$10,000,000. Hm. Let's see here. Invest $7,000,000. And then spend $300,000 on a home, $120,000 on a car, and then the rest of the $2,580,000 I would use for various stupid stuff because I could not determine what else to spend it on.

I'd end up chucking most of it into savings accounts (multiple accounts, since each account is federally insured only up to $100,000, iirc), and then just spending it over time. Hopefully the interest would sustain me.

i would invest 1/3 of that 10 mil

then donate the earnings to help out alot of homeless ppl who want to work but cant find a job

i would like to help with some disease research too but meh, world pop is too big already...

maybe ill invest in some more advanced hydrogen PEM fuel cell research to make it better

then spend the rest with my wife or gf if ill have one in the future
but i dont have a kid

yeah H2 for my spouse and Porsche 911 Targa for me
also a BMW 760i and a LandRover RangeRover


it always goes back to cars eh?

I'm not sure how far that research would get you - GM alone has spent several hundred million. Man, I tell you, they must be expecting one big return to put that much into it!!!

Heck ya to building a super computer. In fact, if someone gives me 10 million dollars, I'll give the parts to all regular posters to build their own .
