If you won 10 million dollars, be honest, who are you spending most of it on?

If you won 10 million dollars, honestly who are you spending most of it on?

Myself, I won the money, it's time to pay off my bills, and/or buy myself something nice/travel, etc

My parents, they've done so much for me, this would be a great thank you

Giving it to charity. It's always been in my heart to give back to the community in some way

My kids. This would help them now or with their future

Siblings/Friends: we've been through so much, time to pay it forward or have some fun

My significant other, we're ride or die, it's time to do stuff we love and/or pay things off together

[WhiteSteve]

Probably myself, ultimately, or my lady. I’d invest the bulk of it, so it wouldn’t just be free cash, but maybe enough to pull some dividends from and live on passive income. But I’d want to give more to charitable causes and help people, and probably more so, ANIMALS. I could live more freely at that point too, and actually do something hands-on with my time, that can be better than money.

My dad is on the 18th hole at his age, otherwise I’d do more for him and my mother if she were still alive. My cousins are pretty successful, and my young cousins have a rich family on their mother’s side, so they’ll be fine, haha. I’d of course be generous and would help them if they needed it, but I just don’t think they would, haha.

I do have one friend who is a DISASTER, lmao, and I’m inclined to help him out, even though it’s an absolute money pit of an endeavor. But that’s my bro, and I think that would win out, even though I’d probably just be enabling him and he wouldn’t turn himself around. So I’d keep the homey Chris afloat, someone’s gotta do it. Pray for him to be as successful in poker as he always is going in imagining that he’ll be😂

My only living relatives are my sister and her 40 year old daughter. I would give my sister $1 million.

I would spend the rest on my and my wife's security. Pay off our bills, improve our house and 30 acres to make it almost completely self sufficient and sustainable so that inflation and shortages of goods and services wouldn't effect us.
We have already done a lot, but I have a long list of things I would upgrade and improve.
I would buy gold with part of the remaining money.
I would set aside at least $1 million in cash for bills and expenses.
I would put another million in my IRA to be invested.
We would make arrangements for a couple of experienced farmer/groundskeepers, maybe a husband and wife team.
And we would spend some traveling and having fun.

[sheikalana]

I would keep part of the money for retirement. Part of the money for our kids education and savings account. Part of the money to share with family. Part of the money to invest in real estate and property.

[Vesuvius87]

A good portion for myself to travel, live on my own, build a business, etc. The remaining would be for charity, my younger brother, parents and grandma.

[zeitgeist057]

A mix, but mostly it would be to myself. Though a lot of my goals involve giving back and involving community, ultimately I'm the one in possession of the resources. For example, I'd like to buy a big property and have a lot of people living there, an intentional sustainable community that is a model to the world of how to live in abundance. But I wouldn't just donate it to the public, I would still have ownership of the property because it's my plans and dreams, so if it became publicly owned, I would lose control of the direction it went.

[TheSpectre]

Wow. Our community is so selfless... 😒

Parents and THEN myself.
My mom and dad are in debt. I'd clear em out first, then change our old cars into new 2024-25 models of Hyundai Elantra and i20, invest in our garden house on countryside, buy all the rights and pay all mortages at once so we wouldn't worry about it again for rest of the current year and finally, also invest in some cool villas to rent to people and gain monthly/weekly rent money from them.

Y'all expect me to spoil myself too, right?
Maybe a nice 2-story villa with a garden, then a beautiful muscle car. Nothing too expensive, a new $70-$100k 2024 model of Shelby GT500, maybe a cool gaming setup with RX 7900 XT & Ryzen7-7800X3D with 32GB/5TB and a nice gaming chair, redecorate my whole room with RGB lights and rare game posters.

And FINALLY, for myself, 5 pairs of vintage jordans in size of 47/13 (EU/US). Cause i wear 46-47 or 12.5-13.

[RingOfFire]

It's a good question and a tough one for me because I am already wealthy. I just finished taking care of both of my parents for many years and my last parent died last year. So I don't need to spend anything on them. Have no kids, no wife. Don't need to spend money on that. I don't live the fancy lifestyle I could afford. I live well, but far below the way I could afford. So don't need the money for that.

So where do I spend it and who do I leave it too? It kind of leaves charities by default.

[Rangers]

Myself, but also my future family. Hopefully my current girlfriend and I will go the full length and if we do, we'd have a wonderful place together and I'd take the steps needed to have kids with her (I'm infertile, but there are medical developments that have happened which make it possible to extract sperm from me).

I'd save the overwhelming majority of it, but I'd buy a home with it and continue trying to fight my alcohol addiction as well as get into shape, so I can one day wear the blue uniform, if God so allows such

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I'd probably invest most of it. Use 250k for getting and building cars for myself and friends, pay a bunch of people's debt, go on a relatively cheap vacation.

Yea probably give away a little over a million, use 200k for dicking around and invest the rest.

[Awesomesauce2005]

Awesome 👌

[Telekinetic-Potato]

@Awesomesauce2005 coming from you, that means a lot

[Awesomesauce2005]

Why me specifically?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

@Awesomesauce2005 because you have the sauce. Figure that makes you an authority

[Telekinetic-Potato]

And you've been in the game since 2005

[Awesomesauce2005]

And?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

@Awesomesauce2005 I mean, it's in your name

[TheRealPepperPotts]

I'd use 9 million of it to start a non-profit and build a housing community for single moms that provided childcare and education options so they could get their feet back under them.

I'd use the rest to pay off my mortgage, invest and further my education so that my kids could go to a quality school.

[molonski2]

I'd buy both my daughters a house , leaving around 8 mill , all the rest would be invested , which would return me around 800k Pa , plus my income that I receive already , so it would be a very nice scenario.
I'm not into wastage , so it would enable me to live very well.

[CrabCakes11]

I’d do a mix. First I’d pay off my debts and set some money aside for emergency funds or things I need, then pay off the debts of family, close friends, and my significant other. Then I’d buy some trip or something for them, and spend the remaining on charity

[AviatorTom]

This (or similar) question gets asked a lot, and I always give the same answer.

I would keep enough of it for my retirement, maybe a million, and give the rest to my favorite charity, St Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis Tennessee, which does fantastic work with childhood cancer, at no cost to the family.

[Dargil]

*Getting out of debt (less than 20g)
*Selling my house (200g)
*Getting a better home in Florida. 400g
*Moving there 10g
*Upgrading my vehicles. 25g
*Some overseas travel.30g
*Buying gold 5mil
*Buying land in SD, Utah, Idaho or Montana.

[DaBiggestBird]

Also take a cut out of it to make a little budget for Pokemon cards in case Mega Evolution truly returns and they actually make new ones like they should. Then make another bigger budget for my own card game since it will be way better and every way.

[Dongie]

I really didn't want to pick any but went with sibs and friends. But I would give 10% to my church and charities then open many insured bonds at hopefully 5.5%. Then I'd help my 2 favorite sisters and a few nieces and nephews. All this while building my new but modest size home.

[Simslover92]

I would say myself but once I pay off all my debt and buy a home, I would give a good bit to my family, my best friend and most of all my boyfriend who could certainly use some of that money.

I would also give some to charities.

[abc3643]

I voted for top. However, after paying off my bills, I'd put the rest in savings investments so I could live off the interest. $9 million giving 1% APR interest is $90,000 a year which I could live off of. I'd work part-time for needed extra income.

[A_Nihilist]

Myself.

I think it's a ridiculous idea that many people seem to have that, just because you're friends or family with someone, that you are entitled to their money if they win a prize.

"Oh but it's a lot of money. Don't be greedy."

Okay... you make 500 a week at work. Give me half. Come on don't be greedy.

No? Didn't think so.

[EmmaMary]

25% Into each of our two children's investment accounts.

25% To our families.

12.5% To charities and good causes.

12.5% For ourselves.

[Awesomesauce2005]

This doesn't add up, what about the last 25%

[EmmaMary]

@Awesomesauce2005

25% Into EACH of our TWO children's investment accounts. = 50%.

[Awesomesauce2005]

Ah that makes sense lol I just read numbers

[lightbulb27]

I'd buy a huge barn and fill it with motorcycles and cars.

then I'd buy a vault and fill it with jewlery for my wife with the other 9 million.

[David_S_Majcherek]

I am kinda a generous person, or so I try to be.

It would probably be most myself & my siblings; my sisters, & pamper my girlfriend as soon as I've found her, which is easier for a man in the modern world, because natur of male psyche is; he want's to be god for collateral or else he'll hold back more.

Having do like 1o Millioner equal possibility to be more open, & if others give a rats a* about you, it's easier to move on cus f* it I'm loaded

[David_S_Majcherek]

Honestly I've got more then that already... No wait I shouldn't say that & get golddiggers & kidnappers aware... no I'm not... in cash... on me

[goaded]

After paying off any debts and buying a bigger place, I'd pay people over the odds to keep the place clean and tidy (apart from areas for wildlife) and invest most of the rest for my kids and their education. The crumbs, I'd use for holidays.

[adam6402]

I'm giving 1M to my parents, paying off all my sibling's mortgages, buying myself a 4M dollar house, my dream car, and banking the remaining 3M for myself and my partner. Life sorted.
