    Let's say you won the Euro Millions and got 100 million. What would you do with it or how would you spend it?

    P.S sorry if this has been done

    My Ideas
    (1)Move to America and buy a mansion somewhere like Boston or LA

    (2)Start up my own production/Record company that's primary function is to help up and coming Rock bands make a name as well as finanacing movies and other projects

    (3)Open a Night Club

    (4)Buy a Mustang V6 Convertible as well as a Jaguar XJ

    (5)Buy a Private Jet

    (6)Holiday Home in Kerry

    (7)Buy one of those huge Mobile Homes like the one Ned Flanders had and travel around the USA

    (8)Use my money to help science such as finding a cure for cancer as well as other fatal illnesses.

    (9)Keep the rest for a rainy day

    (10)Make sure the family is settled

    (11)Give a little of my money to the Irish healthcare and education system

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭Aodan83


    I'd buy most of the stuff I want. Then spend the remaining 90 million on hookers and blow.

    No, it's just my disbelief that you would waste 100 million euro on that skanky whore.

    Buy a grand old house (I know the one I want already)

    Buy 7 classic cars and a runabout new tin box.

    Start shopping at Super Quinn and M&S

    Subscribe to Sky Sports

    Set up 50 or so direct debits for good causes which would be paid out of interest every month.

    Buy Waterford Utd and get them into the Champions League group stages within 2 seasons (just for the laugh).

    A good security system.

    Buy land. Buy a lot. In northern spain the basque resion. In any number of places in italy. In the west of ireland and in dublin. In greece. Design house for each place in tune with the landscape. No white bungalows. Buy art. Buy antiques. Buy great cars, park one in each. All classic. Only a small number as I've only one arse so can only drive one at a time. Travel the world with those homes as my variable base. Spend the rest in research in renewable energy stuff.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Hire Joe Pesci as my personal bodyguard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,437 ✭✭✭weemcd


    Buy my own niteclub, hire a few real staff and a proper manager for the mundane, day to day stuff.

    Hire my mates to work for me*

    *=by work I mean get a decent wage for fúckin about 2 days a week, spending the rest of the week inviting great looking women in the club back to my luxuriously fitted office with a fully fitted free bar, and give out free bottles of champagne. Anyone me/they don't like can GTFO, "bouncers over here plz." I'd also have some búll**** legal loop hole built in that classes the bar as an invite or members only club or something like that so I don't get the balls sued offa me for discrimination when I turf people out.

    I have it all planned you see.

    Read up of plenty of times where becoming a sudden millionaire can cause lots of problems, in regards to whatever relationship, causing the person to become pretty isolated.


    If I won the lotto, or inherited a vast fortune, I would try to keep it as quiet as much as possible and not advertise myself with useless mansions or cars that can go 250km/h or w/e that are stuck to roads on 80km/h to begin with...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,391 ✭✭✭Captain-America


    So if you were handed 100 million euro you'd just go "Nah, sorry, I hear people get pretty isolated when they win the lotto."?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,122 ✭✭✭BeerWolf


    So if you were handed 100 million euro you'd just go "Nah, sorry, I hear people get pretty isolated when they win the lotto."?

    Course I'd take it - just don't want to advertised out to people as being one, then start attracting people looking for money and what have you. I would really hate having people who start 'acting nice' just because you're rich then. Worst so if they're family members, ones that you've not seen in awhile. Or quarrels within your own family asking for a share, etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,391 ✭✭✭Captain-America


    Ahh, you edited your post. I didn't catch the last part.

    I don't know really, I mean if you have good friends before you win say the lotto then you know they are not with you for your money, and if it was me I would treat them to lots of good things to make life easier for them.

    But I can see where it would cause problems in families as some would automatically think they were in for a handout regardless of how you got on beforehand.


  • Registered Users Posts: 96 ✭✭mumof3angels


    I know this is going to sound daft but "dont want it" would b happy with lotto plus 1 or 2
    enough to buy a house and pay for my kids education
    Sad I know but I have always believed that that much money will bring nothing but unhappiness

    Money buys you nothing but time. Time is the most important and valuable thing you have. It buys you the option of working as a wage slave for life. It gives you the means to explore the world. That may bring you happiness.

    Sorry Wibbs, have to disagree here.
    Money can't buy you time just look at Jade Goody.
    No amount of money in the world will buy you time if your time is up.

    €100m would buy me the 39 hours a week that I spend working and let me do something else with it. Sure I'd probably waste it, but think of all the sleep ins.

    True but her last days would have been much worse if she was still living in a sink estate relying on the NHS. She may even have died earlier. I would say there are quite a few people out there who have survived because they had the resources to pay for superior health care. Her kids would no likely be in care too. Money still wins I reckon.

    I'd give a 1/3 to a 1/2 of it away to friends and charity.

    Fuck working. I'd bring up my kid, do a couple more degrees, and take it easy.
