What would you do with £125 Million???

Give away at least 95%, buy a house, then put the rest in the bank and live off that for the rest of my life.

I'd still go to work.
 
• I think I’d start by buying a few houses like this: http://www.fish4.co.uk/iad/homes/ad...00B7855480&pos=130&src=search&tot=133&page=13 all over the country, just to own really.

• Then I’d design my own home and build it either right by Stoke City’s Britannia Stadium, or somewhere in America, so that the interior looked something like this: http://www.foxtons.co.uk/search?md5...inst_ref=ir_slsq000207264&resource=thumbnails

• Then I’d build a monster PC with 2 x 7800GTXs (or whatever the fastest graphics cards out at the moment are).

• Then I’d buy my mates a house each like this: http://www.fish4.co.uk/iad/homes/ad...00B7855480&pos=129&src=search&tot=133&page=13

• Buy my mum and dad and sisters some uber mansions in parts of the country they like.

• Pay off the rest of my familys mortgages and buy them all really good presents

• I would give most/the remainder to charity, although before I did that I’d thoroughly research the charity, and if possible visit each individual organization which I’m thinking of investing in to make sure the money will go to good use, as I hear that in charities a lot of money is wasted.

• I’d buy my gf a pink Micra (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-NISSAN-M...ryZ18238QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) and a pink Audi TT http://image12.webshots.com/13/4/19/80/340441980dcVltu_ph.jpg

• …and myself some nice cars too (http://www.motordesktop.com/wallpaper/supercars/Ferarri F430 Red 1 - 1024x768.jpg)

Are you serious? :eek:

Why? Set up your own company or something?

Then again I know some people who would do exactly the same. I suppose its one way of keeping your feet firmly on the ground and not going mad like many people would :)
 
I would give my family a fair share, and also my close friends.

Buy my family all new cars.

Pay for the entire family in Malaysia to come over to Europe travelling and put them up in nice hotels etc.

Buy a flat and a house in Brighton.

Buy a few cars - my own Audi TT and a couple of 'practical ones'.

Take the girlies clothes shopping. :D

Buy an villa in Ibiza on the beach.

Go on a world cruise.

Buy a nightclub (and run it), hold a massive party for everyone I know, and not let anyone in who doesn't deserve it!

Do I have enough money?!

ha haha...!

Think I would still have to go to work too - I would get bored. Maybe set up my own company.

I would go to work as well, I remember how bored I got in breaks at uni - waking up and having nothing to do would leave my life pretty empty tbh. I know you'd have the days filled with spending money, but the chance I can climb the ladder at work, or get a promotion is an important thing to me!
 
drive to work in the veyron, offer everyone a go :D

rolls royce phantoms for a few friends and myself

holiday for family and friends

uber pc and home cinema

ask work collegues what they want and write out cheques to the value there and then (imagine the looks on their faces)

wander in to some poncy hifi shop (bang and olufsen maybe) in scruffy clothes and buy everything

buy a packet of crisps from a petrol station and pay with a 50, when they ask for anything smaller rip it in half

i could go on forever :D
 
Euromilions ticket number generator here :)

Alter the value of ?num to change how nmany results it gives you.

It's all totally random, though if I get time/get bored I may feed it past draw results and weight it - surely practical probability matters more than theoretical probability :)
 
I would finish my degree, then go do something that helps other people.

Like teaching, or building houses in africa. I would get seriously bored if I didn't do anything all day.
 
give £100million to charity, then spend the rest on seeing that my family and close friends (the ones who have sense!) are well off.. before perhaps enjoying the finer things in life for myself without going OTT.
 
Pay for parents to move abroad to where they want. Redo this house we live in, give some money to friends & other family that are close & then just enjoy the good life lol.
 
I cant believe a lot of you would give money to charity!!! Have you relised that most of the money is used for admin and other costs... its doesnt all goto the needy, unless you go out to the country and give it directly to them.

I'm sure a starving child would prefer a pile of coins to a drink of water and blanket provided by the charity workers who know what they are doing?

:confused:
 
I would build a racetrack with a hotel in the middle... (bring your car and race for a few days)
Then invite all off ocuk to the opening week....

Don't think I would get much change from taht..

The food, water and blankets are very cheap, where do you think the majority of the rest of the money goes then?

For pity's sake, we need charities to organise all this business and galvanise people into action. Yes, some of them do suck a lot of money, but they do more good than harm, and without them very little aid would get to where it needs to be.

So, how much money have you donated directly to those in need without going via the evil middle man of charity?
