GM no way. They left plenty of investors twisting in the wind.

Or just become an arms dealer and get a gubmnt contract with the ATF to ship weapons to the cartel. Can't lose there. lol

That was then, this is now. Business is smoking for GM with the China market. I've never lost a penny on a gun. I've sure made a lot though. All guns appreciate better than the stock market.

The ones that run it now left the twisters though. I don't trust em much myself.

Guns are selling like hotcakes on sunday morning lately.

If I actually won 100 million I'd give most of it away. I'd sure keep enough to never have to worry plus enough to be extravagant if I wanted to, but I'd give most to others and let them worry about what to do with it. I wouldn't want that much responsibility to be honest.

I'd buy a farm with a lot of isolated acreage and hire people to help me run it. I'd put a lot of cash into farm/rural preservation, like buying up land to keep the developers out and giving financial assistance to local family farms.

$100 million?

I would buy a mansion (about 20,000 square feet) in Hidden Hills or Chatsworth (California) and hire some employees... a chef, a butler, a maid/housekeeper, a few RNs (Registered Nurses), landscape and yard maintainers, someone to wash/wax my cars.

I would buy houses (not mansions) for a few family members and friends. And, of course, cash for those family members and friends.

I certainly would invest some. I would hire a financial adviser to determine where to invest and how much.

And I would buy about 12 or so 1950s-1970s American cars. Cadillacs, Lincolns and muscle cars.

start a small business in verbier and become a swiss resident and on a path to swiss citizenship. It is much easier when you have 9 digits to bring.

The rest I will spend on cocaine and high end eastern european escorts.

I wouldn't live to see 30.

What a waste of a life that would be. You would regret it very much.
