If you won the euromillions..

And we're talking a 20 rollover jobby, and you won billions.....
(You've come to this conclusion because you've now bought everything you've ever wanted for yourself, and the love of all women you ever wanted.)

What technology/research would you invest in?

I'd probably do solar panels.

meh, after the woman and booze i'd have none left.

Nuclear fusion and the LHC.

jp_bl_68 · 24 Oct 2009 at 21:14

Virtual reality, recreational drugs, robotics. But I'd probably just buy my own country.

Marky · 24 Oct 2009 at 21:20

I'd invest in my own island and my own company (Including huge skyscraper

)

What about hookerbots?

I would build villages, total comunities in poor countries,

Schools, sanitation, health centres, develop farms and fisheries and fund and train self defence forces/police and found a comunity governing structure.

I saw a guy who did this in south america somewhere, he wanted to make a difference and thought charities wasted too much and gave the wrong help, the people in the places he funded have done so well and he gets so much out of it all just seeing how well they have done.

Yeah but you can't have freaky robot sex with a group of third world villagers.

Then the corrupt regime in the country will burn them all to the ground. Or it would descend into chaos as soon as the money stopped coming. Or the forces/police will become corrupt etc.

And you wouldn't get billions from any lottery.

It's the carrot and 'stick' approach.

Eugenics, space travel and sexbots.

an evil skyscraper with lightning around the top.

batsy · 24 Oct 2009 at 21:37

nice sig blix

Would invest in research into the big killers like cancer/heart probs and also space exploration (not sure what the investment opportunities are but i would pay my way onto a space station visit :cool:

)

Wouldn't know what to do with it tbh. I'd finish my house, get a **** hot landscape firm to do my back garden, and also get solar panels installed. Would come to around 50k I'd imagine. After that I have no idea what to do with it. I have zero interest in flash cars, yachts, villas or jewelry. Perhaps I will build my own observatory, get a sexy telescope and just gaze at the stars every night whilst drinking whiskey and smoking cubans. Simple things

As for investment. Astronomy.

Mucky_Pup · 24 Oct 2009 at 21:40

There would always be stuff I would want, so I'd just keep spending till i died, or live a life of excess and die fairly soonish, and have lots of money to be buried with.
