I am kinda sad two people won the $636 million mega millions jackpot last night. I wanted to see it reach a billion dollars. Hope the winners don't have their lives ruined.
Rule#1 get a fucking financial adviser and LISTEN TO THEM
my first thought was "if you have 600 mil what on earth do you need a financial advisor for? Do you need to make more money?"
but i suppose with that amount of cash it' be useful to take advice on where to divide it up just for storage
i wouldnt want that sum sitting in one bank account

I wouldn't even know what to spend one million on.
Maybe some socks. I need new socks.
typically its shit like
a)drugs
b)tons of all expense paid vacations for you and friends
c)tons of cars that are all pimped out
d)large houses
those kill lottery winnings fast especially property taxes that people dont figure out when buying a house

Well it's $636 million divided by two winners.
Also it's not just handling the money think of every single person they've ever known suddenly coming at them for a piece. Scammers and bad people and bad family all setting their eyes on them. It's a big bunch of stress and dram and tragedy and while it is a dilemma lots of people want to be in it isn't one many are prepared for.
Frankly I wouldn't even know what to do outside disappearing forever.

that and getting things set up like trust funds for you kids security and stuff like that, people forget that.
When you win that much you can invest it correctly and just live off the interest and your family will be set for generations I bet.

you could spend one million pretty easily
nice house, nice car, bam there’s a million dollars spent
600 mil though? that's take the piss money for an individual, you couldn’t meaningfully* spend that much money
*you could get rid of it if you lived like a saudi prince but thats just golden toilets, pouring $2000 champagne on the floor type tomfoolery

in the US its going to end up like 150m after you split it 2 ways and all the bullshit tax you pay on lottery winnings in the US.

Yeah, I'd have to work to spend 600 million dollars.
Socks joke aside: I'd pay off my debts, buy a decent apartment, I'd spend a month splurging on computer hardware... and then what? I'd help my immediate family with their debts too, I suppose.
I could live comfortably off of just the interest alone. I'd definitely talk to financial advisors.
i'd be pretty hard to scam if i won that much money
for the simple reason i wouldnt be interested in making more
whats that you have a great investment oppertunity for me? sorry not interested
i'd buy a nice house, do the same for my immediate family, stick the rest in bank accounts and live off the interest
then i'd spend the rest of my life being fat and happy

My familial unit and circle of friends is small enough that if someone came asking me for money, I'd have no qualms in telling them exactly what I thought about them.

Yeah, I'm just not interested in a life of what media, culture and society tells me is "luxure". I'd by an apartment I'd consider great, but it would still be pretty modest, all things considered. Why buy something bigger just because I can? Do I look like an American?

Also kind of funny that I keep writing "apartment". The housing situation in Stockholm is pretty crappy - if I wanted a nice house I'd have to move pretty far away from central Stockholm.
my parents and my sister wouldn't backstab me over money
and i'd gladly share it with them and they'd do the same for me
none of them are the poisionious kind of family memeber that racks up debt and makes terrible decisions with money, really they'd just pay off their mortgages with it

probably something normal ish but just amazingly well decked out on the inside

you say this now
no im pretty confident i know myself
160 million is more money than i can spend in a life time, im just not the sort of person who is amused by trinkets and things i can't even spend the money i have now
i'd just like to be comfortable, well fed, maybe go out and see some more of the world
i don't fancy the playboy lifestyle, i simply dont have that kind of personality
The way I see it, you can't really plan ahead how you and/or your friends/family will react when the big money pours in.
I've read way too many stories about normal folk going bonkers when it happened.
What media portrays as "luxury" doesn't interest me in the slightest.

Wouldn't 600 mil buy you enough army to take over a few diamond mines and/or a small African country? Now there's an investment opportunity.
For real though, I like to think I'd spend most of that kind of money setting myself up to never have to work again. Pay off my small debt, help my parents pay off their mortgage which I don't think is that big, and then invest most of the money in something really stable and boring and live off that.

That amount of money is so ridiculously life changing that I don't think anyone can accurately predict what they would do with it and what sort of effect it would have on their life.
My only prediction re:people asking for money is that I'm sure that amount of money wouldn't make me more empathetic.

I feel like people who talk about what they would do with 160 million dollars is in the same territory as people who talk about what they would do if a dude with a gun walked into their classroom/school/whatever - it is very easy to come up with grand plans and claims to cool-headedness etc etc
but the reality of that situation actually happening is a very different beast indeed

if i had 160 mil and one of my friends asked me for 50k "i'd be like sure whatever here you go"
cause it'd be like giving them a fiver would be to me right now, it'd be meaningless pocket change

Also I would pay someone quite well to assemble and prime all my Warmachine shit
oh and a ballin PC from Falcon Northwest
600 million dollars is almost four billion Swedebucks.
Wikipedia lists 16 Swedish billionaires.

also skylights everywhere

with 160 million i can afford pretty much anything an individual can ever expect to buy
like right now i have enough disposable cash to buy any PC bits games, airsoft stuff blah blah that i want, so i dont want any of it
i only want things i cant currently have like a nice flat or a new car
like just do something totally absurd well or some stupidly high resolution Occulus Rift at least 1440p
