I'd also start a private equity partnership. Some of those Hostess factories have to be worth something. I could buy them in a fire sale using mostly debt, revitalize them, and then sell at 10X my money in a few years.

i'd probably "donate" a large amount of money to Havard and Oxford. then i'd apply for both schools for a program of some kind (in which case i'd get accepted off the strength of my donations :scheme:) study at both and get degrees from both.

Oxford admissions aren't as holistic as American schools, so I'm not sure this method would work for them, but if you're rich, you could use your money to achieve something that would tilt Harvard in your direction as opposed to just buying a slot, like founding an online startup or a nonprofit.

True enough, I'd find out how long the winner would have to claim his/her winnings, let the hype die down, opt out of the public display and claim the purse under the radar.

Nothing worst than "family and friends" hitting you outta nowhere.

With my low-key nature, I would travel extensively.

The Bushes
Cuts ties with everyone I know and love so I can travel for a few years. Pay off all my debts. Leave a few milli for my immediate family, they'll get the rest if dont come back in X amount of years. Toss a couple grand at some random nobody. Travel to every corner of the globe. Learn a few languages along the way. Never stay more than 6 months in any region. Never spend more than $1000 a month. Party, drink, mediate, draw, learn, love, goon, experience.....Come back home on some random day during some random get together, a man who has seen everything Mother Earth has to offer:to: Write a book (s), make more money. Dump the rest of my money on the fam. Get that foreign girl I promised to return to pregnant. Wait to die :yeshrug:

This all I wanna do:yeshrug:
