This is the single stupidest OP I've ever read.

Do you think a nice house costs more than a few hundred thousand dollars? No, a car doesn't cost 400 million dollars. Neither do groceries. With 800 million dollars, you could have your grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-
grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-children still living a nice life from the family heritage. As long as none of them is as stupid as you. And of course, as long as inflation doesn't make a piece of bread cost a billion dollars.

I promise you, you wouldn't

Unless you've lived in the Himalayas, in a monastery with a bunch of monks, you would keep every penny

You might donate a little, but even then it wouldn't be much

I would probably give something to foundations focusing on cancer or other incurable diseases, but other than that, it's Super yachts, Ferraris, and private jets for me.

Yes.

I would buy all of Mitt Romney's money, because I'd buy the Cayman Isles.

I think I could. Especially living in a small apartment and watching your spending.

I think the only big dollar things I'd buy would be a new car.

That would be pretty easy to do if you don't buy a shit load of extremely expensive things or gamble with it.

How is putting the money in a tax haven earning more money?

No. I'd build an 80 foot statue of myself made of gold with a diamond studded dick sometime in the first few months and die of hunger shortly thereafter.

I COULD do that. But I would burn it all. In front of the poor, the environmentally conscious and the Africans.

I really would like the Idea of investing though just so I could make more and have a back up plan.

Far as OP's question goes... .

Uh, yeah?

Let's look at inflation over the last 100 years... .

average 3% / year

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%241+1902+dollar

So feel free to shift a decimal.

800,000,000 / 30,000 = 2x,xxx <-- who cares about the rest

That leaves practically all of the money to split between figuring out how to delay your inevitable assasination, and investing into a spaceship.

If you anticipate living a hundred years and feel the need to ritualistically, literally flush money down the toilet every day, a good two-grand each day should only run you about ten percent of your total.

80,000,000 / 36,500 = 2,xxx

By all means, I hope I've given you enough information to adjust for your local value of the dollar and living expenses.

Cheers!

600 million is going straight to a bank account in Jersey.

The other 200 million will just sit there, rotting away until i find some use for all that dough.

Lmao, bank account in Jersey.

I'd never trust any American bank with my money. It'd go straight into a Swiss safe.
