What would you do, that is specific to you if you had 10 million US dollars OR MORE. AS IN "FU MONEY” (seems people keep missing this part. nobody cares about your boring investments LOL). Basically, if you were rich enough that you were set for life. What is the one (or several) things that would change in your life?

For me, I would hire a full time chef and a part-time personal trainer. So much about staying in shape is left up to willpower and willpower without some kind of accountability usually doesn’t go far. By hiring a chef, I would get delicious, good tasting HEALTHY meals all the time. WIth a personal trainer, I would have someone that gets paid to show up to my house, slap the donut out of my hand, and make me work out. Of course, I could do this without money (and I am) but it’s a thousand times easier to do it with money. The fact that there are fat rich people is damn shame.What a waste of money.

You can keep the lamborginis and islands. THIS is what I would do with my riches.

[Jeff Spicoli]

Buy some houses, rent them and live with the rents.

 

[AJUMP23]

I would travel more, work less. Carry no debt, buy some rental properties.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Must be some insanely good deal on those houses if you ever were to expect to recover purchase price with rent in a decade.

10 milions are not nearly enough to dream big.

Gimme 100 billions and we can talk about it.

Buy a Gunboat 55 Cruiser, travel around the world and hef deorti seks.

 

[GymWolf]

10000 is big to me lol

I mean it would be kinda big for me too, but not nearly as big if we talk about crazy dreams like buying an island and shit.

People is gonna answer with stuff that is not really possible with only 10 mil, like leaving a job and traveling the whole year for maybe another 30-50 years of remaining life, you need a fuckload of cash for that type of life.

10 million, id be dead in 3 years i reckon, or had a fucking good go at it

 

[T8SC]

I would spread "the message".

 

[lachesis]

Other than working less hours, and paying off my mortgage - I can't really see anything else that's radically different than how I live right now.

I do need a vacation, as other than company assigned holidays, I haven't taken a personal vacation for past 2 years, not even a sick day - so I may take a vacation to somewhere tranquil and quiet, with good food and perhaps a nice hot spring that I can go in alone while looking at night sky filled with stars.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Buy a LEGO® and keep it in the box for 10 years and sell it for profit.

 

[Amory]

For 10 million? I mean that's not dream *huge* money, but I'd buy a nice house and a solid car, throw most of it into low-risk investments and live a pretty simple life off the interest.

It'd let me quit my current job and go do something I'd enjoy while making a lot less money. I'd also travel a lot more than I do now, because I wouldn't need to kill myself working all the time

 

[8bitpill]

Buy a house in Ireland on the coast.
Build my existing company into a bigger one.
Invest in property, for a business I want to start along with rentals.
Put more than half of it in a savings so our daughter is set.
Travel for a couple of months.

The list goes on.

 

[Soodanim]

Buy GAF Gold

 

[Lux77]

 

[FunkMiller]

Flat in Sydney on the Lower North Shore (2 million US). House in Cairns near my grandparents (1 million US). Flat in North West London (2 million US). Invest 2 million in stock market. Live off rest. Write best selling erotic thriller under the pen name 'Dirk Longtrouser'. Earn another 10 million. Go into space with Elon.

 

[Dark Star]

10M is enough to retire and just chill. You can't go full Tony Montana mode.

I would buy a humble little house near a beach in California. I would go surfing, bike riding, skating. I'd spend a lot of time outdoors relaxing, a lot time reading books, gaming, watching movies, etc. I'm a simple person, not much would change. I'd invest in my hobbies, like producing music, and I obviously wouldn't work, but I would hire some smart people I know/trust to make some investments with my cash (stocks, mutual funds, index funds, etc).

I'm not interested in extreme wealth (like over 100 million dollars) that doesn't seem very fun. I don't want the whole world to think I'm Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates or something. I just want to disappear into the crowd and enjoy my life, travel the world. I would probably invest a bit (like enough to get to 50 million dollars) and donate to charities and maybe start my own non-profit organization to give back to the world/people.

 

[zeorhymer]

Start a bunch of not for profits in a bunch of cities and grab as many government grants as possible.

 

[catvonpee]

I'm not allowed now because of my job but I would smoke tons and tons of weed and probably start growing Afghani poppies so I could make my own opium.

I'd do tons of giveaways on here and help people..

I'd probably start hording cats too. Like make a place where I could have a bunch of cats. I also really want a pet donkey.

I would also get my favorite clothing label to make me some shirts and jeans to my specifications. I have already talked to them about this and they said I just need to buy 90 pairs and they'll do anything I want.

 

[kingwingin]

Blow it all on crazy bbw foot fetish party's

 

[Omega Supreme Holopsicon]

Simping, I would invest it, and from dividends give a ton of money to vtubers, onlyfans and other girls.

10 Million say diversified in high dividend yield gives about 3-4% dividend, that is 300k-400k$ a year, but given stock growth it doubles in a few years and doubles again in a few years. Within a few decades you have several million a year in dividend income, and can give away tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands without facing any financial issue.

 

[Arimer]

Buy a country and implement weird laws just for fun like having to wear tshirts as pants and pants as hats but nothing on your chest.

 

[Azurro]

I would invest half of it in rental properties, plus a house of my own in a nice area in the city I live in. I'd continue working as to not get bored, but probably take a paycut to work 4 days per week. I'd put 25% of it in indexes and the rest in a savings account and supplement my earnings with the interest and then continue living a middle class life, just without any stress and take more vacations to nicer places and stay in nicer hotels.

I guess I'm kind of boring compared to these other responses.

I'd buy my mom a car, and spend the rest on PCP

 

[Jasper_Rose_808]

Buy a super cool modern house in the countryside near some European capital (either London, Berlin or Stockholm), pay for my Uni and travel the world during summer breaks.

That's a tiny, tiny country if it can be bought with 10 million usd.

Idk how you travel but I could travel literally indefinitely with 10 million dollars. The interest on that money alone would be enough to sustain my travels. Easily.

 

[DragoonKain]

I would sit on my ass all day and do nothing.

 

[dr_octagon]

buy millions of beanie babies, pokeballs, pogs and other items which I'm convinced will go up in value

immediately set up a neogaf thread regretting my purchases

10 milions are not nearly enough to dream big.

Gimme 100 billions and we can talk about it.

Not to dream big, no.

But take your current life. Can you imagine yourself spending €1,000 a day? That’s €365,000 a year.
With ten millions Euros you could go 27 years spending €1,000 every day, if you had no other income for all that time, which is unlikely.

I would learn how to make more money without having to worry about ever losing it all, then I’d probably travel a bit, see the sights, hire someone to take care of the cleaning and cooking. I’m not one looking for the vida loca, so I’d just take it easy and do stuff I like (which would hardly get very expensive) and that money could actually last me for the rest of my life.

Unfortunately, this is exactly the kind of slant on life that tends to not attract money.

[Orion2]

I would buy a house in a remote location near a big city in my country, install top of the line electricity generators and backups to make sure I'm 100% standalone from the shitty government grid, make a private deal with an ISP to give me a direct wire or whatever they have best, then buy top of the line entertainment setups, every year the newest, buy a life time supply of the best pain pills, legal or not idgaf, as my health is very bad, terrible nervs, I'm in pain a lot, can't be fixed no matter the amount of money so good pain relief is the only option, then live the rest of my life in that amazing house with a casual life style, not rich to make the money last as long as possible and enjoy entertainment in the best way till the end, probably I would start buying professional digital drawing equipment too and try to get as good as I can at that too, I would make sure I have a great security system too, electric fence and all that

If you buy a house and chill, inflation + property and savings taxes will eat that money before you realize it.

 

[SidViscous]

start a business, or invest in start-ups I believed had a good idea, stay active, stay hungry. Take two really nice holidays every year, try not to become a complete snob but become a snob anyway.

Buy a championship, upgrade exercise equipment, buy a dog bone company rip the rain forest in half and profit.
