What I would do with a 100 millions CAD:
90% to charity and other such organizations.
9 millions in bank so it generates a revenue without me working.
One million for regular stuff such as a nice condominium, a computer, an electric motorcycle, etc.

Of course I would also have a job or at least continue going to school and accumulate the PhDs because I would go mad otherwise.

First of all i'd put enough away so I could live the rest of my life without working. In relative comfort, nothing fancy. I'm fine living middleclass all my life, especially if I don't have to work to do it. Upperclass would just piss me off.

I'd pay Bamco to get Tales games translated quicker. None of this procrastination bullshit.

and i'd likely open an Orphanage. I know that sounds REALLY weird, but its a topic I got interested in a long time ago. A lot of orphanages are honestly terrible places. I know that's because they're purely charitable, but...still. I'd like to open a REAL, nice orphanage.
Oh, and my gaming orphanage would turn kids into gamers.
EDIT: Actually with something ludicrous like 100mill, i'd probably open a few, lol.

Just reread it, 100 million? Here's what I'd do:

First, I'd help pay for my brother and sister's college funding, they need it. Next, I'd give a portion to my parents so they don't have to work anymore, at their age they don't need to be anyway. After that, I'd put half of it in saving and use the rest for whatever.

I'd hire a lotta hackers to hack the security agencies and get the names [and faces] of every friggin terrorist on earth... Y'know, in case that stuff happens to be handy... Or maybe I'm just a bored shinigami.

Ok, seriously...

- Replace all the electronics/gadgets we own. They're all like 5-10 years behind.
- In fact, I'd get a new house or something.
- Get a driver's license. Then a car.
- Buy a lot of books. One can never have too many of those.
- Help family/friends.
- Start up a business [putting it in a bank is a very, very risky investment nowadays].

List of things to do when/if I win the lottery:

1. Buy my girlfriend whatever the hell she wants
2. Buy my family all new homes/etc.
3. Buy EVERY NES, SNES, N64, and Game Boy game in existence, including the Nintendo World Championship carts. I will ALSO troll humanity and pay like, 40,000 for the Gold cart to make its going price double

4. Buy a house and shelves to put them all in.

5. Buy every game and every system ever produced, CIB
6. Buy any and every other game I ever have wanted
7. Buy every Anime/Manga I ever have liked
8. Travel the world, explore and venture to everywhere I always have wanted to go (JAPAN FUND? BAH I won the lottery BEEYATCH)
9. Donate money too all the people on the interwebz I love (AVGN, Pat the NES Punk, you know, like that; and my good friend PG too :wub:COME TO JAPAN WITH ME
tongue.gif
)
10. Whatever else that is not coming to mind.

11. I GUESS I would donate to the the Temp (ONLY IF COSTELLO MAKES ME A GLOBAL MODERATOR/MAG STAFF
tpi.gif
). For 200,000 dollars I would expect a custom badge with the title "Sir Schlupi the Sexy"
rofl.gif



and MOST IMPORTANTLY... I would donate at LEAST 20% of whatever 10/100 million dollars to charities of my choice. I HAVE to give back to the community, it's only fair. Also, a minimum of 20% would be saved for my children, their children, etc.


That's it in a nutshell.

Make Capcom localize Boktai 3 and make a 4th one for the 3DS.

I'd donate to a charity, but I can't think of one off hand that doesn't rob your money.
Kids, family, etc all taken care of with it too.
Seriously, name a charity that hasn't taken your money and done something else with it. (In the U.S.).


Offer a homebrew bounty of $5,000,000 to go to the first one to successfully hack the 3DS.

- Invest 80 million in gold or a bank investment.
- Give my 2 brothers each home of their choice, within a maximum budget of course. Don't want them to be leeching of me their whole life (although I don't expect them to do that)
- Pay my parents just 100 000 euros, not more, but with this money they can really travel to every country they want.
- Invest 10 million in my favourite football team, Club Brugge. Not that much in the world but in Belgian standards, that's a lot!
- Buy a Galaxy S2, a better CPU for my PC (the rest is still top-notch) and emulate the living hell out of it.
- New clothes
- When I get my driving license, buy a luxorious but not overdone car, like the BMW X5.

And of course, give some money to the homebrew community and GBAtemp. Not that much, 5000 for GBAtemp and 100 euros for each homebrew project I deem worthy.

I've though about it a few times, but doubting it will ever happen, i never felt like it was worth mentioning. I would probably save it all in the bank so that it would grow, and then:

- blow off a bit for myself, i love me some virtual game currency, hehe.
- somehow help the android community, i'm quite close on getting myself an android phone as well.
-give some to relatives to do whatever the hell they want, my grandma would probably put it to great use, she has many ties with several buddhist communities around asia, and is known for donating tons of money to small hospitals and unfortunate children
-donate a quarter of what i have left to charity
-doubt Ill spend too much for anything, so id save the rest for emergencies, or for future things, like getting a new house if I were to ever build up my own family, for child care, insurance, all of the usual for the protection of my family, i dont plan on fucking up anything in my life, and to be a freakin great dad, no drugs, alchohol, smoking, the likes of it. I'd be the best damn dad i could ever be.

100 million is a lot.
I would at first give by 2 millions to my family since they deserve it, then I would give by 1 million to my close friends (GBAtemp friends imply to that too)
Then I will give 4 million to bribe costello so that he will make me an admin.
I will then invest the rest into a business so I can get even more money.
I will leave 1 million to myself and invest all of that into my dream of becoming a game reviewer...

I'd be boring and hire a financial advisor. After upgrading my PC (it can't even run Windows XP properly).

I would get rid of my Audi, because it is so god damn expensive to fix (Well, then again... I would have money!) and probably get a Subaru (Which would be like $5k if I sold my Audi). I just need to get places. I don't care about all that junk in the car I never use.

Then use like $1k on just stuff I want, but don't need. Like some more music gear. Maybe some video game stuff?

And... save the rest for college.

I know. Boring...
You want to save $99994000 for college?

Where to start, where to start, where to start...

My mostlikely course of action:

- Well, we should all know what this one is... Income tax... well, there went 45 mil (current US taxes, IIRC)...
- A few million to cherity
- large donation to GBAtemp (a mil?) so that it can keep running for a reeeaallllyyyy long time without needing additional money
- Save some money especially to give to each homebrew bounty
- A lot of money to my family... We are in a huge financial pit, and every time we see the light of day, someone blocks it and knocks us back down in the hole
- Save some
- Help my mom with all her health problems
- Buy just about every gadget I have ever wanted (including, but not limited to, every honeycomb tablet, VirtualBoy, and GameBoy Micro)
- Go to a good college, such as DeVry
- ???
- Profit more?

In order of priority.
- College and School. Definitely. Even as a 14 year old, I already want a PhD. XD
- House. Living in an apartment is quite sad...
- Family. Give some to my aunt's business, get my other aunt back home, give some to my divorced uncle to get him to go to rehab for alcoholism, some for all my relative's numerous health problems.
- Car. I can't drive it, but my dad can. That'd be fantastic.
- Charity. About... 1/16th?

- Huge-ass entertainment system. That would be epic as hell.
- A trip to somewhere amazing. Perhaps France, Italy, Japan, or Brazil.
- Personal Trainer. Gotta lose that flab I have.
biggrin.gif

- Personal Chef. To make healthy food.

Big house, all the gadgets, fancy cars etc. You know, all the obvious stuff. I'd also buy Costello a hovercraft. I don't know if he wants one but I'd buy it all the same.
