Think of how many charities you could sustain on the interest alone while still spending. Costs you nothing do do that.

And I could very easily find a way to spend 500 mil. One nicely outfitted yacht can go for $200 mil plus the staff to run it.

college is over rated. they could learn a trade and do much better for themselves.

Buy 250,000,000 Powerball tickets to the next drawing. Yeah, that's some smart investing.

This how rich people live, stay rich and their job is managing their money (ala Romney)... Make 10-20% a year on 200,000,000, live like a king and in 20 years have billions.
