You'd find it difficult just to outright "buy" 51% of the companies stock...

Yes I'm quite aware of this, it's clearly hypothetical.

Hypothetically, it would be very difficult



I'm not going to lie, I'd definitely indulge in the finer things...but after you get bored of all that...I can totally see where you're coming from.

Hmm $315M?
How much after taxes, if taken in one lump sum? :dunno:

My semi-uneducated guess would be 80-100 million.

Good to be conservative. h:
Well... :thinking:

First and foremost would be a home... perhaps in Calabasas, maybe closer to Santa Barbara. Figure 3000-4500 sq.ft., all the amenities, Parthenon - sized garage... say 7 to 10 mil, once the remodel is included.

Then the toys:
993 Turbo, NSX-T, 456GT, Continental T Turbo, F355. E39 M5, 850CSi, C6 Z06, Hennessey Viper Coupe. Westfield FW400. Ariel Atom K20 Supercharged.

I'd still keep the DC4.. just with a new coat of paint a bit of bodywork and a k20 swap. h:

The rest is invested across multiple accounts & funds.
I'd use the interest to fund my travels, from which I'd write.

Yeah, that'd work.. h:

I'd just do the usual thing and get me a decent house, decent car, and still keep me a 40hr a week job so I wouldn't get bored.

You should never, ever reveal your plans on how you intend to take over the world, silly boy.
