO?"
"YES IT IS f

Whats this nonsense about giving 'friends' money?. Usually ends in tears. They might not even like you really.......What do you do when they don't perform how you want them to?
