    What would you do with $260 million?

    So, this is a conversation I have all the time with friends. What would YOU do with that much cash?

    Personally, I would buy some nice property in some nice places- an apartment in ny, some island property, etc.. I would pay for my college, and my girlfriend's college. I would set TTP up with some incredible servers, then set it aside $100,000 (don't want us to become gamestop) for shits and giggles. I would buy an obscene amount of spray paint, and various art supplies. Pay off my parent's mortgage. And keep 3 million in the bank to live off of. I would completely avoid epic indulgences, I would live in a modest house, and work as a teacher. I wouldn't want to become a rich asshole type, I wouldn't want my life to change to much. Just a couple nice things, and not having to worry about college or the rent. I would also consider starting a non profit. The remaining money would either maintain the non-profit, or go to charity.


    I might take a really sweet around the world trip as well.

    I would set myself Up with a nice house (Nothing to big, Just a comfortable One) on some nice property.

    I'd Pay for My College, Build a Good Four-Wheeling Rig (Cause i Love Four wheeling), Donate Some Obscene Amount To TTP. I'd Also Set the Local Game store up with enough to keep them open For a good, Long while. (Cause i love that Place to death.) When My Parents get a new house, I would Pay off their Mortgage. I would also Give some to my Closest Friends. I Would get myself a Top Notch Gaming Computer. I would Donate to various Non-Profit organizations. Whatever i Didn't Spend, I would Deposit it, So i could Lead a comfortable Life no matter what.

    Have my house built, get a hennessey 1000hp camaro, and get a job thats less stressful and less physical. I couldn't just sit at home or go shopping. Then spend the rest of my days trying to see how many people i can piss off.

    Not tell anyone, wouldn't want someone I love to get kidnapped. Not to mention, you'll lose friends fairly quickly because EVERYone will think you aren't sharing enough after you give each of them a big lump sum.

    Other than that, I would make a bunch of wise investments and some hefty contributions. My goal would be to turn it into more so I can make even bigger investments and even larger contributions.

    Take about a million to pay cash for everything I need right now to retire to Belize then put the rest in conservative investments that yield enough return for me to live on the interest alone. Then take another million to start TTP Central/South America so Xav could finally have a decent ping.

    With 260 million I could make it like I were sitting on the server.

    Invest what I need to live the rest of my life (and try not to go overboard) and then give the rest away.
