For some this may bring the catchy Barenaked Ladies tune to mind. But for me, i just dream of what i would do if i found it on the street. My Pyschology teacher brought up an interesting situation: you see a armored truck lose a bag of cash, and somehow, perhaps a sign posted on the bag, you know that this cash was on its way to be burnt up and replaced with fresh, crisp new money. Sooooo, it isnt stealing, all you are doing is messing with inflation a bit.

I challenge you, with this new stack of say... '1 million x your age' dollars to think of 4 things you could do with that money, and we need proof!

My list as follows:
19 years x 1 million = $19 million
1) Little Norman's Cay (http://www.privateislandsonline.com/littlenormanscbbh.htm[) = $7 million
need a carribbean island
2) Butterfield Island (http://www.privateislandsonline.com/butterfielsisland.htm) = $650,000
Need the non-carribbean island
3) Tiffany Ring (http://www.tiffany.com/expertise/diamond/pricing/default.asp?) = $1.3 Million
I cant find the exact one or anything, but id get the most expensive for down the line. gotta be prepared .

.....that puts me at about 9 million...hmm how to spend 10 million....

4) The Corsta V, a pimp sailboat (after all i need to get to my islands).
Check it out. But you will have to sort with price range of $9 mill to $10 mill and click sail to find it since it is a flash burdened web page.
Start here (http://www.denisonyachtsales.com/megayachtsforsale.html).

That boat is 9.9 Mill bringing me 150k shy of 19 mill, but i figure i can use the 150k for the transporting and maintenace of my beast of a sailboat. I HEART SAILBOATS! pics of the boat, but not specs (http://www.yachtcouncil.com/ct_live/591/main.asp?-vessel_photos.asp-?vessel_id=30701&photo=3)

Hope everyone enjoys shopping!!

Sleepy time(i spent an hour doing this. hope it turns out to be a fun thread!)

OK, well, since I'm 24 that would be

24 x 1,000,000 = 24,000,000 dollars!

I would immedialty take $3,000,000 and put in in a bank some where earning interest as a total safe guard. So no matter how bad I fuck up, I would have $3,000,000 dollars to fall back on. If you invest right, you should be able to live the rest of your life of that. So that technically leaves me with $21,000,000 to spend.

1st thing I would do. Quit my job. = FREE
2nd thing. Buy a nice house for my dad. Spend maybe up to $1,500,000, plus give my dad enough cash to retire so he would never have to work again.
3rd thing. Start a company. I would invest $12,000,000 into a company of my choice, and hire all my friends with very high paying jobs.
4th thing. Spend 7 million 500 thousand on whatever I wanted. Vacation, cars, whatever. Just have some fucking fun with all my friends. Hell, maybe I'll even give some money to Hammer!

I kind of meant that you had to find it online and show a link to what you chose to by, otherwise its easy and not that much fun for everyone else. From now on this thread should be devoted to who can find the most expensive thing you can buy on the internet!!

My entry was the sailboat up above for $9.9 million. Can anyone beat that with something other than a more expensive sailboat???

I think ill just use my credit card with the $10 million dollar limit to purchase it. It said 2-4 weeks shipping, so thats not to bad. But looks like shipping will be a bitch...

Hmmm...

26,000,000...

Ok, I'd go downtown and get 25,000,000 $1 blowjobs, then spend the last million in the hospital getting cured from whatever I catch from whores that cheap.

I build a house as badass as this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=12605&item=4331644031&rd=1). Then I'd throw sexy parties, like this
one (www.prism.gatech.edu/~gtg894r/sexyparty.jpg).
With the rest of the money I'd prob buy this car (http://www.astonmartin.com/content/astonmartin/images/1024_768_imageGallery_Vanquish1.jpg) .
Then start my own alt. energy company. I think I can do that in under 19 mil. Oh, I guess investing some with these guys (http://www.ml.com) wouldn't hurt.
