Assuming the $160 million number, then you're taking the cash value which is about half that, or $80 million. Then you pay roughly 40 percent in taxes, leaving you with $48 million.

I'd give one-third of it away, leaving me with $32 million. That would let me spend rough $1 million a year for the rest of my life.

I'd identify a good new owner for my company and give them a good deal, and I'd retire. I'd do a two-month cruise every year, and also spend a month each in a couple of exotic places like Paris or Sydney or Rio or Kodiak, Alaska. The other eight months, I'd have a personal trainer and a masseuse and a nutritionist/cook looking over me to ensure that I live long enough to enjoy my wealth for decades.

I'd get back into war games and board games and probably learn programming and other fun stuff. I'd take college courses in history and psychology. I'd read a lot. Honestly, I would probably revert back to a lot of the activities I had as a teenager when I didn't have a lot of financial pressures.

Oh. And that. I'd see if I could negotiate it with the wife.

Tell nobody.
Quit my job.
Open Swiss banking account.
Book trip to country with no extradition treaty with the USA.
Begin taking my revenge on my enemies.
Take that trip.

Buy a nice small oceanfront home in Dana Point, a semi-luxurious Tahoe cabin and start some world travel with the immediate family.

Wife will still do the laundry though.

Buy a condo on Kaanapali beach in Maui, HI. Live there from February to July. Build a house in one of the KC suburbs and live there the rest of the year.

If the payout was big enough, like say euro countries where the lottery can get close to a billion dollars, I would try to buy an NFL team altho I think most NFL teams cost more than a billion /sigh.

Easy first hire my friend the accountant to handle my cash.
Second move back to kansas
Third find a nice modest house
4th give a little to my folks and brother
5th buy chiefs season tickets
6th treat myself to goodies
Finally find the perfect mate who a orphan don't have family and non american.

Oh, I forgot. Hire someone to do all my laundry and any other chores around the house so R8ers won't think I'm a punkin puss.

Good you he bitch :LOL:

I'd be in Florida the next day. This winter sucks

Hookers and Blow

CPA. Calculate the tax.

Two chicks at the same time

That's awesome!!! Are you referring to the Donald Duck cartoon where his uncle went diving through this huge room full of coins/cash and swam through it while saying, "money, money, money, money, money?" I haven't seen that since I was probably 6 years old and I haven't thought about that in probably over a decade. Nostalgia. That part stuck out to me because I always thought it would be awesome to do that.
