You win. Now spend it.
After Uncle Sam gets his cut, let's say you're left with $500 million - still a hefty chunk of change.
I'd get a condo in all the places we love - PCB, Gatlinburg, St. Augustine, Bastrop, Cody, Rapid City, Lincoln. Then I have a place to live when I visit and friends/family can use them too.
I'd figure out what we want to do with the motorhome - stick with Class A, go with a 5th wheel - then get something perfect for us. We enjoy campground living and would still roam.
I'd be a "Secret Santa". Find needy families and help them out. Help out enterprising young people to get their dreams started. Help out seniors who are having a tough time. No publicity because that's not fun. No "charities" because I'm more about direct help and not funding some bigwig's outrageous salary.
I cant think of anything else I want. I'm a cheapskate by nature, so fancy cars and homes and yachts don't appeal to me. I'd probably still shop at Goodwill and be excited by $2 shirts. I just want stuff that facilitates my wandering gypsy and makes other people happy.
What would you do with it?
