My Multi-Million Musings
The one hundred-million-dollar challenge
A dear friend of mine used to spend a million dollars in her head whenever she couldn’t sleep. Far more fun than counting sheep, right?
There’s only one thing better than spending one million dollars and that’s spending one hundred million dollars.
The Celtic Chameleon recently asked the question: What would you do with one hundred million (dollars, I assume)?
The question was inspired by a piece by PJ Jackelman. You can enjoy PJ’s and the Celtic Chameleon’s articles here and here respectively.
And so here’s what I’d do if I won a hundred million dollars in the lottery (that I never enter).
First things first
To clarify, the money I win is Australian dollars, which are worth less than US dollars. But, hey, I’m not greedy.
Firstly, I’d keep this whole thing anonymous. When you come into a lot of money, you can imagine the sorts of characters who crawl out of the woodwork wanting something from you. If I don’t tell anyone (besides a few trusted souls), they won’t ask me for stuff and then I won’t have to feel bad when I say no, piss off.
As soon as the money hits my bank account, I’m going to quit my job. Maybe even before…
