Now that it is up to 365 Million dollars: What would you do with that much money.

365million
182 Million if you do the one time cash out
81 Million After taxes


So what would you do with 81millions bucks?


I would open up a bike/ski/outdoor adventures store.

First thing I'd do is write out massive checks to my family members.

House, new Toyota Tacoma, a nice bag of camera gear and then I'd hit the road and go traveling for a while!

I'd have a lot of happy friends, too.

Everything.

I'd buy Land. Lot's and lot's of land. And develop it for recreation use AND natural habitat conservancy. Then i'd give it to Land conservancy organization so I couldn’t be taxed AND it could NEVER be developed for commercial use. No Strip malls, NO town houses and NO Hummer dealerships.

lots and lots of land. Perhaps in 2 different places - some land here in upstate NY, and some out west. Of course it will all be for riding/trails.

I would buy everyone that I like on RM a new bike (yes even N8 & Loco) but I live in a state that believes lotteries are a mortal sin, (so we have none) what a bunch of Jackasses....

I'd set mine and MBC's family up. They need the money more than we do. After that, it'd be a loooong vacation that would include lots of biking and drinking. Then we'd buy a new house.

And there's no way in hell I'd keep my job. Don't get me wrong...I like my job, but I ain't keeping it. :D

i'd buy land around my hometown, Fredericksburg, and in Colorado, which i would like to leave open for biking and skiing. i'd have to put a little cottage on there, of course...perhaps a bed & breakfast, as well.

then i'd pay off my mom's house and buy her a new truck.

then i'd pay off my dad's house, and buy him a new truck.

then i'd pay off my college loans.

then i'd pay off my girlfriend's loans.

then i'd give $100k to the ACS.

then i'd buy more land between Whistler and Pemberton...not a lot. enough for a couple small houses to rent out during the Olympics.

then i'd hire some badass accountant to help me figure out how to keep the money untaxed, legally.

Yeah - but you see my chances of winning the lottery are statistically the same as people who actually *buy* tickets. :p

BTW - who is "Dustin"? :confused:
Damn it - I was thinking "you're in a state that could use another nice person, such as Dustin".

Oh well - I try.

Dustin is "Inbred", and is a very cool kid.

that's all we've got in Frederickburg. they own the best land...there's tons of good riding to be had there, but no one will open up the land that they see 3 months out of the year.

I'd buy something sweet for the BF and my mom first

Then I'd buy myself a house with lots of land for riding and a Hybrid and a Mini to park outside.

I'd buy a carbon roadbike for myself and one for Rob, a Livestrong bike to hang in the bike room and a DH bike and an SS too.

I'd have a seafood dinner every night and travel whenever I wanted to.

Dreaming from my cubicle...:weee:

I'd buy bluebug a new crib so she could take her bike in. It would have a pole, but it would be brass and used for dancing. :devil:

I would buy Rm and then ban N8.

Either that or I would buy N8 a clue.

Seriously though, like many of you I would hook up family and friends, buy land for recreational purposes, and travel forever. Oh and I would buy many cool cars. I've always wanted an Avanti. (As well as many others)
