Buy large estate properties around the world, a Jet with intercontinental range, and a host of motor cars placed at each estate.

Give every wounded veteran a great place to live and supreme medical care for themselves and family for life.

For myself I would buy some horses and enough acreage to treat them properly. I've always wanted horses.

For others try to make sure people in the US are not hungry, especially children, this really bothers me. Also help our animal shelters.

Keep quiet about it and invest all of it. 80% into an S&P500 mutual fund. The remaining 20% into monthly dividend paying ETFs to give me a monthly income.

6-12 months down the road I quit my job and likely move from the winter wasteland that ND is for several months a year to someplace warmer.


I'm a deplorable.

Buy a nice house in a temperate, dry, climate where I would be surrounded by conservatives. (We'll do that anyway) Spoil my better half. She deserves it cuz she's worked her ass of getting us to where we're at. Set up a trust fund for the son, daughter, and grand kids. Plenty of strings would be attached to the fund. I don't want any poor little rich kids.

Musk kind of bankroll?
Build world class children’s hospitals/ medical research facilities.
Hand out professional sports tickets to poor families with kids who would otherwise never be able to afford them.
Get athletes/celebrities to spend time at said hospitals handing out video games. Could you imagine Lebron James, Patrick Kane, and Aaron judge walking in a playroom handing out video games or Taylor Swift having a makeover with a bunch of girls.
Figure a way to stop the public school system from continuing to fail children.
Get together with CPD SIG and help him shake trees that need shaking.
Spend more time with the wife.
Quite a few family/friends mortgages paid.
Quality educations for all the kids in the family.
Landing strip at every range I own.
Woodworking shop so I could build entire bedroom sets for family/friends.
Maybe an Omega or Grand Seiko.

For selfish I'd say maybe a vacation home. Unselfish is easy, we volunteer at a dog rescue on weekends. I'd retire and care for the dogs fulltime. I'd also set up investments that provide them with a perpetual revenue stream.

Several years ago an actual winner from NE VA of about $250 million was asked a similar question. He replied that he’d had a friend who recently passed away, and there wasn’t enough money for a tombstone. That was the only purchase that came to mind.

I think that money found the right guy.

Crazy insane effin money? Spend it ALL in ways to make life miserable for all the effin libtards in WA state, enough so that they'll throw up their weaselly hands and choose to seek permanent refuge anywhere but here. Selfish AND benevolent at the same time, well at least for a specific group of like-minded people. Two birds, one big expensive stone...well worth it to me.

Well okay, Frown that's not really possible. There's simply not enough money on the PLANET to dislodge all of these liberal cretins. So back to something more akin to reality...how about a lifetime supply of mandarin sumo oranges as my selfish "buy". These delectable things are TOUGH to find this season.

As for the benevolent act(s)...well the 2AF could always use a boost, and there ARE arenas of medical research that are always in need of funds. I wouldn't mind seeing advancements in stem cell treatment that wind up bringing the costs WAY down for those who could truly benefit from it.

Just realized Elon has kinda been showing what to do with “eff you” money. (I’ve see. This mentioned on various TV clips, just didn’t hit me that this is Elon f-g around/the backlash from Kamala’s intention to steal every tech bros’ toys.)

A) Buy the largest network on Earth, more or less.

B) Use that, and your money, to leverage yourself into a reform position in the government, which you had the POTUS create for you.

C) Probably, use that network to destroy revanchist opponents….

Selfish; I would hire my own little army of mercenaries to protect Elephants and Rhinos.


Unselfish: In addition to their salaries I am already paying for, I would pay the Mercenaries say a 10K bounty for every poacher they kill.

I think I would give most of it away to those who needed it more. I am fortunate and thankful to God, where I am now in life.
