Euromillions €160,000,000 - Objects of desire.

Trip to the international space station.

BetterThanThou · 17-10-2014 2:15pm

I'd immediately book a one way ticket to Amsterdam, and stay there until I was in the mood to come home. I'd then return to Ireland and purchase a nice big house, in a suburb of Dublin, nothing too big though. I'd then invest in a number of more expensive houses to rent out. I'd probably build my own private zoo somewhere in the Wicklow Mountains, and employ staff to take care of the animals for me. Once I've grown used to the rich lifestyle, I'd probably buy myself into some university to finish my education, as a safety net, and to keep myself occupied, as I don't think a life of 100% leisure would be suited to me.

I would become the Irish Dan Bilzerian.

Doubt you'd see much change out of your 160M buying that place somehow!

Sheeps · 17-10-2014 2:36pm

I'd try and get a couple of deals on some nama buildings and turn them in to something profitable.

So you're going to Sweden and hiring a prostitute.

That's a few hundred euro.

You sure know how to think big!

Tzardine · 17-10-2014 2:41pm

A gold plated house and rocket car.

devildriver · 17-10-2014 2:46pm

Nothing too crazy. Just use the 160m to put a deposit on one of these:

A shortail McLaren F1 please.
About €3,500,000 used.
A bargain!

Buy Lionel Messi and have him play for Bohs.

oldyouth · 17-10-2014 3:50pm

BMW i8 in 7 different colours, for very practical reasons

BoJack Horseman · 17-10-2014 4:03pm

Buy a political party.

A mere 1/4 million pays for a general election campaign.

Power behind the thrown etc.

vicwatson · 17-10-2014 4:07pm

This

and drive the length and breadth of the Americas, then sell it !! and give the proceeds to a hobo.

Calibos · 17-10-2014 4:08pm

For years I'd been saying that if I won a euro millions in the 100 million + range I'd be taking a 2 week holiday on the International Space Station which costs about 18 million courtesy of the Russian Space Agency.

That was until I had a Homer Simpson DOH! realisation when commenting on the fairground rides on the Bray Seafront. "Jaysus, I do get sick just looking at those things...."

Not sure if I'd bother buying properties in cities I like. Think I'd prefer to stay in luxury hotels and move around from place to place. Nice problem to have though.

Why ?

With 160m the interest alone would provide a ridiculous salary to live on ..

Where to put it though?

I'd probably buy Irish gov bonds.
They always pay up.

I'd buy Boards.ie and immediately shut it down.

dxhound2005 · 17-10-2014 9:27pm

No winner of the €164 mill. One ticket bought in Ireland got €5667. 39 got €254. Most weeks the highest anyone in Ireland gets is around the €250 mark.

For that price? No thank you. Probably cheaper to build your own skyscraper than pay that much.

irritablebaz · 18-10-2014 11:18pm

probably spend a lot of time worrying what banks to put it in so i don't lose the lot.

zcorpian88 · 19-10-2014 2:24am

Pay of the parents mortgage, then sell the kip (it's a council house that they have always struggled to get the money to fix the place up proper, the estate where I live was built in a wet weekend with shyte materials pretty much 40 years ago while all the decent builders had to head off to England)

Buy the folks a new house, buy my sister's a house each.

I'd feck off and travel for year, only coming back to see how my house is coming along in the building process, wouldn't build anything too big but it would be roomy.

Make sure my immediate family are looked after in general.

Take all my friends away on a long holiday, we will discuss the destination.

Give a good chunk to charities that I am fond of and keep track of where that money is going.

Buy some land and set up my own music festival maybe too like Donnington or Rock Am Ring in Germany

The Katrion yacht that was docked in cork a few months back would be a good start.under 13 million.bar on the top deck and hot tub.I'd probably leave it docked there and just party with friends,be totally wasted on me!I'd enrol in course after course in college too,stuff I was genuinely interested in.be going around college like van wilder on a segway!
