All in the title, really, if you got £100,000,000,000 what would be the first thing you would do?
Take a sizeable chunk of it and invest it wisely for the future.
Donate some to a couple charities which have helped me out.
Then I'd go shopping.
I want a boat, a comfortable, classy, wooden, boat. Not too big. Not too small. Sails and a motor too. Would like to have it built to order by a boatbuilder who really knows what they're doing.
Would like a house, not too big, not too small. With a 'quiet side' where I can get away from other people's noise and commotion. It needs to be a great place for my wife's plants. We both do model trains and would like a room for that. She quilts and sews, want a room for that and a long-arm quilting machine.
Would like to have a back garden with those Garden Railway trains.
Know they're high maintenance, but would like a swimming pool too.
Would like to take some of that money to set up some kind of endowment, scholarship, or something, or two somethings, which would truly help in places where help was truly needed.
Question is, if one has that much money, how much of his time is eaten up in managing that money?
I do NOT want to jack around with people who are trying to get any of that money away from me just because I have it to give.
