As I'm moving within the next week or two I'd spend some money on furniture... then I need a new drum kit as the one I've got now doesn't really have the right sound for the music my new band is playing. I'd then put the rest in the bank or invest them (for a student like me they would make a nice reserve).

Edit: oh, and a few presents for my parents should be within the budget too :D

Id buy a shovel company and bury the money. Then I would go public and announce that I buried it. Chaos reborn :)

I'd go on with life as usual. That amount would be enough to pay for a whole month of gas!

First, I would buy a sh*t load of kick ass guitars (like a jackson rhoads, dean dimebag etc...) a big ass marshall amp (or 2) stuff like that. And save the rest i guess. O and give it to some charaties (sp?) of coarse. AND FOOD! LOTS OF PORK FRIED RICE MMMMM:D

yacht, motorboat, maybe a plane, Bugatti Veyron, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Audi A8, VW Toureg W10, Aston Martin DB9 and a Maserati MC12. That should cover some of my money then I would buy a nice house in England and invest the rest.

I like your idea, 10 million to charities in England will then get me a Lordship....

I'd buy a plane, probably a Hurricane, surely they aren't going to be in excess of 100 million USD, so then yea, I'd buy a nice country home and make my own airstrip :D I'd also have to buy the best VW Camper (pre-1969) EVER!! :D

Ah... well... we're just amateurs and haven't made any recordings yet... I made some demos with an old band some years ago where we had a wonderful lead singer... oh man she had a beautiful voice... I tried to convince her to find someone better than us to play with, as she really has potential...

Well i appluad you for doing that.

anyways back on topic.

1) dedicate as much money is needed to this game, and maybe more to take it to the next step (if one exsists)

2) Buy 100,000 acre hunting ranches in texas and africa. I have a dream of creating an upper class hunting club, extremo exclusive. called "St. Georges"

3) buy up my entire street, and the ones to the left and right of where I live, and build a giant compound.

4) get a schweet ride

5) donate to help find a cure for cancer.

Well.. First I would buy Albert Einstein's brain just so I can say to everyone on the street "Hey Moron, I own Albert Einstein's brain"

Second, I would buy everyone in my city their choice of a crouton

Third, I would buy a trebuche and several nice cars, host a car event, and then fling the nice cars and watch them get destroyed whilist pissing the car enthusiasts off

Fourth, maybe some more pratical things like a house, a car, and some personal things

Fifth, charities

Sixth, I would get a Sherman Tank, Tiger Tank, T34 Tank, Cromwell Tank, an assortment of WW2 vehicles, and an assortment of WW2 weapons.

Seventh, I would get several willing but suicidal assistants to help me reenact famous battles

and last but not least, a couple of flak jackets for protection during those reenactments.

First I'd get myself a huge house in my own country, one in Cyprus, one somewhere in Asia and maybe one in the States. :)

Accordingly I'd buy a red-black Bugatti Veyron EB16.4, desert-camo M998A2 HMMWV, orange Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT2, orange Pagani Zonda GT, Audi Auto-Union Rosemeyer concept car, Cadillac Sixteen concept car, a blue 1927 Bugatti Type 35 "Tank", a deep-purple/gray Auburn Speedster, a 1938 red-black Deusenberg J-Kompressor and a white 1938 Mercedes-Benz 540K Sechs-kompressor.

I also want an original Douglas C-47 Skytrain, a Republic P-51D Mustang and an Airbus A380 with arcade hall (with topnotch computers), a swimming pool, cafetaria, restaurant and a large crew... :)


Did I mention my own boat with two quad-Turbo-supercharged Rolls-Royce Merlin Mk. XXIV engines? (That would make 8 turbo-superchargers... :D)
And I would buy alot of stocks to invest money in for charity. (From that money I would buy material stuff, I won't give the money straight to charities otherwise it can and will be abused.) :)

Eh he could always use cheats:rolleyes:

And save... oh shit, you can't save in real life :eek:


Anyways...

1. I would buy about 10 über gaming computers (with watercooling of course) for me and my friends and construct a place where we could play on lan. + a 1Gbs fiber line.

2. I would hire a maid to clean our (my family's) house and maybe a cook too.

3. Now that I have hired a maid and a cook the house feels too small so I would have to build a bigger one.

4. A swimming pool on our front yard.

5. A server farm for my movies and music.

6. A laptop of some sort so I could access my server farm everywhere. Some kind of a hand held device would be nice.

7. Something nice for my gf. ;)

8. I would save about 50 million $. Let's see... 50 000 000 x 0.03 = 1 500 000 $. I wouldn't have to work ever.

9. Buy some _real_ airsoft guns for me and my friends and some proper equipment. It's not fun to play against them when I have a TM G36c when they have some walmart spring pistols.

10. Something nice for my family. Maybe.
