    Spend around 5 mill on a flat in London, maybe something in Manhatten aswell and a villa abroad.

    maybe buy a couple of restraunts in London and then continue with my career in the City, while my assets are rising in value.

    invest in property both here and abroad (a.k.a buying great house with massive garden and a walk in wardrobe in the main bedroom)... invest some time in some retail therapy... give money to my dad so he can start a building project... TRAVEL, TRAVEL, TRAVEL.... invest some in something that will keep me generating money or will earn me money... i would sya donate to charity but that seems a bit cheap... i would love to start a homeless shelter or charity myself.

    Set up a business/buy something that can sustain me like a restaurant or franchise or something.

    Nice house.

    Buy dad a Mercedes E class.

    Ferrari 458 Italia, Aston Martin DB9, Lamborghini Aventador, and Mercedes S-Class or a Rolls Royce.

    Pay off debts of family and friends.

    In that order.

    All the standard stuff really.

    Move to California and get a mansion.
    Buy loads of nice cars.
    Get loads of nice girls.
    Give large sums of money to charity regularly.
    Sort out all the money problems of friends and family.
    Spend silly amounts of money of clothing and jewellery.

    And of course, spend the majority of my time cruising around on a yacht.

    Emigrate to Florida, invest in a load of property, probably set up some sort of fund for kids from working class backgrounds (like myself) who want to go to uni, buy houses for people in my family (they all live in flats), invest in the panda project in Chengdu and donate a lot of the money to try and save the tiger.

    I also want the biggest boat I can lay my hands on.


    Edit: Really? I got negged for this....

    Put the fire on because I can afford the gas bill lol! I want to give the Cystic Fibrosis Trust 6m to carry out their gene therapy research. After that I'd buy myself a nice house with a pool, preferably in the country, and follow my dream to be a writer without having to worry about not having enough money to pay the bills while I'm actually writing.

    Half to a worthy cause (I dont trust organised charities but I would actively finance a project that would benefit many)

    House & Land for myself and same for my family

    Couple more modest houses and flats that I would keep ownership of but allow my best friends to live in rent free for some amount of time then rent out once they'd moved on

    A huge takeaway ((because I'm hungry while I'm writing this

    And then I'd tuck what was left into a large savings account and live off the interest while I finished my degree.
