If you won $997B before taxes what would you buy?

[WhatExit?]

How about a $25.5M Hollywood mansion?

Jimmy Kimmel will likely be making jokes about him (who F cares?!) cuz he's his neighbor...

I would buy RDP and give GRADS free range. Probably go have a 21 RC built with left side drive, v drive, and big block Chevy power. 2 axle trailer.

 

[Swain]

I would buy RDP and give GRADS free range.

That would tie up all your money.....

That guy will be broke in 5 years. 25 million home.... LOL It will cost home 250,000 k a year just in taxes. 5,000 a month in utilities, Thousands a year in insurance. Minimum. For a home like this you are looking at a cool 500k per year just to own it.

Well if he spends 100m and throws the rest in CDs he will be fine for awhile

 

[Joker]

But is he really that rich? I think this is going to the courts.

But then he could sell the house for 25 million

 

[Sharky]

The last thing I would buy is any house in California.

$25M will buy you a huge chunk of property (ranch) something like 1000 acres with a house somewhere else.

 

[Ace in the Hole]

I sure as shit wouldn't be in CA.....likely a very secluded highly secured ranch somewhere, and buy up the entire street in HI where my family is and Demolish everything and build a family compound with controlled access. I would very much be leave me the hell alone lol

lets say he pocketed 450 million.... after the house and maybe another blown 25 million....400 million remains. 5% interest remains...thats an easy 20 million a year basic...500k is nothing.

He is going to have around 500 million cash. He is going to have to buy a lot of 25 million dollars homes to be broke in 5 years.

 

[Yldboyz]

Allegedly, he's not the real winner, he stole the ticket from another person.

 

[RVRKID]

Allegedly, he's not the real winner, he stole the ticket from another person.

Pretty sure the Lotto officials confirmed he is the one that bought it.

 

[beerrun]

Allegedly, he's not the real winner, he stole the ticket from another person.

That has already been settled by CA lottery board he is the winner

 

[Singleton]

A couple pieces of real estate.
Wife will not move until daughter is out of high school, so
1) beach house in Carlsbad (wife still plays volleyball).
2) lake house, location TBD

Besides that, not much else.

 

[WYRD]

I'd buy a van down by the river

Assuming he can squeeze a 1% return on his money, he'll have 5 billion a year in interest, less taxes of course.
If he buries it somewhere, he can spend 5 billion a year for 100 years.
If he turns his full time job shopping, he needs to spend 240 million an hour to spend 5 billion a year.

I have a hunch his money will outlast him, assuming it doesn't kill him.

 

[Wheeler]

I'd buy Glenn a case of beer then go get myself a haircut.

Well that is only approximately 2.5% of his net worth.

What did your house cost? At 450k that would mean you would have a net worth of about 17.5M, do you? No? Can you still afford your house?

Im sure he will be just fine..

 

[Deckin Around]

this may sound crazy but a $25 mil house is only a low to mid level FU money purchase. He is way beyond that. He probably paid cash and didnt notice the charge as the interest is accumulating on his account balance.

I'm sure he ment 997 Million not billion

 

[Angler]

I would get my 5th wheel ceramic coated. I think I could live with that...

 

[FROGMAN524]

I’d buy out DCB and build the CC!

 

[Boat 405]

People that go on spending spree after they win big lotto payout. The 25Million dollar house, I guarantee isn't the only large expense coming. Cars, boats, planes.. It will be dust in a few years...

 

[mbrown2]

25M is a drop in the bucket for his new net worth... ....but definitely I would have bought in a better neighborhood...

 

[Wheeler]

He'll party like River Dave!

 

[Instigator]

I would buy a Private Island and Develop it, a few Boats, a Yacht, A Jet and a Sea Plane and a Helicopter and a Ranch big enough that I could put the house in the middle and not see a neighbor and then start hiring a few peeps. Then set a Trust to take care of our immediate family members.
If I still have enough left over start looking for Governments and bankers to buy !

 

[4Waters]

I definitely wouldn't buy in California

 

[77charger]

Might be worth it being next to libtard Kimmel just to annoy him to point he moves out. Then sell the house after

 

[Maw]

Two US Senators.

 

[HALLETT BOY]

I’d buy all the casinos in Primm , rehab everything and turn into a mini- Vegas .

 

[TimeBandit]

A vasectomy. That will save millions long term.

 

[Desert Whaler]

A place at Walters Camp, and a place in Bullhead.

 

[Cdog]

Big fuckin home in FT Lauderdale on the water.

No state tax

 

[Flyinbowtie]

To each his own I guess.
I'd be looking at a couple of adjoining sections in north central Nevada.
Water, a few home sites with a decent solar angle. Big generators, and backups for them.
Lotsa water. For grass, for Pasture, for Steers.
Barns, a big log home, for us, with a wrap around porch and range markers every 100 meters on the road in
Other homes for selected folks and visitors quarters.
A ranch, as self sustaining as possible, with some...security features. Nothing too silly, the wife has already ruled out a Moat and drawbridge, but she hasn't said "No" yet to the gun towers...as long as I make them fit the decor....or the gate(s).
A runway for friends. A small school, for my grandkids and the children of my friends...
And some large "KEEP THE HELL OUT" Signs.

 

[rivermobster]

I'd buy RDP for enough money that Dave wouldn't have to work ever again...

I'd PAY Hamad and Jeff to be mods, kill off the covid forums, kill off the dungeon...

PAY Tom Brown, skankersore, and a few others to come back...

And then ban Anyone that I don't like!

Probably pay Greg to come back as well.

Buy a house in the Florida Keys for the winters and a house in Tahoe for the summers and then buy Wheeler a new plane to fly me to wherever I want.

I'd buy out all of OC's boat partners so he could have Four of a Kind to himself.

Set my kids up for life...

Pay off all my friends debts...

Set up Shlbyntro for life...

Buy Barry his own machine shop and Dyno...

And last but not least...

Buy Parker Strip and shut the place down to everyone that doesn't know how to single ski!

That's all I can think of right now.

 

[oldboatsrule]

1st purchase would be a new name. Mr A. Hole.
2nd would be a captians license. (So I could officially be Capt A.Hole)
3rd would be a modest home on Catalina Island (the only Cali home I would keep)
4th would be that lake house in Tennessee that my daughter wants.
The rest I'de blow on race cars,boats,hot rods and airplanes

 

[WYRD]

Can't believe nobody said what everyone is thinking....hookers-n-blow


Just don't mix em' up, you might end up blowing hookers

 

[ChrisV]

Mti 44

 

[mjc]

Anything i dam well please

 

[JJ McClure]

Yep. Everything. That’s a lot of money.

 

[arch stanton]

Can't believe nobody said what everyone is thinking....hookers-n-blow


Just don't mix em' up, you might end up blowing hookers

i always wanted to party like a true rock star and Hookers-n-blow was the legend i remember
the problem is i’m to old to really use a hooker correctly without the blow and i don’t think i could actually do i vert often

 

[Orange Juice]

I think that’s enough to keep a yacht in the Mediterranean, and one in the Bahamas, two aircraft on standby.

I would spend a lot of time traveling, and enjoying family ( even the ones I don’t care for).

I would wear a new pair of underwear every day, for the remainder of my life.

 

[Bpracing1127]

Buy several houses

Fl
Hi
Az
Mt
S car

Then buy boats for each of those houses, + 20/50 cars I liked

I could do all of that in a few hours. I figure that is 200 mill right there. I’ll invest the rest. Quit my job and become a Walmart greeter

Buy a plane and chase the sun. I hate being cold

 

[clarence]

Kate Beckinsale

 

[4Waters]

A new prop

 

[Xtrmwakeboarder]

I sure as hell wouldn’t buy in Hollywood. Newport, CDM, Malibu, etc. $25MM and I’m looking at the ocean, not shithole LA.
