Spending Wisely?

If you were given $100,000,000.00 (or you won) what would you do with the money, what investment would you make?

Since you have that much money, any interest in high risk or aggressive growth is really unnecessary. I would go for 100% safe guaranteed investments even if they produce lower expected returns. Look into CDs or an ING account. They will give you around 4.5 - 5% interest. Look at ING.com for the savings account. At this rate, you are going to be making 5 million a year with absolutely no risk.

First off I would buy or create ten different businesses, then I would have ten different people manage them and go on vacation for the rest of my life!!!!!!!

buy a house/ unit whatever I can afford.

A hundred million dollars?

You know what would be cool? Call up everyone you know and give them some big amount of money, like $10,000. Imagine sending Christmas cards to everyone you know and enclosing a $10,000 check! Imagine going in to work and just handing out checks to everyone you work with. I might give out 100 or 200 of those altogether. "Here, buy yourself something really nice." (Of course then I'd quit my job.)

Then I think I'd travel. I thought maybe I'd get a nicer house, but OTOH I might just sell my house and not live -anywhere-! At least for a while. Maybe live in nice hotels for a couple weeks or a month at at time. Keep in touch with a satellite phone. 8^)

Prothenb had the right idea about investment. Low risk, low yield. Maybe govt. bonds or CDs. Maybe hire someone to look out for the money.
