What would you do if you won $50 million?
ngon master
First for all $50 million USD after taxes (for those who want to get picky).
Random thread, but in this economy and around the holiday season I feel like we should have a moment to dream about not having to worry about money.

Then I wouldn't know what to do with the 49.99 remaining millions, at all.
Oh and just keep making games
Modeling and making mods like I'm doing now actually, but with a Cintiq, and without the annoying overhead of bills, and food to worry about.
EDIT: Ooh, and a mechanical Dog nemesis for my dog. I think he'd like that.
Then I'd sit at home and make games and do contract work, then drive on the weekends and repair cars around the neighborhood. Grow food in the garden. The other 49mill would just sit and be used as needed, cash for the kids, take care of my folks, send cash to my little cousins to make sure they have a chance for post high-school education. I can't think of myself NOT working, even if I was loaded.
Oh and a bunch of the smallest fastest computers I can get my hands on for rendering stuff.
good call.
I figure if i ever have a few million laying around that i dont need I would built an observatory or something better than the huble space telescope. something about space and the cosmos in general i find very intriguing and im always interested in learning anything about it.
oh, and of course, start a game company, and hire everyone on PC
Would make an amazing art studio for myself, would go nuts with materials, and whip out paintings and whatnot as my richly self so desired.
I would give a shitload to animal charities, will try to save all the cats in the world, and all that good stuff.
And then go nuts on electronics, get a sweet house (or condo), and take my friends out for fucking expensive sushi dinners all the time.
I'd get myself a cracking set of boobzookas...and a mirror.
Buy a nice place and spend my days making art.
Give to a few notable causes and possibly start a studio.
Put away 2-5m for myself and my brother for retirement.
Put 2m away in a "rainy day" fund.
Put 8m in a "living expenses and toys" fund.
Put 5-10m into an account someone else can manage and grow.
Put the remaining 20-25m into starting a games studio or two.
I want to make games, I want to make big games, and getting a bunch of money wouldn't change that, it would just change the pecking order
And maybe do some other ridiculous stuff involving website merging.
I'll pay off the loans at first.
save 20k for business start-up
and buy myself a huge house the one populer software engineers have these days.
Than either save up or give it to the charity or some one who needs it.
I'd probably set it up for some episode release, first game roughly 40 hrs, then 10 hr episodes after that. Its gotta have a story and be challenging first and foremost. And screw the ESRB. But I'd have the other artists collaborate on the story, ideas and implementation.
I'd probably set up the studio somewhere random, like the midwest since theirs no studios here, but I'd have to do it somewhere with an art scene.
Gotta get a nice car, Audi R8 sounds about right.
I'd defiantly want to design my own house, might get too crazy though.
I don't want to over spend on computer/tv's/ because those become out dated pretty quick, but I think I could invest in a killer audio system without having to worry about that. speaking of audio I'd like to learn an instrument too...
Gotta get a killer tattoo too.
- pay off my own large debts
- help both brothers with their monetary issues, retire my mother & stepfather
- buy a decent house and car (nothing crazy)
- travel for a while (since I'd probably never get the chance again)
- get a proper pimp workstation setup for meh home office
- donate to several charities close to my heart
- invest/save for retirement (I love what I do, so I could never stop working outright)
@ZacD - I hope you meant R8 V10
Go around and let him feed on those yappy little dogs that people tend to carry when they go for walks.
Then pay them off once they sue me.
Now the question is...does anyone have a good link with a tutorial about "how to gain 50 millions"? xD
/\ That... must save teh kitties!!!
...and pay off my student loans.. credit card.. pay back my parents...
Excusing charities, cause I'm sure they'd squeeze in somewhere, I'd do the following:
Split it 50/50 with my partner straight away, and if we were married at the time, re-write the pre-nump!!! That leaves me $25M.
Next, I'd give $5M to each my sister and Mother. Leaving me $15M.
With my $15M, I'd make sure I was in at least a 3-4 bedrooom house in a nice area where I can own a bike for more than 2 weeks without it getting stolen. Then I'd buy a new bike. Also a car, or three (Mustang, '68 Firebird... and an Aygo or something to offset the carbon from those beasts).
I'd always said I'd create a (war)gaming club if I had infinite money... but the best one ever, with a bar, and nicely furnished. It'd not make much/any money but I and others with similar interests would be very happy.
I'd probably also help the friends that need it get out of any financial trouble too.
either that
or hire all of polycount to do some wicked stuff.
then i'd pay a man with a car never to be more than 20 miles from me, ever.
they havent hired me yet !
not that I have any relevant skills but thats not the point
Im curious...do you mean you would buy "a set" and attach them too your chest?
:P
Either that, or meet up with me, post op.
Chartered. Flight.

shit!
you know how to tickle my funny bone! ahah! It's like you are the brother i wish i had instead the one i have now!
ahah
and yeah. boobs.
isn't that what's the world is all about?
T & A
i would have my own harem full of chcks!
infact i would have a pool full of naked chicks where i could swim in between then and do the deed at the same time,
i would also hire a cleaning crew to remove the dead chicks from the bottom of the pool and replace them with new chicks. cause you know.. they would die down there..
but hey! with 50mil i can do that!
i would probably kill you
.
Step two: Design and build a house one a large chunk of land (I hate neighbors).
Step three: Find people who need help. I dislike and distrust most charities. I'd rather see my money go directly to helping someone.
Step four: Buy my Mom a home and new car... she hasn't had either in a VERY long time.
Step five: Once the kids graduate, start traveling
Somewhere in there, I'd be having fun in the stock market and probably research opening a feelance design house. Opening (and running) a game studio costs more money than I think most people realize
