two chicks at once



Get a nice, reasonable 3000 sq ft home here in the Dallas area - gotta have a 4 car garage, I'm a truck guy
2000 sq ft vacation home in San Diego, and another in Jacksonville - have friends on both coasts, rent to my buddies to watch over and so they can enjoy cheap living, party with them when I visit
Diversify, invest 5 million in many different segments, most of it in very stable enviroments
Own a small business, maybe a pool hall - I'm a big pool player, and I always wanted a bar - have my friends run it and employ buddies when they are out of work, only goal is to break even
Take a shot with a coach - see if a hacker like me could actually become a pro player with good coaching and some athletic ability, as well as no time commitments
Take vacations with the wife, meet new people, and just do what I already do, but on a grander scale....

Bury it in a jar in the backyard. Jk

I would prolly do what a lot of ya'll are saying, by a modest house and vacation house, a nice car, and then put the rest towards my mom and dad, grandparents and close friends. O yea, I would buy some new clubs :)

1/2 would go into an education trust for relatives, 1/4 invest so that I could live off the interest with some left over for charities, remaining would purchase a modest condo, car, and a share in a successful business (marina or golf course).

20 million... Wow....

I'd give my parents 3 million, my sister 2 million, and a million to the inlaws. My grandparents are all dead, so there isnt much I can do for them. The rest of the family would get nothing. Not that I dont love the rest of my family, but im not responsible for their financial well being either.

Then i'd buy two homes. One here in Canada, on a golf course 350k will get you a beautiful home on a beutiful course here). Another somewhere warm, for the cold winter months. Neither of them would be fancy, huge homes. Just nice, respectable sized homes.

A new Ferrarri for me. One time purchase, driven a couple of times a year. I'd pay off my truck, which is a 2010, so I wouldn't need another for a few years.

I'd buy the wife a Mini Cooper, because she is absolutely in love with them. She's planning on buying one next year anyway, but 20 million could speed up the process, lol.

I'd pay off my harley, buy a Suzuki Hayabusa, and a bike for the wife. A new snowmobile.

Golf stuff! I'd have tons of new clubs to choose from everytime I went to the course, and i'd be at the course often!

Golf and motorcycling, that would be my life. Neither the wife or I want children, so we'd definately be doing what we enjoy (hell, we do now anyway).

We can only dream!
