So, let's say it's your birthday today. Your parents give you (for this scenario, you live with them) a present. You open the box, and find $10,000,000 inside. It's completely legitimate.

What do you do?


Can you feel it mister Krabs?

I'd buy the necessity, and put the rest away in the bank...for a rainy day.

You wouldn't wonder at all how they got it?

Ask them where it came from and how they obtained it, and then proceed to give $9,000,000 back to them assuming they didn't already keep any for themselves.

Pay off some stuff and invest. As for where they got it...eh, buried treasure?

I'd use some of it to get through the rest of college, clear all my debt, and to make a supercomputer. Other than that, I'd save some, invest some, etc.

Guys, keep in mind: you didn't just get this like in a normal (?) scenario. Your parents GAVE this to you, which means that they had to get it somewhere.

I would ask them where it came from, donate some to charity, buy food and shit, give my parents some of it and buy some "toys" for myself.

Go to Vegas, and try to win more. After that, I'd give half to charity, and the rest to myself, my family, and friends.

That's the thing, I feel like it's kind of a given that you would ask where the fuck they got it, anyway.

First i'd probably faint, then i'd go on a shopping spree, and then bank whatever i didnt spend
somewhere along the way i'd probably ask how they got it all, and make sure it wasnt all the money our family ever had

Not to be the ass, but I'd save it. $10 mil might set me up for life, but I don't know really, me no good at maths. Either way, whenever I get money and try to spend it all just for the sake of getting shit, I regret it, so I'd save it so that if I saw anything I wanted, I could get it.

I'd put 3 mil in either corporate of government bonds/CDs/money markets, and I'd use the rest for investments.

I'd keep about 10 million and split it up into 10 separate bank accounts. Also hire an accountant to keep track of that shit.

Then go to college anyways in case something happens and so that I don't get bored sitting on my ass doing nothing.

Invest in CDs and on some limited edition items from some games. Put half in bank. Burn the rest.

See a psychiatrist. I think living with my dead parents would warrant a visit or 3.

Buy $10,000,000 worth of useless "Kony 2012" crap and burn it and record it for massive damage.

I would convert it into proper money first (pounds) then build a slightly bigger ball pit next to Trambamboline's.


I decided to find out what it would be like to just move away and live in Sydney for one year.

Make many bank accounts, and split it up to $250,000 per each bank account. if I counted right, that's 40 bank accounts. Sheesh.

But then I'd take what I needed, maybe when I'm older I'd invest some of it in some stock.

I would be pretty pissed that we lived in poverty (lower middle class lol) my whole life and that they were taking money from me when they clearly had millions.

Hmm...since it's a given I'll ask them where they got it from, you know what I'd do with the money?
I'd save some for school, college and enough for me to retire prematurely, and then I'd sink the majority of the rest into Newgrounds, or at least Wade, and a fraction of that to Tom.
