Cell phone, internet, possibly cable, car (s), car insurance, health insurance, food and then basically you have the rest of your fortune to blow on entertainment/miscellaneous bullshit? Even if you've got a large family, the necessities aren't doing much to cut into your stipend. You will have A LOT of money to blow.

I think the $250,000 isn't extravagent, especially if you take world-class vacations during your two weeks off.

For the bigger stipends, I mentioned in another thread that I would probably become a charity superstar, because why not? It doesn't take that much in the big scheme of things. Some people have talked about buying land to putter around on, and I might do a little of that if I'm on a small lot. But I'd never really need more than about 50 acres, so that's a finite demand.

I'd spend a lot on hobbies and entertainment. I'd buy art and make art. I would probably fund someone to make a low-budget youtube TV series where I'm on the writing staff. I'd bring in experts to train me on things like building model ships or programming games or restoring the classic car that I inevitably buy. I'd fly Ben Folds in to perform at my Christmas party. (I wonder how much that costs?) I'd have a personal trainer at my house every day and a massage therapist twice a week.

And any time I order pizza delivery? Double cheese.
