    I'd just get Anne Hathaway to blow me for a week. Then I'd spend the rest on a burger.

    Why the fuck would anyone with half a head gamble any of that money on stock?

    You put that money in places that don't lose money.

    Or you hire an army to mine gold and build a spaceship to leave Earth..

    Fucking savages around here.

    Berkshire Hathaway stock is more solid than any government bond or Government back security you could ever buy

    If the market tanked then you might lose it all. I would take the lump sum, have $524M after all taxes, invest $224M in 10 year Treasury Notes, rolling everything over twice more and in 30 years I have my billion. Take the original $224M and start over again giving the family $750M or so to spend every 30 years plus what ever they could make with other investments.

    Of course I would have another $300M of which I would probably dole out $60M to the kids, brothers and sisters. Put $40M in some riskier investments, buy my island in Keys and my loft in Manhattan probably $15M total, another $5M on boats and cars. Park $100M in gold just in case and that leaves me about $80M which would go into safe investments to make enough interest each year to pay the upkeep on everything.

    Oh yeah, forgot the hookers and blow, there goes about $10M.

    Nothing is more secure than the Treasury bonds.

    Living off the interest of the world's safest investment is the way to go...

    "You put that money in places that don't lose money." - you one hour ago.

    "Yes, the treasury. Lmao. " - you now.

    How do you do this?

    Two statements, one intelligent, the second completely moronic.

    Technical question.

    Say somebody wins. How do they go and collect money? Do they hire a lawyer, do they notarize it?

    ^ sign the back, hire two lawyers, an accountant and a financial advisor, and don't tell anybody a damn thing until a while after you collect

    Just read you have to pay 25% or close to $350m if you want to claim in anonymous. GTFO, they already take close to $600m in taxes and now they want $350m more to claim in anonymous. No thanks.

    I'd go one step further. I'd request that my ID be kept quiet until I gave permission for its release if ever..
